Why are low handicap golfers less wowed by fittings?
The reason low handicap golfers tend to be less “wowed” by a fitting is because as a better player, they have over the years already found clubs that fit their more consistent swing characteristics reasonably well. Better players can and do fit themselves with great success.
What is a better shaft for one player?
What is a “better” performing shaft for one player can be a poorly performing shaft for other players, and vice versa, simply because shaft performance is totally about matching the weight, full length stiffness, torque and weight distribution to the swing characteristics and preference for feel of each individual golfer.
Why is my golf ball flying higher?
If a golfer is properly fit so his shafts are not too stiff or too flexible for his clubhead speed, transition force, downswing tempo and point of release and he truly does exhibit a higher ballooning ball flight, then the predominant reason is because of a swing error that causes the dynamic loft on the clubhead to be too high for the golfer’s club head speed and angle of attack. The only way a shaft can reduce shot height and spin is to fit the golfer into a substantially stiffer shaft or significantly more tip stiff bend profile. That only can have an effect for golfers with a later-to-very-late release and brings with it the risk of the shaft being much too stiff for the golfer, which in turn can rob the golfer of distance and cause the feeling of impact to be less solid.
What is the shaft of a golf club?
The Shaft is the Engine of the Golf Club. Actually, you the golfer are the engine, the shaft acts more like the transmission. The weight of the shaft is a key element in the fitting and performance of golf clubs for ALL golfers. The overall stiffness design (aka the flex and bend profile) is an element of golf clubs that becomes progressively more ...
What matters more to putting success for any player with any type of stroke?
What matters far more to putting success for any player with any type of stroke is having the length, lie, loft, weighting and grip size/feel perfectly fit to their stance, posture, ball position, hand position, stroke angle of attack and preference for feel.
What is a tour grind sole?
If we define a “tour grind sole” as a pronounced sole radius in the direction from face to back across the surface of the sole combined with rounding the leading edge at the bottom of the face, such a sole shape is good for ALL players, whether from nationally ranked all the way to a beginner. It actually can be said that such a “tour grind” sole shape is actually more important for a less skilled player to have than a very good player.
How many fittings are there for a full swing club?
With the full swing clubs, there are no less than 12 key fitting specifications that all have to be carefully and often painstakingly analyzed and matched to each golfer’s combination of size, strength, athletic ability and swing characteristics. With putters, there are six.
What happens when a hammer swings across a circuit?
As you take a step, the hammer swings across and touches a metal contact in the center, completing the circuit and allowing current to flow. The flow of current energizes the circuit and adds one to your step count.
How does a pedometer work?
This is pretty much how a pedometer works. Photo: Pedometers can measure your steps because your body swings from side to side as you walk. Each swing counts as one step. Multiplying the number of "swings" by the average length of your steps tells you how far you've gone.
Why are pedometers a poor gauge of exercise?
Scientists argue that pedometers are a poor gauge of exercise because they tell you nothing about the intensity of your effort. Pedometer take-apart by Lemore Edman. Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, February 20, 2008: An excellent series of photos showing a pedometer dismantled into its numerous pieces.
Why do pedometers have a screw?
Some pedometers have a screw you can turn to alter the tension of the swinging pendulum-hammer inside them so it will register your steps correctly. If you're running, you might need to adjust it slightly differently compared to walking, for example, because your steps will likely be a different length.
What is the circuit inside a pedometer?
Artwork: In this common design of pedometer, there's an electric circuit inside (red path) that is alternately broken and completed as you make steps. When the pedometer tilts to the left, the circuit is completed and a step is counted by an electronic circuit (top left).
Can a pedometer count steps?
Counting steps with a pedometer sounds super-scientific, but you need to remember that it's only an approximate measurement . Not all your steps will be correctly counted and some false movements (jolts in the road as you ride in a car, for example) might be counted as steps too.
