Articles The Playability FactorIn a previous article I mentioned the 6 p's of golf... Practice, Play, Professional swing instruction, Positive attitude, being Properly fit, and Playing quality equipment. There is a 7th P...The Dynamic Playability Factor. What is the Clubhead's job?: be most solid on all hits What is the Golfshaft's job?To bring the clubhead into the best impact position with repeatable accuracy. All physical and dynamic shaft properties must work with the correct clubhead Playability Factor to Complement the individual golfer's swing. So.......The Best Clubhead for a Specific Golfer plus the Best Shaft for a Specific Golfer = DYNAMIC PLAYABILITY The Playability Factor? It is a method used to determine the playabilty of a clubhead by utilizing its Mass and Dimensonal properties. It is a guide to help Golfers select clubs that Complement their skills and desires, making Golf easier and more enjoyable for a lifetime. For Woods and Irons the Basic Parameters are...
For putters we use only the Moment of Inertia on 1 axis. Vertical Center of Gravity (VCG)The lower the VCG, you will get a more consistent trajectory, a more solid feel, and a higher playability factor. Horizontal Center of Gravity (HCG)The greater the HCG, you get a larger sweetspot, a more solid hit, and a greater moment of inertia, and a higher Playability factor. Rearward Center of Gravity (RCG)This rearward dimension has to do with hosel offset and its effect on dynamic loft which is the actual ball launch angle after impact. Moment of Inertia (MOI)The higher the MOI you will get more distance on off centered hits, more solid feel on off-center hits, better directional control on off-center hits and a higher Playability Factor. A golf club is more difficult to hit ..The stiffer the shaft, the less the loft, the longer the shaft, the higher the center of gravity, and the lower the moment of inertia. The Playability Factor is broken down into 6 categories..... |
