Waggle Weight Wisdom™

Now I am hardly saying that you should forget about being as detailed as possible and seeking perfection with respect to golf club lie while remaining greatly detailed about everything else.  I am simply saying here that because a predominant element of this particular testing revolves around golf club swingweighting and because this automatic correction exists between golf club lie and swingweighting, Read the rest of this entry »

I first want to add certain information here as sort of a continuation of my preceding post because I focused so much there on launch monitors for clubfitting.  In further supporting my earlier statement that only a few select basic tools are needed to accomplish superb clubfitting, and in keeping with my declaration that the golf shaft is not the “nothing-else-matters” component that many make it out to be, other clubfitting devices that are often overrated are not necessary either.  These include but are not limited to Read the rest of this entry »

Notwithstanding that this post sequence is geared primarily toward golf club “fitting” aspects, I cannot help but interject certain club “making” facets that can be extremely important to the process(es) at hand.  I personally consider “fitting” work to be every bit as much a part of “playing” as trying to hit my best drive or sink a putt during a round of golf.  This is because Read the rest of this entry »

There is a point I want to make through stating just one of a multitude of details (I will reveal much more later) about Moment of Insanity (MOI) golf club matching.  Even if you are familiar with some of my other work that exposes the golf club specification of swingweight as being somewhat obsolete in its present form and you are perhaps aware that your fulcrum point position might operationally be in a different location than that of standard swingweighting, you are still likely to Read the rest of this entry »

This touches on some elements that can be more complex when investigating them more deeply than merely what has been described in this post sequence and which I plan to explore more later, but it at least offers some general guidelines to work with at this time.  So the extreme club lengths I was having fun with and gave as examples earlier could Read the rest of this entry »

The combination of these factors results in a circumstance where, unless working with an adjustable-weight clubhead having a wide range of weight possibilities, not much change in golf club length can be achieved before encountering the following situation.  First, without any alterations to the clubhead’s weight, a sizable number of golfers will start to swing and play quite poorly because of resultant swingweight value changes that occur with golf club length changes of only Read the rest of this entry »

Playing length measurements of the test golf clubs being constructed (first referring specifically to the head ends of the clubs) must be taken to points consistent with the points used when discussing the tip ends of the shafts and shaft installation depths, which are Read the rest of this entry »

Before the shafts are securely fastened to the heads of the test golf clubs, test clubs that will be extremely critical toward learning some of the most important basic principles of golf swing performance and associated golf equipment fitting, there are some additional details I want to address to hopefully prevent regrettable circumstances from occurring after the shafts are installed (and it is too late to do certain things).  First, regarding any trimming of shafts before their installations into the heads, any trimming of the butt ends of the shafts should never Read the rest of this entry »

Having provided certain information about specific golf shaft traits that can be relevant to and intertwined with the fitting of one’s best golf grip size, I would advise you here to not become too concerned or overwhelmed if you cannot see any connection(s) between the two at this point.  Constant-weight versus unitized shaft comparisons, while important, become more applicable when Read the rest of this entry »

Performance comparisons (that have grip sizing connections for a golfer for any given club) between taper-tip, constant-weight and parallel-tip, unitized golf shafts can include comparisons such as golf ball travel results and golfer swing performance, which in and of itself can be subdivided into multiple performance facets.  Just one of these is whether a constant-weight or unitized shaft design might be better suited for use in conjunction with the exact same Read the rest of this entry »
