The Lab

[Yoda]

This topic was originally about Physics, and we started with MASS. We got into Extensor Action, and a few ather things along the way. Extensor Action does, however, help give more MASS. "This relives the Wrists of considerable responsibility and gives this drive a much more massive kind of support while freeing the Wrists for a sharper focus on Ball Control." 6-B-1-D

The next thing was SPACE... MASS, SPACE, TIME, ENERGY

SPACE is measured in terms of DISTANCE(inches, millimeters, etc.)

I'll start... At what point does the added advantage of a longer club (bigger arc) become a disadvantage for increasing the distance of a drive?

There is obviously a point where the club becomes too heavy(45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50"...)? There was a guy on the Senior Tour that used a very long driver.

Okay, guys. It is apparent we need a new section on the Forum: The Lab.

Here we can discuss topics that would challenge Einstein and bring a tear to Stephen Hawking's eye. Ideally, we will keep in mind that we are a Forum inhabited by Golfers, but other than that minimal constraint, this will be a no-holds-barred Geek Stronghold. Frontier subjects such as kinesiology; the wonders of how we learn; and even Higher Mathematics And The Cure For The Common Slice will be daily grist for our mill.

Professor Hawking -- Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University and author of the popular best-seller A Brief History of Time (198 and most recently, The Universe In A Nutshell, would be particularly proud of our 'no boundaries' charter:

"My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all."



This is the kind of thinking that packed the lecture hall at the 17th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation last year in Dublin. Move over people. You ain't seen nut'in yet!

Meanwhile, the 'rest of us' are invited to join me tomorrow in The Clubhouse Lounge. I've got a story or two to tell you about Rocky Thompson, that long-driving senior Lagster referred to above. You see, it all started with the Killer Bee Driver...
