The flight attitude of Ryoyu Kobayashi (25) was analyzed by the supercomputer “Tomitake”.
It is said that “less turbulence in the airflow on the back of the second half” leads to a long flight distance.
“Motion capture”:
Motion capture that converts movement into data with sensors attached to each part of the body.
When analyzed by this method,
Other players have less lift in the second half,
It turned out that Kobayashi’s lift is increasing.
Factors that increase lift:
“The turbulence of the airflow on the back is small, and the pressure on the back is small.”
The angle of the body affects the air flow.
