Synopsis
Improve your golf game by learning the underlying fundamentals of the golf swing in this acclaimed, unique contribution to the sport. Finally, you’ll understand:
- why shortening your backswing doesn’t substantially decrease clubhead velocity
- what components contribute to the optimal swing and what variations are acceptable
- how and why properly shifting your weight adds to distance
- why a golf ball behaves and spins as it does
and much more.
Written by a physicist after some twenty years of research, Physics of Golf is the only book devoted exclusively to explaining the science behind a successful golf game. Technical appendices offer details for the so inclined. The revised and expanded second now offers you:
- -new material on high-tech club designs
- -a complete new chapter on short putts
- -additional applications of physics to the problems every player faces.

But first word or last, for anyone who has swung a golf club, the book is fun to read." -Physics Today
