Rotation

A study conducted by Rouen University showed that women's golf swings tend to feature more hip and shoulder rotation, and to be wider overall.
Knees
-
Rouen University's study also showed that men tend to flex the right knee more during the swing. This could possibly be related to weight transfer to the right side.
-
Stances
-
Men's golf stances tend to be less spread out than those of women. While male stances are typically the width of the shoulders, female golf stances tend to be wider to offer more stability for a more pronounced hip turn.
Speed
-
Club head speed appeared to be nearly identical during Rouen University's golf swing comparison. The study used a radar system to generate this data.
Equipment
-
Customized golf equipment helps produce the best possible results, regardless of the type of swing. It is best to make sure that any clubs used accommodate the game of the player.
