I am an obsessed golfer. When I retired as a Consulting Engineer about 15 years ago I started playing 3 times a week. I was able to get to a 9 handicap after a few years and then my obsession was redirected to the physics of the swing and why professionals can hit the ball so far and so accurately. This led me to building a computer model of the golf swing which I have been using to understand how and why the swing works. After 7 or 8 years, I believe I have found a number of new physics effects that can fully explain how the swing works and, among other things, why golf robots do not test clubs correctly.

I am currently writing a new book, which I expect to finish in a few months. I am also rebuilding my own swing to comply with the physics I have learned. Just as mygolfspy is passionate about honesty in golf equipment marketing, I am passionate about ensuring I get the physics correct and that biomechanics can execute the physics. There is so much instructional advice on the web that we don't know what is correct and what is not. I want to help change these perceptions by understanding the fundamental physics.

Before I finish and release the book, I would like to see some discussion about the first and most important of these physics actions. I have called it the RYKE effect. I looked at the other golf forums and it was obvious that mygolfspy was the right place to get honest and open discussion from real golfers

I will post a new forum topic called "The RYKE effect" in a few days.

 

I hope the mygolfspy community can help me to describe the physics so that all golfers can understand these new concepts.

Welcome Kevin. Really looking forward to your book and great discussions, if you can stand a chemist! Should have a lot of interest with the folks here on MGS!

Good to see a number of other Aussies in the field. Thanks for the welcome from all of you. I feel comfortable already. 

I am hoping to post tomorrow. A couple of small details to fix.
