In a Hurry? The Results Are In: A rigorous study by Dr. Mark Bull has scientifically shown that wearing frequency technology—the core engine behind our AV Edge Legend Wristband and AV Edge Advanced Wristband—delivered a statistically significant increase in peak pelvis acceleration, thorax speed, and overall club head speed.

Every golfer knows that increasing club head speed is a primary driver for achieving greater ball carry distance. But what if there was a scientifically supported way to enhance your body’s natural mechanics to gain that extra edge? A groundbreaking study conducted by Dr. Mark Bull, a PhD in Sport Exercise and Rehabilitation Science and PGA Golf Coach, has revealed how frequency technology can do just that.
The Secret of the "Summation of Speed"
The power of a golf swing relies on a "summation of speed principle," where energy is transferred in a sequence from the ground up: starting from the pelvis, moving to the thorax, then through the arms, and finally to the club head. For maximum speed at impact, each segment must accelerate and decelerate at the optimal timing. Research suggests that the pelvis and thorax play the most influential roles in accelerating the club head toward the ball.
The Dr. Mark Bull Study: Rigorous Science
To investigate the impact of frequency technology on this sequence, Dr. Bull conducted a study involving 50 category-one golfers with a mean handicap of -1.1. The methodology was designed for high internal validity:
- Blind Testing: Participants hit shots both with and without a frequency wristband, with the bands attached by a third party so neither the golfer nor the researcher knew when the technology was active.
- Precision Measurement: The study utilised high-tech Polhemus G4 3D motion tracking and Trackman 4.0 launch monitors to capture data on segmental acceleration and club head speed.
- Consistency: Each participant hit ten shots with a 6-iron onto an open-air range using full compression balls.
The Results: Faster, Stronger, More Efficient
The findings were clear: wearing the band resulted in a statistically significant increase in the primary metrics that drive distance. When wearing the band, golfers experienced:
- Increased Peak Pelvis Acceleration: 2237 d/s/s compared to 2175 d/s/s without the band.
- Increased Thorax Peak Speed: 3495 d/s/s compared to 3415 d/s/s without the band.
- Increased Peak Club Head Speed: A significant jump to 86.04 mph compared to 85.09 mph.
