From the reviews: "... Gives new insights and precise views into the forces and torques developed in the downswing.... Thank you, Dr. Jorgensen...We will all treasure your book." American Golf Pro "The heart of golfer Ted Jorgensen's delightful book lies in his analysis of the swing of the golf club and how, armed with insights from that analysis, you, he and I might all swing the club better and play better golf . . .

Synopsis
Improve your golf game by learning the underlying fundamentals of the golf swing in this acclaimed, unique contribution to the sport. Finally, you'll understand: why shortening your backswing doesn't substantially decrease clubhead velocity what components contribute to the optimal swing and what variations are acceptable how and why properly shifting your weight adds to distance why a golf ball behaves and spins as it does and much more. Written by a physicist after some twenty years of research, Physics of Golf is the only book devoted exclusively to explaining the science behind a successful golf game. Technical appendices offer details for the so inclined. The revised and expanded second now offers you: -new material on high-tech club designs -a complete new chapter on short putts -additional applications of physics to the problems every player faces. "Jorgensen tells golfers what they ought to be doing and why, the correct technique according to the principles of physics." -Golf Weekly "...gives new insights and precise views into the forces and torques developed in the downswing...Thank you, Dr. Jorgensen...We will all treasure your book." -American Golf Pro "The heart of golfer Ted Jorgensen's delightful book lies in his analysis of the swing of the golf club and how, armed with insights from that analysis, you, he and I might all swing the club better and play better golf...[The book] is designed to be accessible to the casual reader while satisfying the critical student. But first word or last, for anyone who has swung a golf club, the book is fun to read." -Physics Today "This very enjoyable book covers most aspects of golf from the swing, to club selection, golf balls, and human motion." -Applied MechanicsReview, "The heart of golfer Ted Jorgensens delightful book lies in his analysis of the swing of the golf club and how, armed with insights from that analysis, you, he, and I might all swing the club better and play better golfThe exposition is designed to be accessible to the casual reader while satisfying the critical studentfirst word or last, for anyone who has swung a golf club, the book is fun to read."

We will all treasure your book."AMERICAN GOLF PRO, An update and revision of the best selling book on the physics of golf, with new material added on putting, the latest technology in modern golf clubs, more applications of physics to the usual problems every player faces, and revised references, Written by a physicist (who is also a life-long golfer) for the educated and curious golfer, this book is the only one on the market devoted exclusively to explaining the science behind a successful golf game., This book is an revision and expansion of the best selling AIP Press title, Physics of Golf. It includes a new chapter on putting, a new appendix on the fundamental physics covered in the book, increased coverage of modern club design, and an updated reference section. As in the previous book, most of the mathematics is relegated to a technical appendix.

Excerpts from reviews: "Jorgensen's book may be about the last word on the golf swing... for anyone who has swung a golf club, the book is fun to read." Physics Today, 6/94, by Bob Adair, author of Physics of Baseball."...(book) gives us new insights and precise views into the forces and torques developed in the downswing...Thank you, Dr. Jorgensen. We will all treasure your book." American Golf Pro, winter 1996 "Jorgensen writes for a wide readership ranging from nongolfing fellow physicists... to nonscientific golfers..." Nature, 1994 "Daly's book is in the bucket; my sporting future is assured due to the Physics of Golf". Contemporary Physics, 1994
