Thirteen Different Swings

Golfers play with 13 different full swing clubs of random Mass and Moment of Inertia.  These are the two physical properties that affect how a club behaves when swung.  Still, these two properties are ignored by the golf industry.  The subconscious mind of the golfer thereby has to learn one swing for each club.  It also has to tell them apart by waggling the club before swinging it.  To swing one club in an efficient and consistent manner is an achievement.  To learn thirteen different swings and be able to tell them apart at a subconscious level is next to impossible. 

Even if the club makers wanted to produce clubs of optimal Mass and Moment of Inertia, it would not be easy to do as the properties of each golfer comes into play as well.  The physical properties of each club would have to be optimized for each and every customer.

Brain Maps (Muscle Memory)

It gets worse; it has been found that while growing one brain map, another brain map may shrink.  This, as brain maps are competing for neurons and space (Zumerchik, 2010).   For example, by practicing with a 9-iron, the proficiency of the other 12 clubs will drop.  The only way to solve this problem is to have one brain map that covers all thirteen full swing clubs. 

BioMatch

Rational Golf LLC of Florida has solved the problem by creating an algorithm, named BioMatch, that makes a computer model of the player´s body swinging each of the clubs in the bag.  Based on input such as body mass and height and various properties of the clubs the algorithm calculates how much weight has to be added to the grip end of each club for the upper body, hands, and clubhead to be synchronized at the impact position, while the golfer applies one consistent swing.  This is how the BioMatch method of golf club matching takes the complexity out of golf.

Www.Rational-Golf.Com

The BioMatch method of matching golf clubs is available on www.rational-golf.com.  Any golfer or club fitter may use the site to carry out the calculations and order a tailored set of weights to be inserted into the grip end of the clubs.  The original weight of each club has to be entered on the website, so keep a kitchen scale handy.  Club fitters that have converted to the BioMatch method of matching golf clubs, and thrown away the Swingweight scale, are able to measure the moment of inertia.  For those that do not yet have access to a moment of inertia scale, the moment of inertia will be estimated based on club weight and a database of clubhead weights.

Mass Production

Rational Golf has developed a method that golf club manufacturers can implement for taking online orders and optimize the weight of each club to suit each customer in an efficient manner.

Rational Golf LLC of Florida has signed a distributor agreement with Designer Golf Ltd club fitting studio of the United Kingdom.  The contract gives Designer Golf the rights to deliver the revolutionary BioMatch One-Swing Golf Club Matching system directly to its customers.  BioMatch will provide more accuracy and distance to all Designer Golf´s club-fitting customers and thereby improve the competitiveness of Designer Golf.

BioMatch offers effortless improvement to any golfer's game by matching the golf clubs within the set and to the body of the golfer.  Thereby taking back the accuracy and distance that Swingweight matched golf clubs are robbing you off.  The revolutionary system is applied to any golfer´s clubs, old or new.

The online application, available at www.rational-golf.com, creates a model of the golfer swinging each of his or her clubs and thereby determines the optimum weight for each club.  The target weight is achieved by adding a specific proprietary weight inside the shaft at the grip end of each club.  BioMatch is the last step in the club fitting process. 

Once the weights are installed the golfer´s game will improve effortlessly as he or her now only have to ingrain one swing in the subconscious mind.  Steering of the club is no longer necessary and is discouraged.  The method provides significantly better accuracy and slightly more distance to golfers at all levels.  BioMatch is a must have for any golfer who cares about their scores, or even the enjoyment of the game.

BioMatch replaces the arbitrary Swingweight method of matching golf clubs.  The more scientifically inclined golf professionals do understand the problems the outdated Swingweight method creates and are searching for new solutions.  One such example is Bryson DeChambeau's single length irons.  Entering the properties of the single length irons into the BioMatch algorithm proves that his Irons are matched.  BioMatch achieves the advantages of the single length irons without the disadvantages of the single length irons such as reduced accuracy with the “short” irons and lack of distance and height with the “long” Irons.  Besides, the other clubs in DeChambeau's set are not matched to his single length irons.  BioMatch matches all the clubs in your set.  The putter is the only exception.  As the putting stroke is a completely different motion, it does not interfere with the subconscious routine of swinging the other clubs.

Designer Golf Ltd, located in Daventry just north of London, is now trained and fully equipped to implement the patented BioMatch method to its customers.  Steve Low, Managing Director of Designer Golf Ltd, was stunned by the results that BioMatch brought and grabbed the opportunity to become the UK Distributor with both hands: “After applying the method to my clubs I was shocked to see the dispersion, or lack of such, shown on my Flightscope.  Designer Golf is now set to revolutionize the club fitting business in the United Kingdom and welcomes customers from all over Europe”.

