The point I was really making is... that I'm pretty sure there are players with slower clubhead speeds, that outdrive those with faster speeds, because they more efficiently transfer momentum(mass in motion) into the ball. The ball is like a little computer, and picks up all this information during the IMPACT INTERVAL. THIS OF COURSE, WITH HUMANS, WOULD BE HARD TO PROVE, BECAUSE OF ALL THE OTHER FACTORS INVOLVED.

lagster,
the point i'm really trying to make is that if you found these golfers i think you would find that that the ones with slower clubhead speeds still had better accleration at impact...that's what happens when they "more efficiently transfer momentum"...example: if i get the clubhead 0->120 mph from TOS->impact in 2 seconds, i have 60 mph/s of acceleration...if i get the clubhead 0->100 mph from TOS->impact in 1.5 seconds, i have 66.7 mph/s of acceleration and i think that this ball will go farther (assuming the contact parameters and flight conditions being equal)...BUT, i have absolutely no data to back this up...does anybody know of such studies/measurements?
