[12 piece bucket]

The golf club is an implement that has a weight on the end of a stick (shaft). The weight on the end of the stick is heavier than the stick. Whenever such an implement is thrown "end over end", the lighter shaft must revolve around the heavier weight on the end -- i.e., the heavier weight on the end becomes the center or axis of rotation. A hatchet is an example. 12 Piece's 9 iron flying through the air as punishment for hitting an "air ball" on the 17th at Sawgrass is another (sorry, 12 Piece)

When -- as with a golf club -- the center of gravity of the heavier end weight is offset from the center of gravity of the lighter stick, then the longitudanal center of gravity of the stick must also revolve around the longitudanal center of gravity of the heavier end-weight whenever the implement is rotated around its longitudanal axis.


As to your observation about "clubshaft" vs. "club shaft", my vote is for typographical error.

RWH,

Why why why? First of all . . . I do not chuck clubs. I'm way too much of a cheap b@stard for that. And second I would never be at 17 at Sawgrass because they won't let you wear no tank top over yonder.

Now . . . as far as my blood-thirst for revenge. I ain't gonna breakout the mama cracks since you have been generous in helping me out with that tip on stickin' your hand out the car window like the Green Hornet or something.

Also, nice post by the way. Love the hatchet example. Think you should have used a dagger though . . .SINCE YOU ARE THROWIN' 'EM AT MY BACK!!!

I know the golf club would fly end over end, but wonder would the clubshaft now rotate around the sweetspot too? It would be cool to watch this phenomenon in in SLOOOW MO.

RWH . . . AFTER CLASS!!!
