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 Dave Pelz s Short Game Bible written by Dave Pelz and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 1999-05-11 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the first book in a four-book series, The Dave Pelz Scoring Game Series. The next volume in the series will be Dave Pelz's Putting Bible. "He who rules the short game collects the gold." --Dave Pelz's Golden Rule of Golf Fed up with trying to imitate the pros, buying the latest expensive equipment, and seeing your handicap stay the same? The first book by bestselling author and internationally revered golf instructor Dave Pelz since Putt Like the Pros, his bestselling classic, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible can show you the way to lower scores by improving your short game. The result of decades of scientific research studying thousands of golfers, Dave's philosophy is as simple as it is revolutionary and groundbreaking: Instead of practicing the wrong things the right way, or the right things the wrong way, Pelz shows you how to find your own personal weaknesses and how to improve them to efficiently lower your scores. Packed with all the knowledge, charts, and photos needed to learn from the master, Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is the essential book for every golfer who's looking to improve his or her game. Dave's approach to golf is easy to understand: 80 percent of the strokes golfers lose to par are determined by their play within 100 yards of the green--the crucial scoring game. The most important and yet the least focused-on aspect of golf, your short game, can indeed make or break your entire game. And nobody teaches the short game like Dave Pelz. His renowned golf schools and clinics focus exclusively on putting and the short game, attracting top players like Tom Kite, Colin Montgomerie, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, reigning PGA champion Vijay Singh, Steve Elkington, Payne Stewart, Peter Jacobsen, and many LPGA players including Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann. The pros know, as you are about to learn, that while others teach golfers how to swing, Dave Pelz teaches golfers how to score . . . and win. A former physicist for NASA, Dave brings a scientific rigor to his research and instruction that has made him the top short-game expert in the world. Dave has observed and then taught thousands of golfers to improve their ability to score better. The years he has spent studying the short game, including chipping, lobs, pitches, distance wedges, and bunker play, have resulted in an unequaled expertise and a fascinating body of knowledge on golf, with the statistics and data to back it up. In this new book, Dave for the first time shares the understanding and techniques he has taught the pros, including a wide array of innovative tests and exercises for mastering those deceptive and high-pressure shots of the short game. Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is an essential book for golfers of all levels. Covering everything golfers need to know to improve their short game, Dave's system can--and will--help you to consistently shoot lower scores.

Download or read book Golf written by Mark Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have this grave misconception about golf. Most of them think that it is the easiest sport to play. Think about it. You just hit a small ball with a club across the course and drive around in a cool electric cart. However, there is more to the game of golf than just that. It is actually one of the most technical sports in the world, and it all starts with the right equipment, particularly the clubs.There is a reason why golfers have to lug around a huge bag full of clubs every time they have to play. Golfers have to play in different terrains, and they need to use a different club depending on where their balls fall. There are clubs that are best for when the ball fell on a patch of long grass. Others, on the other hand, are useful for when the unfortunate happens and the ball lands in a sand trap. You can also find clubs that players can use when they find their ball in a shallow puddle. If you want to become the best golfer that you can be, you need to have the right set of golf clubs.In this book, you will be learning all about the different kinds of golf clubs. You will learn what they are usually used for, how each one of them behaves, and how to use them properly to get the desired results. As an extra, you will also receive an easy training guide so you can improve your golf form and the strength of your swing. There are also a couple of quick guides about cleaning and maintaining your golf clubs so you can use them for many more years to come. In addition, you will get a bonus chapter, which tackles the dos and don'ts of buying secondhand golf clubs. Most beginners cannot afford to buy brand new golf clubs so secondhand gear is the next best thing.Of course, you can't expect to become an expert right after you read this book. You will need months of practice before you can even play a decent round of golf without throwing your clubs across the green, but at least you will have a better understanding about your gear. If you know how your clubs work, then you are already well on your way towards becoming a decent golfer, and you will start enjoying the game the way it was meant to be played.

Download or read book Golf Clubs and How to Use Them written by Edward Ray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Golf Clubs and How to Use Them Prefaces are often boring, and so very seldom touch upon real issues, that I make no apology for the brevity of mine to this work. But, I would like to emphasize that when all our leading authorities on the orthodox in golf disagree here and there in little matters, then surely the unorthodox golfer is entitled to his opinion or opinions. Suffice it to say that I never was orthodox even as a small boy in Jersey, and one may say that either because of, or despite, this persistence of mine in keeping away from stereotyped golfing methods, I have attained a small measure of success in that Royal and Ancient game. On each of my tours in America, and very often in this country, I have been asked how I accounted for a player of my style - a style in many ways breaking the canons of golf - achieving success now and then, and I have invariably indulged in the Caledonian characteristic of answering one question by asking another: "How do you think I would fare were I to drop my present style?"
