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.

  • 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.

  • Better Scoring Through Proper Gapping of Your Wedges Ever
    Better Scoring Through Proper Gapping of Your Wedges Ever wonder why you have awkward distances in your approach shots with your wedges? This month's article from our professional instructional staff answers that question by explaining what gapping your wedges means and providing suggestions for remedying your problems. Fine tune your wedge set with proper knowledge of how your wedges work! To understand gapping, one must first understand loft, the angle that the clubface is set back from the vertical shaft. The progression of lofts throughout a set of irons creates a corresponding progression of distances that each iron will hit the ball. This is referred to as gapping. As late as 2000, the standard loft of a pitching wedge was 48 degrees; the 9 iron was 44 degrees; and the rest of the set proceeded at gaps of 4 degrees. As shown in the chart below, the sand wedge was 56 degrees, allowing for a gap wedge to be inserted at 52 degrees. The result was a perfectly spaced 4-degree gap between loft of wedges and a natural progression of distances for the golfer. Before 2016 (Alternative 1) 2016 (Alternative 2) 2016 (Alternative 3) 2000 9 Iron 44 40 40 40 PW 48 44 44 44 Super Gap 48 Gap Wedge 52 50 48 52 Sand Wedge 56 56 54 56 Lob Wedge 60 60 58 60 In the last decade and a half, however, manufacturers have responded to the golfer's demand for distance by improving clubface design AND de-lofting of clubs of all sets but in particular the mid-level game improvement sets that most players use.

  • Elite Insider Circle Monthly Handicap Improver September 2016
    Elite Insider Circle Monthly Handicap Improver September 2016 Hello Fellow Golf Enthusiast, This is Jaacob Bowden. Last Month To recap last month, we had a piece from golf expert Adam Young called “Take Control of Your Game” in which he talked about his teaching process and how he helps students learn how to rectify problems without him even being there. We had a Long Drive Q&A with 4-time World Long Drive Champion Sandra Carlborg of Sweden. Some of the things I think that are worth pointing out about Sandra’s Q&A are: • She tests drivers using a Flightscope launch monitor to help dial in her equipment for maximum distance. • She has swung 117.5 mph in the World Championships. To remind you and give you some perspective on that…male amateurs and LPGA players average around 93 mph and PGA TOUR players average around 113 mph. So as you can see, club head speed is very important for distance. • She spends time in the gym to improve her body’s ability to swing. We see this over and over in these Long Drive Q&A’s. No long hitter of this caliber swings this fast naturally. They all work on their bodies. Fortunately, this is something you can do too at any age or skill level. I talked about my in-person experiences and observations attending this year’s PGA Championship at Baltusrol in New Jersey. From a handicap improving standpoint, a couple of the key things that I was reminded of are: • Lots of different swing styles and techniques can be effective on a global level, even if they aren’t the most optimal.

  • Computer Aided Sand Wedge Shape Assessment by Using Particle Simulation
    Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements XII 281 Computer aided sand wedge shape assessment by using particle simulation T. Koizumi, N. Tsujiuchi, H. Horii, M. Miki & J. Hidaka Doshisha University, Japan Abstract In this research, a computational simulation model of a bunker shot for assessing sand wedge shapes is constructed using the particle element method, PEM. The PEM is one particle simulation method which simulates particle phenomenon by tracing the motion of all particles and calculating the interaction among them. The simulation model is composed of a club head, a golf ball and a large number of particles of sand. Firstly, the reproducibility of the simulation model was verified by comparison with actual bunker shots which were observed using a high speed video camera, then the simulation results gave good agreement with the observa- tional results. Secondly, the simulation model was applied for assessing the prop- erty of a new special sand wedge which had a hollow processed on the sole, then the feature of the wedge and its cause were revealed. This simulation model pro- vides numerical understanding of the property of sand wedges and reasons why the effective property occurs. 1 Introduction As rapidly enlargement of the performance of computer and the computer aided engineering, CAE, computational simulation has been used for design and devel- opment of golf equipments, such as clubs and balls. Ordinary clubs, such as woods and irons, have been assessed by computational simulation models constructed by using the finite element method, FEM, handled as collision of a club head and a ball [1]. However, the sand wedges have been done by designers’ and players’ empirical intuition and trial-and-error, because of the difficulty of simulation mod- eling of the bunker shot.
