The Physics of Golf – Theodore P. Jorgensen

Improve your golf game by learning the underlying fundamentals of the golf swing in this acclaimed, unique contribution to the sport. Finally, you’ll understand:

• why shortening your backswing doesn’t substantially decrease clubhead velocity
• what components contribute to the optimal swing and what variations are acceptable
• how and why properly shifting your weight adds to distance
• why a golf ball behaves and spins as it does and much more.

The Physics of Golf is written by a physicist after some twenty years of research, Physics of Golf is the only book devoted exclusively to explaining the science behind a successful golf game. Technical appendices offer details for the so inclined. The revised and expanded second now offers you:

-new material on high-tech club designs
-a complete new chapter on short putts
-additional applications of physics to the problems every player faces.
