Better Golf Daily: Science of Golf - The Physics of Impact

Part 1 of 5 in our Science of the Swing series, inspired by the book The Science of Golf by Will Haskett. There's a moment in your golf swing that lasts less than half a millisecond, and it decides everything about where your ball ends up. Today we break down what's actually happening at impact, why chasing clubhead speed can be the wrong move, and the one number that separates a bomber from someone who just swings hard. You've probably mishit a shot and had it curve in some strange direction you didn't expect. That's not bad luck, that's a real thing called gear effect, and once you understand it, your misses start making a lot more sense. Tune in for the physics that actually moves your golf ball.
