Waggle Weight Wisdom™

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.  Read the rest of this entry »

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, Read the rest of this entry »

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 Read the rest of this entry »

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 Read the rest of this entry »

At the end of my most recent post, I wrote about fitting golf grip size based exclusively on ball travel results.  If deciding to take this approach, would you choose to make the presumption that when ball flight is at its best you are swinging your best, or would you prefer to prove that assumption separately and directly if you had the chance instead of relying on such an “indirect” method of gauging swing performance?  The fact is Read the rest of this entry »

It should hopefully be realized by now that the only truly legitimate way of fitting clubs in a proficient manner is by Read the rest of this entry »

Over the last couple of posts I distinctly separated two options of fitting golf clubs to players, those being based directly on one’s swing performance and directly to ball travel.  The conclusions are quite clear.  While each approach in and of itself could essentially be utilized on its own to fit clubs, Read the rest of this entry »

Last post I pointed out how so critically important it is to fit golfers’ clubs to the way they swing, yet at the same time revealed how this really cannot and should not be done to the exclusion of all other clubfitting factors.  Think now about fitting golf clubs based on ball travel alone while completely neglecting one’s swing.  Can this be done?  Read the rest of this entry »

Here I begin to consider the two extreme-end approaches on the Lifeline of Clubfitting as stand-alone processes to see how potentially effective each alone may be in the fitting of golf clubs.  First think of fitting clubs only to one’s golf swing without regard to any other elements of play, which I reemphasize here can be attempted and accomplished with virtually every golf club specification.  Why attempt this?  Well if the fit of one’s golf club(s) allows one to swing to the best of his or her ability, then one’s best capacity for distance, control, and consistency hitting golf balls with the given club(s) becomes available.  What other reason do you need for desiring to fit golf clubs directly to one’s swing?  Should clubs be fit based on one’s golf swing alone?  The answer is Read the rest of this entry »

I now return to the only two major and direct ways of fitting golf clubs to golfers: golf ball travel and swing performance.  With just two approaches to examine at the start, various side-by-side comparisons can be more easily made and explained.  I have no current plans to offer any aiding illustrations in the totally free version(s) of my work, so begin by intellectually visualizing a single straight line.  Established at one end of this line is the proposition of fitting golf clubs to golfers based exclusively on Read the rest of this entry »
