| 1855.1 | theta approx = 70� | NOVA::FINNERTY | Sell high, buy low | Thu Mar 17 1994 15:30 | 14 |
|
based on the assumptions in .0 and approximate measurements of club
length, etc., and my arm length, etc., I get an optimal theta of about
70�, or 110� for the complement of theta, which is the interior angle
formed between the shaft and your left forearm... assuming that it is
even *possible* to hold onto this angle and lower the right elbow low
enough (see .0).
if you don't hold on to the wrist angle, and let it flex out to
theta = 35�, then you lose 5% in clubhead speed, or about 12 yards on a
250 yard drive.
hmmmm...

See the ball, hit the ball.

re: if it's even *possible*
it isn't. so the rule of thumb is to keep your left hand as close to
your body at the point of impact as is practical... about a hand's
width away seems about right; (of course we all knew that to begin with.
Isn't math wonderful?) :) :)

| 1855.6 | use the force, Luke..... | NAVY5::SDANDREA | Plonker | Fri Mar 18 1994 09:42 | 6 |
| I'm just happy to keep the ball in the fairway......when I generate
more clubhead speed, I get alot more distance. Lord only knows where
the ball's going, tho.....
Steve (ever see a slice where the ball makes a 90 degree right turn and
then makes "the jump to hyperspace"?....I can *do* that!)

| 1855.7 | Huh ?? | RAYBOK::COOPER | One-ton Tomato ! | Fri Mar 18 1994 15:01 | 10 |
| So let me see if I've got this right. The theta of the beta must be
equal to the hypotenuse created by the flatulence of the wrist at
the point of impact as opposed to erradicating the effluvium during
the takeaway which cause a severe rotational displacement on the surface
of the ball which in turn creates a temporary conundrum through the
fabric of time. Therefore, assuming all forces are equal, The isolateral
distribution of the swingforce on the ball will result in a flight path
similar to a BANANA !!

You're not getting a bit mechanical lately, are you?
Just "Be the Ball". Whatever the heck that means...

I readily admit to a bad case of cabin fever, but all kidding aside, I
think that I learned a thing or two in the exercise. Make that
three things... #3 is, don't post it in the GOLF conference!!

Well, I was talking to him but decided he was too conventional. I
now mind meld with Mac O'grady while on the practice tee !!

| It's the long Winter that's getting on all of us.
Good news!!! I drove by Green Meadow today (usually first in NH to
open) and I saw a lot of grass.
Bad news... I also saw a LOT of snow and water...

A sure way to maximize distance/clubhead speed is to take
out your seven iron to lay up just short of the water.

| 1855.17 | | ODIXIE::RHARRIS | I am the NRA, for life! | Thu Mar 31 1994 17:30 | 5 |
| If the water is frozen, punch a 3 iron and roll over the water. That's
what I do.

| Sounds good to me. Actually, I am so desperate to play that I'd be out
there in a second if the course was open. Last year I played Green M.
when it opened and it was hysterical. No roll at all. In fact, a lot
of shots just got plugged or buried in the ground.
|
| 1855.19 | coming around again | ATEIS::MILLER | | Thu Mar 31 1994 18:16 | 3 |
|
Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is
actually the beginning of the next group of three.

| Re: .15, .18
This morning I stopped in at the Daily Grind ( coffee shop across from
Green Meadow ) heard that said that the groundskeeper hopes to have at least
9 holes open this weekend. The driving range has been open since Wednesday.
