Many Players:
favor a certain club in their game, which according
to surveys made is the #7 iron. Why this club is chosen is something
most players can’t explain. The truth is, this club fits
best to their physics of motion. Therefore, the obvious thing
to do would be to adapt the other clubs in the bag to this favorite
club. The result being, the player would have optimal material
and a set of most favored clubs. The facts, however, are not
that simple, their interrelation being much more complex.
Unified equipment is a prerequisite for the development of a
constant routine of motion. Just as important, however, is the
necessity of the same body motion to the golf swing, the individual
made-to-measure swing of the player. If we assume that during
the swing a player’s upper and lower arm as well as his
hands don’t change their geometric pattern, the player
using his made-to-measure golf swing would just need to concentrate
upon the suspension of the arm-club system, meaning both shoulder
joints. In practice, while working on these details, the player
loses, seeks, finds and again loses his made-to-measure golf
swing, due to the hours played and leading to stress, fatigue
and/or frustration.
Gone
is the vicious circle which has driven unsuspecting
players toward more and more effort and continuously weaker
strokes in their game finally driving them to desperation. Gone
is the frustration which made players aggressive and then as
a result depressive. Gone are the muscular cramps. Gone are
the pains caused through slipped discs and slipped knee joints.
Gone is the necessity to look up the doctor or go to the drugstore
for pain relief. Muscular flexing instead of muscle pain. Made-to-measure
golf is needed. Carvinggolf has recognized this need and has
created a swing technique which uses a special pattern of movement
through the use of clubs having the same shaft lengths. Field
tests have shown results of very high hitting accuracy. Golf
is a target oriented game where accuracy in relation to the
target and hitting length are of greatest importance. Measurements
made through 1irongolf in the USA confirm that a slight deviation
from the center of the clubhead (1/4 inch) at ball contact results
in a loss of up to15 yards hitting distance.

Carvinggolf
The great advantage of Carvinggolf is that it’s
easy to learn the technique. Only four steps have to be followed.
Studies have shown that beginners have a hitting precision and
steadiness of over 85%. The data of the field studies done, based
on the learning progress achieved by beginners using different
golf techniques, confirm in a convincing manner and objectively,
the considerably higher hitting precision through the Carvinggolf
technique and Carvinggolf clubs. Carvinggolf clubs have equally
long shafts from the wedges to the #3 iron and therefore the same
swing pattern which makes the game more constant. The player does
not have to adhere to the so called steep and flat swing patterns
of the irons within the traditional set of clubs. Through the
equal shaft lengths and the equal lie of the clubs, the position
to the ball always remains the same. The ball position itself
also remains the same. The ball is always hit from the center,
therefore the player makes the same movement with each iron. That
is the reason why Carvinggolf is easier to learn.

Stack and Tilt
A new swing used on the U.S. tour, called the STACK &
TILT SWING, follows a similar goal as Carvinggolf, using a more
simplified swing movement to achieve a much better hitting precision,
with sensational results. Tiger Woods started adapting his swing
to the Stack & Tilt technique four years ago. The Carvinggolf
and the Stack & Tilt technique only differ through power development
and power effect upon the swing. Stack & Tilt puts its emphasis
more upon the rotation technique, while Carvinggolf primarily emphasises
the use of the pendulum motion technique.
What both techniques offer: an utmost on a possible
Made-to-Measure Golfswing
|
This means
stabilizing the spinal column and the shoulder – suspension
of the arm-club pendulum motion system – at the start
of the swing -, through weight transfer in the direction
of the target, triggered through stretching the right leg
and tilting the upper body. Structural engineers call this
movement in it’s conclusion “ obtaining a stable
support “. In this static position of the body, all
power developments and power effects of both techniques,
Carvinggolf and Stack & Tilt , remain undisturbed until
ball contact takes place. The made-to-measure golf swing
which the player has to achieve and control, is made up
of two movements for the backswing and two for the downswing.

For The Backswing
it means tilting the upper body sideways in the direction
of the target and stretching the right leg. Hereby, the upper
body comes forward in the direction of the ball and opens the
area needed to allow the pendulum motion for the backswing to
take place.

The Made-to-Measure Golf Swing with the
Carvinggolf Technique
The player always makes the same movement, no matter what
club is used, be it a #9 iron or a #3 iron etc. This enables the
player to stamp this pattern of movement into his mind much better,
faster and more easily. It’s similar to riding a bike, you
never forget it. The greater the distance cycled,the more automatic
the movement, comparable to playing golf, where the player can
implant the same swing pattern into his mind when playing and
can recall this pattern anytime needed. The made-to-measure golfswing
using the Carvinggolf technique very rapidly becomes a routine
movement.
Carvinggolf, makes playing golf much easier. Under the prerequisite
of using equal geometric and dynamic conditions of swing and using
clubs of the same length, Carvinggolf presents, for the first
time, the basis of a new training concept which makes the player
learn the game and improve much more rapidly and where through
the Stack and Tilt technique additional progress can be made.
By the Way
Through the Carvinggolf technique, the major part of the made-to-measure
golf swing is made possible through clubs with unified geometric,
rhythmic and dynamic conditions and the independent movement of
the dynamic pendulum motion chain. The player only has the task
of implementing the made-to-measure routine of movement and self-control.
