Author: Mike Carroll September 16, 2021 Duration: 55:25

In this episode of the Fit For Golf Podcast I am joined by Dr Mark Bull. 

From bull3d.net :

Mark has a PhD in Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation science from Birmingham University and is also a fully qualified PGA Professional

Mark is widely recognised as one of the world’s leading experts in 3D motion capture and biomechanical analysis.

His main areas of interest and continued research are why players move and swing the way they do and what influences the players swing and performance, including areas such as anatomy, physiology, neurological learning and how areas such as our experiences, perceptions, concepts and beliefs have a significant influence on how we swing and perform.
