This book is unique in the golf industry and we are confident that in time, it will become an essential reference work for future researchers and teachers in the basics of golf. No previous work approximates the content of this book.

The book confirms much of what golfers know, adds much previously unknown information and provides an analysis of all that happens from impact until the ball stops. The foundation of this book is experimental and theoretical research carried out over the last 10 years by 2 aerospace engineers in a full-time, dedicated research effort.
