Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

>Andy John strips away decades of golf coaching folklore and replaces it with the real physics behind every shot. From the four-hundred-microsecond collision between club and ball, to the kinetic chain that generates clubhead speed, to the true mechanics of launch angle, spin, and distance.

Physics in Sport: Golf also takes the game's most repeated cliches such as "keep your head down", "hit down to get it up", "release the hands", "stay behind the ball" and tests them against real biomechanics and ball-flight data. You'll learn what these sayings are actually trying to fix, why taking them literally can wreck your swing, and what to focus on instead.

Whether you're a weekend golfer chasing lower scores, a coach looking for a scientific edge, or simply a curious mind fascinated by the physics of sport, this book turns confusing swing thoughts into clear, usable understanding - no physics degree required.

Inside you'll discover: - The real science of the club-ball collision and why it decides everything- How the kinetic chain builds clubhead speed from the ground up- The truth about launch angle, dynamic loft, and angle of attack- Why classic coaching cliches often mislead - and what actually works>Perfect for golfers, coaches, and science enthusiasts alike, Physics in Sport: Golf is the first book in the Physics in Sport series, bringing rigorous science to the sports we love - one physical force at a time.
