Description
Relative hand position away from body measures the fore/aft position of the hands relative to the shoulders at foot contact, indicating pre-swing hand positioning.Normative Ranges
Percentile distributions by competition level from the 2026 Q1 dataset; the optimal range spans the 25th–75th percentiles.Use Cases
- Swing setup assessment
- Hand position evaluation
