Building a Better Golf Weapon

Hitting a golf ball is a ballistic event, you are striking the golf ball with a tool and you launch it into the air with a desired distance and direction in mind. The ball is the projectile, the golf club is the firing pin and you are the weapon. Since the projectile is uniform in size and come in different compressions, and the firing pin is different for each shot the only thing that is consistent is the condition of the weapon.  You are only so mobile, stable, balanced and strong.  You can improve your choices in projectiles (golf balls) and firing pins (clubs) but unless you build a better weapon you will eventually be limited in your capability to hit a golf ball.

So let's look at the four components of the weapon, mobility, stability, balance and strength and how we can improve on them. Start there, you are the most adjustable piece of equipment you will ever own.
