  • Why Most Greens Are Mowed By
    Why most greens are mowed by The most rigid and exacting standards of performance are set by the Jacobsen Greens Mower. That's why most cham- pionship courses also insist on Jacobsen. The Jacobsen Greens Mower shears every blade of grass cleanly, precisely, to the exact height desired, from 3/16- inch to lVs-inch. The weight of the unit is evenly distributed and balanced. This exacting weight arrangement assures smoother, more accurate cutting. And the resulting low center of gravity means easier handling in tight turns off the green. The Jacobsen Greens Mower treats golf greens and course maintenance budgets with tender care. You get the smoothest putting surface possible to obtain, plus longer life, lower operating costs and trouble-free performance. Want to know more?

  • 2200 Year Old Mathematical Theory Combines with Space Age Computer ® Design and CNC Manufacturing to Produce the Putting Arc
    2200 year old mathematical theory combines with space age computer ® design and CNC manufacturing to produce The Putting Arc . Now you can feel, see and learn the Perfect Putting Stroke. Learn the 'arc type' stroke used by the vast majority of the modern day touring pros. For a 'Quick Start' and simple instructions, go to the back page. The Putting Arc works because… 1. It is based on a natural body movement which can be quickly learned and repeated. Results can be seen in several days ... thousands of repetitions are not required. 2. The clubhead travels in a perfect circle of radius R, on an inclined plane. The projection (or shadow) of this circle on the ground is a curved line called an ellipse, and this is the curve found on The Putting Arc . 3. The putter is always on plane (the sweet spot/spinal pivot plane). The intersection of this plane with the ground is a straight line, the ball/target line. (See Iron Archie - page 11) 4. The clubface is always square to the above plane. It is only square to the ball/target line at the center line on The Putting Arc . You are learning an inside to square to inside putting stroke. (See Iron Archie - page 11) 5. The lines on the top of The Putting Arc show the correct club face angle throughout the stroke, including a square initial alignment. This concept is as important as the arc itself , and it is a patented feature of The Putting Arc . 6. In this perfect putting stroke, there is only one moving part.

THE GOLFER'S PRACTICE PLAN: DRILLS AND INSIGHT TO SLASH YOUR SCORES First edition. January 1, 2019. Copyright © 2021 Imagen Golf. www.ImagenGolf.com Dedicated to my son: I never enjoy the game as much as the rounds we play together! www.ImagenGolf.com Introduction: Why Practice? Golf is a fickle game. It’s based on such a simple principle; simply hole out in as few strokes as possible, but unfortunately, this is much harder than it sounds? So what makes this game so difficult? From my experience, the more I play this game the more I realize that golf’s difficulty comes from the scale of movements and mis-movements that a player makes. While you might think you made the same swing you normally do, a couple millimeters of change above, below, left, or right of the ball at contact can completely change the outcome of your shot. Similarly, two or three degrees of adjustment in how the club strikes the ball can be the difference between your shot flying down the fairway or slicing into the water. This required level of precision, in my opinion, is frustrating for a lot of golfers and is the single biggest limitation of a player’s improvement. Although these small physical changes in each swing dramatically affect your round, this really is what makes the game fun and satisfying to play at a high level.

  • Measure Your Wedges for More Consistency
    Measure your wedges for more consistency In all my years teaching I have seen many golfers improve their ball striking and consistency off the tee and in the fairway. In most cases however, they haven’t been able to substantially decrease their handicap due to inconsistency from within 100 yards. Since we are only required to hit 36 shots in one round of golf, over 90% of the shots taken over 36 occur within 100 yards of the green. Here are some techniques that have helped many of my students in the past few years become better and more consistent around the green. First we have to learn how to make three different length golf swings with each wedge. These swings are simply described as the ½, ¾, and full swing. Naturally the ½ half swing should feel as if you have only rotated half way back and through the ball. To check your positions, ensure that the left arm stops when it reaches a position parallel to the ground in the back swing and the right arm parallel to the ground at the end of your follow through. The three quarter swing should feel about 75 percent of the length of your full swing. Picturing a clock, your left arm would rotate back to point at 10 o’clock to complete your back swing. The follow through for this swing stops when your right arm would point to 2 o’clock. Naturally your full swing feels as if you complete the rotation back and through as if you were hitting a mid iron.

  • Golf Club Prototyping and Design for Spin Rate Tuning
    GOLF CLUB PROTOTYPING AND DESIGN FOR SPIN RATE TUNING A Senior Project submitted to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Mechanical Engineering by Cole Nygren, Jordan Wright, Jesse Yap June 2017 ABSTRACT Golf Club Prototyping and Design for Spin Rate Tuning Cole Nygren, Jordan Wright, Jesse Yap The aim of this project was to design a golf wedge capable of increasing backspin for the amateur golfer. This was accomplished by embedding a metal lattice structure behind the clubface to allow the face to elastically deform slightly upon impact. This would increase contact time between the club and ball. The mechanism of spin generation was discussed and the relationship between contact time and spin rate was established. The design was enabled by using additive manufacturing, which allowed for the generation of a metal lattice structure. An appropriate control and prototype were designed to minimize run time and material usage due to limited machine capacity. Various lattice topologies were generated and analyzed with finite element analysis. Design validation build in plastic revealed that these were not feasible due to support material generation, so X topology was used instead. After printing, player testing was conducted. The prototype design underwent plastic deformation during testing, and resulted in a significantly lower spin rate than the control. The design outlined in the report is not recommended unless changes to prevent plastic deformation are made and more testing is performed. Economic justification for the production of additive manufacturing golf club designs is made in case future designs prove viable.
