What Tiger Woods’ 3D Swing Data Reveals

A Sportsbox case study of the pelvis lift, transition, and speed-transfer patterns behind Tiger Woods’ powerful, consistent motion.

Look beyond positions

A 3D swing analysis can connect what a coach sees with how segments move through time. In Sportsbox’s Tiger Woods case study, three patterns stand out: pelvis drop and lift, movement toward the target during transition, and transfer of speed through the arm and club.

Pelvis lift into impact

Sportsbox’s analysis highlights strong vertical action. The case study reports a 3.6-inch pelvis drop and 3.7-inch lift into impact, showing how the pelvis lowers and then rises through the downswing.

Slide in transition

The analysis also reports chest and pelvis movement toward the target during transition. That data gives a coach a measurable way to discuss lateral motion instead of relying only on a video impression.

Transfer of speed

The final lesson is that no single number explains a golf swing. Sportsbox’s speed analysis looks at how motion transfers from the arm to the club shaft, connecting body movement to the resulting club motion.

Use this type of tour analysis as a teaching example—not a prescription that every golfer should copy.
