How A Golf Club Head Design >>> Comes To Life!

Inside Look At Golf Club Design

 

I thought you guys might like to see these drawings of a golf club design in development. A golf club design can come to life in many different ways. Some companies start with what they think will function the best and then design the graphics around that head. They are thinking performance first and looks second. For instance Mizuno tends to design their iron functionality first and then once they get a incredible performing head that has all the right properties to assist the golfer they then figure out a way to make it look appealing.

I guess from a business approach, it makes sense to have it look good to catch the eye of the consumer. Cool progression of drawings, but it left me a bit depressed. I guess that I always assumed function would be first in a piece of sports equipment. Or at least the form side would be more overt. In the shop you can buy lots of golfballs with crazy printing. From money to soccer ball designs. I would never think that the ball was intended for real play. I would work, but the intention is appearing a certain way. Sitting in on the engineer vs. designer meetings would be quite entertaining I bet.

That's really neat how the final design is so much different from some of the beginning and intermediate designs.

Form over function? Now you've conceptualized for me why I love Ping so much and Taylormade... not so much.
