Mack, OK. In the absence of a definition of 'mass' everything else is non-understandable. What is clear though is that the F = M x A equation does not operate like simple algebra: If 8 = 4 x 2 then if one increases 4 to 6 then 12 is not the answer. Least not for Mr. Newton. I think that I...

Mack, You have put a great deal of though, effort, and explanation into this for which I am greatly appreciative. I believe that we have both digressed somewhat from the question in hand namely: "Will adding weight to a 200g golf head increase distance assuming that the swing speed and...

I am amazed at the time, trouble and consideration invested in a stranger (or for science, or both) for which I am greatly appreciative. Unfortunately I could not open Confinement's attachment. I would very much like to see this and wonder if such could possibly be e-mailed to me please at...

mgb phys, REPLY TO YOUR FIRST POST: Thanks to you too for your input. The weight of a golf ball is 45.50g. I have provided the range of driver head weights. Drivers of course vary in weight. One of my typical driver's weight in total is approximately 370g. Such of course includes the...

Hello Confinement, Thanks for your input. Yes indeed, it is absolutely essential that golfers have a full follow through. But, I could not technically say why. The club head is reputed to slow down by approximately one third due to the collision. Research on work and power analysis...

Thanks A.T. After reading the above two links a line from a film immediately flashed into my fried brain: "What we have here is a failure to communicate." (Cool Hand Luke). The articles were written for scientists and, for a layman, as communicative as me speaking in Russian to a British...

I like this question as it appears to relate to my F = M x A question raised - golfer needs advice posting. As a non-scientist I did not appreciate the difference between speed and acceleration, nor do I still appreciate the significance of any difference with regard to my golf question. I...

I do not even have a schoolboy knowledge of physics and so I need help - preferably in simple terms please: I compete internationally in an extreme sport known as 'Long Drive Golf.' Essentially one succeeds by hitting a golf ball the longest distance. For many decades the manufacture of...
