The Science Of The Perfect Swing
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Advance praise from the technical golf community for The Science of the Perfect Swing is shown in the Editorial Review section below.The major task in writing The Science of the Perfect Swing was the simplification of the engineering science so that it could be readily understood. The primary objective was to allow inquisitive golfers to gain a deeper understanding of all aspects of the sport from ball striking and ball flight through to the capture of the ball in the hole. Such knowledge provides a firm foundation for performance improvements. It also allows a greater appreciation of the performance of Tour professionals on which many of the case studies are based. Rich in illustrations, graphs, and charts, The Science of the Perfect Swing strikes a perfect balance between golf science and a descriptive form that will appeal to golf enthusiasts and general readers of sports science, as well as to the golf science community. Some harder science is necessary for the work to have credibility in the science world, but this is corralled into smaller separated sections where it can be browsed or skipped without any loss of understanding of the fundamental principles of the game.

So I once went on a golf forum and asked if anyone knew whether if the club was accerating when it hit the ball it imparted more velocity then if the acceleration had peaked. The answer was, "I just hit 'em, find 'em, and hit 'em again.". i.e. physics questions not wanted here. But physics is what determines whether the ball goes straight and far. Period. Well, if you like physics, or even if you just don't mind it too much, this book will help your game. Now much of it is very very cerebral and only interesting from an intellectual point of view. You can skip those parts. But lots of it is directly convertible into how you swing. One item in particular increased distance and accuracy for me quite a lot. I won't publish that here because the author deserves to be paid for his insights.

Detailed look into the science behind the golf swing. Contains numerous diagrams and charts. If you are looking for the standard golf tips publication this is not it. If you're looking for a detailed understanding of the dynamics that drive the golf swing this is a real treat. Shows numerous comparisons between professional and amateur swings. While it does contain abundant detailed scientific analysis author summarizes key points for the average person to understand. Very unique publication.

Excellent book on the physics and research that underlie the "attempts to put an elusive ball into an obscure hole with implements ill-adapted to the purpose."

very good

unfortunately not what I expected,way over my head. therefore it's kinda boring
