In my next post I will finally begin some genuine golf instruction, which I am really looking forward to. I guarantee I will be revealing aspects not disclosed adequately before (if at all). This includes my first topic of the golf grip, explaining the real reason behind overlapping or interlocking one’s hands together when golfing while it is not so advantageous to do so in other activities. If you are convinced
Before embarking on some golf swing and equipment fitting concepts and instruction that will forever change the way these two aspects are viewed, I want to reiterate here a little of the paradox currently existing in the golf industry. While golf itself might be thought of as one of the oldest games on the planet, the clubfitting industry is actually
I assume that most clubfitting educators are hard working, believe in what they teach, and are honest about what they choose to reveal. After all, most if not all people that declare such information have other direct or indirect business interests associated with what they disclose (I am no exception), so logically the quality of disclosed fitting information will affect those other interests. But in the end it is what it is, and what it is right now is unfortunately pretty bad clubfitting theory and practice.
Here I will specify and elaborate a bit more about exactly what parts of previously taught clubfitting information are good and/or available and what parts are quite poor and/or missing. One universal statement that can be made about the current clubfitting industry is
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.
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,
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
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
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
It should hopefully be realized by now that the only truly legitimate way of fitting clubs in a proficient manner is by
