Justifying the Journey to Golf Grip Development

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

In looking back and considering all things within my variety of experiences to this point, developing a decent golf grip was one of the hardest things I struggled with overall when learning to golf.  I am referring here to both the physical unnaturalness of and the mental lack of legitimate reasoning given by others for overlapping or interlocking one’s fingers when gripping a golf club.  I admit here that my golf swing was (more…)

The Wrong Reason for the Right Golf Grip

Friday, August 15th, 2008

It has been said over and over again that the foundation of one’s golf swing lies in the way one grips a golf club, and such words are basically true.  Now a good golf grip can be mastered with practice and without ever swinging a golf club, so one can still have a good golf grip and yet a very undeveloped swing.  But over time, one’s hold on a golf club is perhaps (more…)

Forming the Future of Golf Through Reform

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

In my next post I will finally begin some genuine golf instruction, which I am really looking forward to.  I guarantee I will be revealing aspects not disclosed adequately before (if at all).  This includes my first topic of the golf grip, explaining the real reason behind overlapping or interlocking one’s hands together when golfing while it is not so advantageous to do so in other activities.  If you are convinced (more…)

Clubfitting 101: An Industry Still in Infancy

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Before embarking on some golf swing and equipment fitting concepts and instruction that will forever change the way these two aspects are viewed, I want to reiterate here a little of the paradox currently existing in the golf industry.  While golf itself might be thought of as one of the oldest games on the planet, the clubfitting industry is actually (more…)

Clubfitting 101: Weaving a Tangled Web of Golf

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I assume that most clubfitting educators are hardworking, firmly believe in what they teach, and are honest about what they choose to reveal.  After all, most if not all people that declare such information have other direct or indirect business interests associated with what they disclose (I am no exception), so logically the quality of disclosed fitting information will affect those other interests.  But in the end it is what it is, and what it is right now is unfortunately pretty bad clubfitting theory and practice. (more…)

Clubfitting 101: The Missing Link

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Here I will specify and elaborate a bit more about exactly what parts of previously taught clubfitting information are good and/or available and what parts are quite poor and/or missing.  One universal statement that can be made about the current clubfitting industry is (more…)

Clubfitting 101: A Better Bench for Clubfitters

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

I restate here that, centrally, Waggle Weight Wisdom is not written from the viewpoint of a club component designer, engineer or “technical consultant,” marketer, or many other primary career paths that might be considered merely “incidental” to truly trying to play golf at a high level.  (more…)

Current Clubfitting: Uncalculated Comedy

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Waggle Weight Wisdom is now only about a handful of posts away from starting to reveal certain golf swing and clubfitting concepts that will forever change the way they are both viewed.  The insight will help take the swing instruction and clubfitting trades from their current reputations of being quite inefficient into models of equipment fitting and swing training that will want to be emulated by all.  Before beginning, however, (more…)

Clubfitting 101: A Combination for Confusion

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

I ended my previous post by stating how certain golf ball flights regularly associated with certain swing traits, while oftentimes reliable, are associations that result in far too many inconsistencies and/or errors on too many occasions to justifiably depend on them toward effective clubfitting.  One example comprises (more…)

Clubfitting 101: Pondering Priorities and Paths

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Last post I approached golf club swingweighting as being fit directly to one’s swinging motion, whereby the specification’s value emerges as one of the most primary and crucial variables to get right if one wants to play his or her best golf.  Now I will look at the same parameter from the standpoint of fitting it to one’s golf ball flight, where much differently the swingweight value is (more…)
