Waggle Weight Wisdom™

The specific testing about to be described will deal with determining any given golfer’s best golf grip size for any given golf club.  Because the grip comprises the only direct physical contact between a golfer and a golf club, the specification of grip size is one of the most important parameters to get right in the pursuit of one’s best performance (in any activity [not just golf] where equipment is used in performing and grip sizing of the equipment is a specification allowed to be varied by performers).  Actually, while the term “grip size” is the common name given to this golf club specification, you will learn through this testing approach that Read the rest of this entry »

Most of you have probably heard of the expression the “terrible twos,” which generally refers to the approximate age of children when they begin to feel and express some independence.  This might often be done in defiant ways, by saying “No” at every opportunity and/or learning to try to manipulate people through temper tantrums as examples.  While a very normal stage of human development, many parents dread the thought of trying to get through this stage of life with a child, with actions and emotions that can range from trying to prepare in advance for this often-termed dreaded phase to being in denial that one’s child could ever behave in such a manner.

In this case I am not referring to the chronological age of someone or something, but rather to the number of Read the rest of this entry »

One question often asked over and over again when it comes to procedural matters in golf club fitting can be paraphrased something like, “What is the best scientific way to fit this or that particular golf club specification, or do I just have to use trial and error?”  Another version of the same inquiry is similar to, “Is there not a more scientific way to determine this or that golf club specification for my customers or me, or am I just stuck with using trial and error?”

The answers given to such inquiries often include examples such as the infamous grip-on-a-stick method of fitting golf grip size, where this method might be touted as being based on pure scientific principles.  Contrarily, it might be touted that choosing one’s grip size by swinging various golf clubs with varying grip sizes on them is Read the rest of this entry »

Before evaluating certain individual golf club specifications and how go about choosing a best value for a golfer, there are a few universal concepts that need to be understood and applied well throughout the clubfitting process.  Once these concepts are comprehended correctly, many golfers, clubfitters, teachers, and others will be enlightened to such a degree that their skill(s) regarding clubfitting will be greatly improved even before any individual club specifications are discussed.  Consequently, understanding these universal concepts well is very critical to knowing clubfitting well.

The first of these concepts centers on Read the rest of this entry »

If limb-only swinging is not applied and if one’s golf swing develops or changes around the use of a real, poorly fitted golf club(s), then bad swing habits can develop.  Still, this may not be as disadvantageous as it seems toward developing one’s overall golfing talent.  Read the rest of this entry »

When I previously addressed this topic, it was written from the perspective of how poor the golf clubfitting trade generally is.  In summary, I stated that custom clubfitting is an extremely important part of playing golf consistently well (the second most important part after swinging well) that can benefit every golfer by paying attention to the details of the equipment one uses and applying such details to one’s swing performance and golf ball travel, but that the clubfitting industry should generally be avoided at this point in time.  Several specific reasons for why this should be were given that mainly centered around Read the rest of this entry »

The second highly critical element to review before embarking on some new clubfitting material is the extreme importance of making a distinct separation between the quality of swing performance and Read the rest of this entry »

It is now time to publish some corrected fundamentals of golf club fitting theory and practice that have previously been poorly taught, understood, and applied and that have substantially contributed to essentially no improvement in golf scores for decades now.  But first I will review a couple of prerequisites disclosed in Waggle Weight Wisdom™ thus far and that need to be thoroughly understood before continuing.

With respect to analyzing and/or working on one’s swing, one’s base golf swing should never Read the rest of this entry »

While intently focused on revealing Decoding One’s True Golf Swing DNA (critical to understanding what follows), the namesake of the WaggleWeight™ Company has been essentially ignored lately.  But two US patents have recently been issued for the advanced golf club specification of waggle weight, which improves and solidifies the foundation of a concept initiated by Read the rest of this entry »

I can always revisit part or all of this topic at some point, but Decoding One’s True Golf Swing DNA comes to an end for now with this post.  I have revealed critical relationships previously undisclosed and established foundational golf swing elements that need to be understood before being able to correctly understand many clubfitting aspects that follow.  From some of my remaining notes I conclude this subject with the following comments.
