Leads With Wrist

Binary indicator if wrist leads the swing: if wrist initiation event occurs before pelvis initiation event. This identifies improper swing sequencing where the upper body initiates before the lower body.

Technical Details

• Variable Type: Discrete Metric
• Data Type: Boolean
• Units: True/False
• Column Name: leads_with_wrist
• Calculation: Wrist initiation event < Pelvis initiation event (launch)
• Optimal Value: False (pelvis should initiate first)

Description

This flag indicates whether the wrist initiation occurs before pelvis initiation, which represents improper swing sequencing. In an optimal swing, the pelvis should initiate before the wrists.

Use Cases

• Swing sequencing analysis
• Technique correction
• Upper body timing assessment
• Kinetic chain evaluation
