Interaction Forces in Golf Swing (Carol Putnam)
Source links for papers on interaction forces in the golf swing and their possible role in proximal-to-distal sequencing. The current review page has not yet established how strongly these papers support golf-specific performance claims.

Induced Acceleration Analysis (Felix Zajac)
Research links for induced acceleration analysis, a model-based method for attributing segment accelerations to forces, torques, and interaction terms. The strength of any conclusion depends on the model, measurements, and decomposition method used.
