Panel: What Drives the Pivot

An expert panel discussion exploring what drives pivot body movement in the golf swing — featuring force plate experts, 3D motion specialists, and veteran instructors.

This wide-ranging discussion covers:

• How ground reaction force plates reveal what you can't see with video or 3D kinematics

• The difference between the 'what' (video), the 'why' (physical/concept), and the 'how' (force plates)

• Why force plates often prevent you from changing things that are already special about a player

• The Scotty Scheffler debate: his foot slide, high ball flight, and the speed advantage

• Athletic development vs. mechanical instruction

• Moment arms, angular momentum, and how to double torque through positioning alone

• Why not every great golfer follows the same kinetic sequence

• Audience Q&A with Brian Manzella and Chris Como weighing in
