Why do golf bags have 14 slots plus slot for putter?

Monday, January 19th, 2009

If we can only legally carry 14 clubs during a round, why do they make golf bags with 14 slots for clubs and a side container for the putter?

many ameuters like to carry more than one driver, or maybe even like a 7 or 9 wood, it really makes no difference unless your ina tournament how many clubs you have unless your playling with people who are rule consious

What length golf putter should I buy for my 5 foot (zero inches) tall girlfriend?

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Thanks, but I don't require advise to consult a pro shop. Please only answer if you have an actual answer (in inches!). This is a beginner golfer.

32 inches

What is the best brand of golf putter?

Monday, January 5th, 2009


Scotty Cameron is probably the putter that is most consistently named as an answer to this question right now. Lots of tour players playing them this year. A couple other hot names are Odyssey and White Hot.

That said, it really only matters what feels best to you. Drivers and putters are the two clubs that are most personal to a golfer. If you don't feel comfortable and confident with the club in your hand, it's not worth a dime.

See if you can find a local pro shop or sporting goods store that will let you demo their clubs, and try as many as you can! Concentrate on the weight and feel, the sound and feedback at impact, and of course how well the ball responds to your putting action.

The main differences:

Length of shaft - do you prefer a traditional length, or the longer "belly" putters?

Blade vs Mallet - most models are being produced in both a narrow blade format as well as the thicker mallet style. See which one you respond best to.

How much force would someone (putter) transfer to a golf ball after a 20 degree backswing?

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Ok, I believe this is a solvable problem, relating to pedulum, collision, and conservation of energy problems. This is what I have so far:

Length of putter=.9144m (Do you think this measurement is sufficient or do I need to measure all the way to between the golfers shoulders?)

Mass of putter head=.45kg (Do you think I'd need to know the mass of the arms of the golfer and putter shaft too?

Height (h) putter raised for 20 deg. backswing= L-Lcos20 =.0551m

gravity= 9.8 m/s^2

PE=h*g*m

Velocity: PE + KE (top of backswing) = PE' + KE' (bottom or vertical part of the swing where impacts golf ball)

(.0551)(9.8m/s^2)(.45kg) + 0 = 0 + 1/2(.45kg)v^2
v = 1.04m/s

Impulse time between putter and golf ball= .005s

At this point, I can't figure out how to derive the amount of force the putter (swinging at 1.04m/s) will transfer to the golf ball (after impulse of .005s).

I believe I'd have to do something with the kinetic energy of the putter, impulse time, & F=m*a

Thnx

I guess it depens on how you put, if you break your wrists and keep your arms still ,then you are OK, if you are swinging at the shoulders, then you need the longer measurement.

Ultimately you are looking for the height of the putter head at max swing (assuming you use no mucles, which alas I think is an invalid assumption)

Ounce you have the height, you can calculate the energy of the club head (E=hmg) and then speed at the bottom (E=1/2mv^2)

Then you need to do a colision calcualtion to compute the amount of energy trasmited to the ball.

You will get a system of 2 eq. & 2 unknowns:
Mgolfball*Vgolfball+Mclub*Vclub=Vswing*Mclub (conservation momentum)
Mgolfball*Vgolfball^2+Mclub*Vclub^2=Vswing^2*Mclub (conservation Energy)

Onve you know the final vel of the ball or club, then you can calcualte the force as follows:
Change in vel/impulse time=Accel
Accel * Mass =Force

What would you use to replace a broken putter during a round of golf?

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

I've been playing Tiger Woods 09. When a character makes a bad shot, they will sometimes throw a tantrum and break their club. This happens most often with a putter.

According to the USGA Rules of Golf, an intentionally damaged club cannot be replaced during a round.

My question: If you just broke your putter during a tournament, what club out of those remaining in your bag would you use to putt?

bellied sand wedge the extra bounce does make it easier to putt. reason for this more sole weight. Great club to practise putting with. beats majority training aids .

Does Carbon speed its way to the front of the pack, or simply putter behind its next-gen counterparts?
