Book excerpt: The leading expert in 3-D gold instruction shows readers how to improve their golf game like the pros—with the unrivaled TaylorMade® MAT-T system. Recreational golfers and touring professionals are turning to video swing analysis to improve their game, and the most state-of-the-art video system today is TaylorMade®’s MAT-T (Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade®) system. Combining multiple high-speed cameras and specifically designed software to produce a three-dimensional, computer-animated image of a golfer’s swing, the MAT-T system gives players of all handicaps the ability to compare their golf swings to the composite swing avatars of PGA players such as Dustin Johnson or Sergio Garcia, to see how the game’s longest hitters align themselves and position their bodies throughout their golf swings. Michael Neff, founder of the first TaylorMade® Performance Lab, has vast experience helping players like Dave Stockton, Natalie Gulbis, and Charles Wi use the MAT-T system to improve their swings. In Drive Like the Pros, he shows how golfers at all levels can adjust everything from the position of their shoulders to the club’s angle of descent and spin as they: • Increase clubhead speed, ball speed, and smash factor. • Consistently contact the “sweet spot” on the clubface. • Improve accuracy and have better control over misses. Providing an unprecedented level of customized feedback and advice—and sharing exclusive championship player swing data previously available to only a handful of insiders—Drive Like the Pros is an essential addition to every golfer’s library.

Download or read book How Golf Clubs Really Work and how to Optimize Their Designs written by Frank D. Werner and published by Origin, Incorporated. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book entitled How Golf Clubs Really Work and How to Optimize Their Design ($29.95), is the first book published that focuses on the golf club and the way that golfers can utilize their specific clubs to achieve better shot control, leading to lower scores for all golfers. The book is the end result of a 10-year, full-time dedicated research effort for co-authors Frank D. Werner and Richard C. Grieg. Both have advanced degrees in aerospace engineering and together have over 90 patents. The authors have discussed many issues relevant to the game of golf and analyzed the way that different factors play a part in shot making. Chapters are included on optimal face curvature (bulge and roll may be extinct), shaft length and head weight to maximize distance, and the effects of wind drag on club head speed (less than you would expect). In addition, the authors have developed new aiming and shot control techniques that could allow golfers to have better control, hit more fairways and greens, and lower their scores. The book will provide useful insights for a broad spectrum of golfers from touring pros and teaching professionals to struggling beginners and serious golfers looking to shave a few strokes off their game. By providing an analysis of all that happens from impact until the ball stops, the authors have de-mystified one of the world's greatest games.

Download or read book Golf Science written by Mark F. Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “enlightening” illustrated exploration of the scientific factors that determine success or failure on the golf course (The New York Times). What happens in the brain during the preshot routine? Does head movement hinder swing performance? Will I hit the ball farther with a longer driver? Why do I lose distance into the wind? What can I learn from watching my ball in flight? How should practice be structured? What are the key stats in golf that I need to know? Golf is perhaps the most complicated simple game ever invented. Legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods make the sport look easy, but anyone who has ever picked up a club knows how truly frustrating golf can be. The success of each shot depends on a diverse range of factors, from the club you choose and the speed with which you swing it, to your mood, the weather, and even the type and cut of the grass. Science plays a crucial role in most, if not all, of these factors, and in Golf Science, sports science expert Mark F. Smith investigates the cutting-edge scientific wonders that take the ball from tee to hole—addressing facets from equipment to environment to technology to mind and body with the aid of explanatory diagrams and illustrations.

Download or read book The Maltby Playability Factor written by Ralph Maltby Enterprises, Incorporated and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ralph Maltbys latest book is the product of over a decade of research and a lifetime of experience with golf club design. For decades, Ralph has analyzed and designed irons, delving into why certain designs perform so well and are long lived, while others seem to fade from the game quickly. He developed a comprehensive system to fit golfers of every playing ability based on his experience, which includes fitting touring professionals. Now, Ralph has developed an analytical system that explains how iron club designs play. In this book, he explains how, based on his research, he concludes that several mass and dimensional properties of an iron head design dictate how the iron influences ball flight. He then takes those properties, measures them and puts them through a calculation that results in an index of playability. He discusses the theory and history behind iron design, citing numerous examples, and translates the theory into a practical guide for understanding iron playability. Finally, the book includes the results of measuring most of the modern irons available today. There is enough history and explanation to satisfy any golf equipment buff, and enough technical detail and procedure to make this book required reading for any equipment designer.The book has many sidebars, adding explanations and often recounting Ralphs experiences as he developed this system. This is an absolute MUST HAVE book for anyone with a passion for golf equipment, golf club history, and, to say the least, golf club designers!Contents include:Section 1: MALTBY PLAYABILITY FACTOR (MPF) FOR IRONS The book starts with a detailed history of the development of the modern iron, including examples of how some designers have learned to improve playability while others have not. It then examines each of the key mass and dimensional properties that influence playability, why and how they do, and then assembles the mathematical formula for MPF.Section 2: OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS IN IRONHEAD PLAYABILITY AND DESIGN Ralph shares his experience on a number of other topics, including what happens to the clubhead at impact, bounce, grooves, face progression, offset, designs for women golfers, and many other topics.Section 3: HOW TO MEASURE IRONS Of particular interest to custom clubmakers and equipment designers, this section includes step by step, pictorial explanations of how all key iron head measurements, including those to calculate MPF, are made. This will provide an industry reference standard for the future. Page number references for those tools that are distributed by The GolfWorks appear on Page 6.Section 4: MALTBY PLAYABILITY FACTOR LISTINGS Finally, of interest to virtually all golfers, the book lists all the mass and dimensional properties for most modern irons as well as many of historical significance. In addition to listing playability ratings, the book includes pictures of the heads, making this an indispensable guide to modern irons.
