The critically
important waggle weight specification, a
derivative of the already long-proven golf club specification of
swingweight,
actually deciphers golfer fulcrum point location instead of just
blindly using
the one-size-fits-all, fourteen-inch dimension that has become
synonymous with
swingweighting. Not previously implemented because of a widespread
misunderstanding
of swingweight and what it attempts to accomplish, the eighty-year-old
swingweighting specification can be a rather poor fit for a
considerable number
of golfers. But in using the more advanced waggle weight specification,
golfers' clubs can feel more consistent at the moment each swing
starts,
putting golfers on a more equal level with those in other activities
who repeatedly
use the exact same equipment.
According
to
WaggleWeight Company
president Bill Kostuj, "Providing an ill-fitting fulcrum point location
to balance a
golfer's clubs around is comparable to providing a baseball pitcher
with a
different
weight baseball every time he is about to throw a pitch and then
questioning
why he does not perform as well as when each ball is the same weight.
Both the
pitching motion and the corresponding pitch results can be expected to
be quite
inconsistent with a constant switching of baseball weights. When
golfing, not only
can one's ball contact and travel results be less consistent if the
waggle
weight golf club specification is not used, but one can also easily
begin to
believe that his underlying golf
swing is inadequate and less developed than it really is. The
foundational
waggle weight specification is about as basic to playing good golf as
breathing
is to living."
The WaggleWeight Company is
presently open to discussions
with others that may want to be involved with the waggle weighting of
golf
clubs by way of licensing, purchasing, and/or investing in various
aspects of
the technology. The most authoritative source for finding anyone else
that may
become authorized to apply waggle weighting is through the company's
own Waggle
Weight Wisdom™ instructional website at

United States
Patent Number 7,509,842 covers the general
method for determining a golf club waggle weight specification value
and making
a golf club with the determined value, while Patent Number 7,509,843
covers the
waggle weight scale, an improvement over the swingweight scale. Other
features
of waggle weighting are still patent pending in the US. Waggle weight
is also patent pending in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
The
company has also recently secured patent pending status
for technology it feels may be even more important to golf's future
than waggle
weighting. This newer intellectual property utilizes the unusual
gripping
method used in golf (usually an overlapping or interlocking of the
hands) for
the purpose it is truly intended for, that of performing
one's true golf swing using only the limbs of one's body, without the
need
for any inherently inconsistent golf clubs. A highly advantageous and
virtually
necessary process due to the constant switching between different clubs
in the
normal course of golfing, the limb-only swing is used as one's root
golf swing
for purposes of golf grip/swing development and to reference against
when fitting
golf clubs to one's root swing.
