Golf Cart Lift Kits

by Chuck Brusser

Golf cart lift kits are a way to add some height as well as improved suspension to your existing golf cart. There are several different manufacturers and types of golf cart lift kits. In order to determine which golf cart lift kit is right for your model of golf cart, you should locate some kind of chart or tool that lists models of golf carts and the golf cart lift kits that are compatible with each model.

There are golf cart lift kits made by the same manufacturers as popular golf cart brands. This may be the best option for choosing the right golf cart lift kits. Golf cart lift kits made by the manufacturer are a nice option because of a few reasons.

For one, golf cart lift kits made by golf cart manufacturers are much likelier to fit your golf cart precisely. An exact match of parts is important in adding golf cart lift kits to existing golf carts. By ordering golf cart lift kits directly from the manufacturer, you can avoid the problems associated with trying to affix generic golf cart lift kits.

Also, there is some question as to the quality of the parts of golf cart lift kits that are manufactured by competing golf car lift kit manufacturers. For the most part, golf cart lift kits made by golf cart manufacturers are the most likely to be of superior construction.

After all, a reputable golf cart manufacturer has the greatest incentive not to harm an existing golf cart or design with the addition of a lift kit. For this reason, it seems reasonable to assume that golf cart lift kits from these most reputable golf cart manufacturers will be the most likely to last.

However, particularly if youre on a budget, there are many golf cart lift kits made by competitors whom do not manufacture golf carts, that are every bit as durable and well made. Its just that without performing some additional research, it is difficult to determine which lift kit companies are the better suppliers.

If you dont have the time nor want to spend the extra effort, it may be best to opt for a lift kit from a leading golf cart manufacturer. Another one of the pros of going with a lesser known golf cart lift kit, though, is the fact that huge name brand golf cart lift kits are going to cost quite a bit more.

Do some research online. There are many golf-related online communities where you can hear about other peoples experiences with their golf carts and lift kits. If you decide that one of the lesser known golf cart lift kits will meet your needs, take your time shopping around on the internet to find the best deal.

Chuck works as a golf cart technician for various country clubs around his home. For his work, he finds it advantageous to keep a notebook on the common problems and fixes of the various brands and models that he works on. At http://www.allsportnews.com , he makes this information open to the public to facilitate the evaluation of the different models of used golf carts.

The follow-through is the result of the prior body movements. After impact it's just a matter of releasing all tension and letting centrifugal force finish your swing. Centrifugal force will keep the clubface travel and clubface angle in the proper position. After the ball leaves the clubface there is nothing you can do that will affect the flight of the ball.

Handle Leads Hands
The body should continue to move the arms through impact and into the finish. Don't allow the clubhead to pass the handle of the club until well past impact.

Controlling the Course
In order to play the course well, you need to control the ball, it's a vicious circle. Control the ball, control the club, the body must be doing the right thing, the mind must be at ease and then you can control the course. We get two types of golfers at our school. Those who hit there ball and follow it around the golf course and it leads them on a very merry chase, and those who actually pick a target and direct, not steer, their golf ball toward the target. Basically, golfers swing different, but they all play the same. It's just a different target that they're playing to, a very long hitter is picking one out at 300 yards, a shorter hitter maybe picking one at 125 yards, but everybody needs to pick targets and break the course up into manageable bits of real estate. Very much like you'd cut your steak at night, you cut it in size bits that you're comfortable chewing and that's the way you have to chew up the golf course. So learn to control the golf ball, if you can control the ball, you must be controlling the club. If you're controlling the club, your body must be doing the right thing. If your body is doing the right thing then the minds probably in the right place and has been programmed correctly. Then, and only then, do you have any chance of controlling the golf course.

Golf Balls -- The Science Behind The Dimples

by Susan Chiang

The dynamics behind the flight of the golf ball offers a fascinating insight into the physical interworkings of air pressure, turbulence, and aerodynamics.
When golf was first played in Scotland, most players played using clumsy golf apparatus, with the first golf clubs and golf balls made of wood.

In 1618 the "Featherie" was introduced. It was a golf ball made of feather. This feather golf ball was handcrafted from goose feathers tightly pressed into a horse or cowhide sphere while still wet. After drying, the leather shrank and the feathers expanded, creating a hardened golf ball.

As this type of golf ball was specially handcrafted, it was usually more expensive than golf clubs, so that only a few privileged people could afford to play golf back then.

After the Featherie golf ball came the Guttie golf ball. This type of golf ball was made from the rubber-like sap of the Gutta tree found in the tropics, and was shaped into a sphere when hot and eventually into a golf ball. As it was made of rubber, the Guttie golf ball could be cheaply produced and easily repaired by reheating and reshaping.

Comparing the two types of golf balls, the Featherie golf ball was said to travel farther than the Guttie golf ball because the Guttie golf ball's smooth surface prevented it from covering more distance.

With this discovery, the developers of golf balls came up with the "dimpled" golf balls that are so predominant in modern golf nowadays.

The dimples on the golf balls help reduce the aerodynamic drag. Aerodynamic drag normally affects smooth golf balls and slows them down, because when they sail through the air, they leave a pocket of low-pressure air in its stir thus creating a drag.

By applying dimples to the golf ball surface, the pressure differential goes down and the drag force is reduced. These dimples create turbulence in the air surrounding the golf ball, which, in turn, forces the air to clasp the golf ball more closely. By doing so, the air trails the warp created by the golf ball towards the back instead of flowing past it. This results in a smaller wake and lesser drag.

Dimples were first added onto golf ball surfaces back during the gutta percha phase. Coburn Haskell introduced the one-piece rubber cored golf ball encased in a gutta percha sphere. Then in 1905 William Taylor applied the dimple pattern to a Haskell golf ball, thus giving rise to the modern golf ball as we know it today.

After its beginning, dimpled golf balls were officially used in every golf tournament. In 1921, the golf ball took its current form with standard size and weight. Nowadays there is a wide range of golf balls to fit every style, game and condition, with some golf balls offering control, and other golf balls offering distance.

Though a common sight nowadays, the dimpled golf ball is not just a mere element of the sports arena; it is a showcase of physics at work.
