Yes we're in the middle of winter, but it's never too soon to be
thinking about how to improve your golf game. As our focus is sports
technology, we've found a golf club that uses the principles of physics
to improve your game.
As you can see in the photo, the golf club has a tiny wheel inside of it. I’m not really certain what powers it, but this wheel can spin at a dizzying speed of 20,000 rpm. The spinning motion allows the user to “feel” the correct shot.
How can this work? Some of you might remember a little experiment that you did in a high school or college physics lab where you spun a bicycle wheel, and then you could miraculously balance the axle end on the side of a desk, as long as the wheel was spinning. OK, maybe you just copied it from the smart kid in class, but you get the idea.
In short, spinning a wheel within a golf club removes any shaky movements that the golfer can unintentionally put on it. The result is a smoother swing that will strike the ball at a correct angle.
Don't know if it will work,yet. But will certainly give it a try. If you want to try it out it can be purchased on the SKLZ website for about $200.
