Description for The Science of the Perfect Swing
Hardback. Based on three decades of experience in the physics of golf, Dewhurst examines topics such as the interaction between club face and ball, various aspects of trajectory and impact, and the physics of putting. Num Pages: 288 pages, 147 illustrations. BIC Classification: PDZ; PH; WSJG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 156. .
While golf has a popular following among casual fans, it has become popular among another passionate yet unlikely group: scientists. Beyond the caddies, carts, and clubs, the game of golf is an applied science. The seemingly simple act of striking a golf ball invokes a wide range of processes, including physics principles such as energy transfer, kinetics, launch angles, spin, and momentum. However, in spite of the growing interest in the fledgling field of golf science, few books thus far have provided a comprehensive introduction of the subject. In The Science of the Perfect ...
