Work = force * distance (Newton).


The only energy we have here is moving mass. 1/2 Mass * velocity^2 to be precise. Newton once again.

The mass is constant. That leaves us with change of velocity.

Unless you do it really fast. When the swing speed approaches the speed of light we have to consult Einstein instead. Things get heavy then.


I think Homer would have enjoyed this thread.

Isn’t that relative? (pun)

HK said so –up to a point-in chapter 2
Swing fast – get a massive club head or sumpin like dat.

Effective mass = static mass divided by the square root of the quantity 1 minus the squared club head velocity over C squared.

Now I see why grip is so important.

Mass is important but weight is not - at least not where we are going with this thread.

Sorry-could not resist-just woke up and PP#3 still not awake!