The founder of Rational Golf LLC of Florida and inventor of the BioMatch system, Gisle Solhaug, is excited to work with Designer Golf as he will be able to serve golfers in the UK better.  The cooperation with Designer Golf will be used as a model for how Rational Golf will appoint and work with distributors worldwide.

Golfers are welcome to learn more at www.rational-golf.com.  Club fitters in Europe should contact Steve Low, club fitters outside Europe should get in touch with Gisle Solhaug.

Jim Cai Wins the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour National Championship with BioMatch

Jim Cai, representing China, won the 2016 Hurricane Junior Golf Tour National Championship for Boys 14 -16 at the Champions Gate National Course in Orlando.  Jim shot three over par (75) on the final day under windy conditions for a total of 147 for the competition on the 6529 Yard course.  Jim beat Artem Yalovenko on the first playoff hole.  Brett Reid of Minnesota, another BioMatch player, won the third place only one shot behind.  The other two BioMatch players in the 89 strong field played well.  Tamerlan Bashikov of Kazakhstan shot 151 for the tournament for an 8th place.  Gregory Solhaug of Norway ended up in 17th place with a total score of 153.

BioMatch is a scientific way of matching golf clubs provided by Rational Golf LLC of Bradenton, Florida. The method is available for all on www.rational-golf.com.  Once a set of clubs is matched to the player he or she can apply the same consistent swing to all the clubs in the set. This increase accuracy, consistency, and distance throughout the set of clubs

Proper fitting of golf clubs is critical.  However, the Holy Grail of club building has always been to make a set of clubs in which the golfer can apply the same consistent swing to all the clubs.  Swingweight was introduced as a solution to this problem almost a hundred years ago.  Since then the industry has given up on finding a scientifically sound way of matching golf clubs.  BioMatch is the only scientific solution to matching your golf clubs within the set and to your body.  After applying BioMatch, you will effortlessly increase your accuracy and distance.  Club Fitters should implement BioMatch as the final step in the fitting process.  Golfers can easily implement BioMatch to their golf clubs at the Rational Golf website.

The moment of inertia around the center of the grip is measured using the MOIG instrument, or the BioMatch program will estimate it for you based on the other properties of the clubs. The club data is entered in the BioMatch algorithm online together with the golfer's height, weight, and fat percentage.  The website will then build a model of the golfer swinging each club and thereby calculate the optimum weight to be added to the grip end of each club.  Once the weights are installed the golfer´s game will improve effortlessly as accuracy and distance are improved.  Weights are easily installed using the Shaft Access Tool.

As you now only have to learn and ingrain one consistent swing in your subconscious mind, you will find the game much easier to play.  If you have been absent from the game for a while, you will be able to pick it up again much faster.  Tiger Woods comes to mind as someone’s life BioMatch would change if given the opportunity.  Golfers at any level will benefit from BioMatch.  If you play for money, or you are keen on improving your game, it is a no-brainer.

I am talking about the picture of the beautiful club-fitting studio with all the latest technologies in club heads and shafts.  Then on the table is a Swingweight Scale!  What a waste of time, money and technology.  This instrument is preventing every golfer from reaching his or her potential.  Instead, the Mass and MOI of each of your clubs should be optimized to fit your body.  Then your subconscious mind only has to ingrain one swing rather than 13.  This patented technology, named BioMatch, is now available to every golfer online and it is easily applied to your existing clubs.  Your game will improve effortlessly as accuracy and distance increase.

BioMatch; Best of Both Worlds

There are disadvantages, as well as advantages, of having all the clubs the same length.  When all your clubs have the same mass, moment of inertia, and length you can apply the same consistent swing to all your clubs.  Being able to use the same swing for all your clubs is a huge advantage.  However, your "shorter" clubs will be less accurate, and your "longer" clubs will have a lower than optimal ball flight as compared to a standard set of club.  BioMatch gives you the best of both worlds.  You keep your standard length clubs while still being able to apply the same swing to all your clubs.  And I mean all your clubs, not just your irons, as is the case with the single length irons.

The current popularity of single length irons proves that there is a need for matching of golf clubs.  BioMatch fills this need without the golfer having to buy new clubs, and it does so for all the clubs in the bag.

BioMatch gives you more distance on every club as well as deadly accuracy with every club in the bag.  BioMatch is easily applied to your existing clubs by installing the recommended size of weight to the grip end of your clubs.  The patented BioMatch application builds a model of your body swinging each of your clubs.  Thereby, determining the optimum weight to be added to each of your clubs for your body, hands, and clubhead to be synchronized at impact.  Your game will improve, effortlessly, once you have installed the weights.

These days' instruments for measuring the moment of inertia around the grip end of the club are available at a low cost. This has brought about the opportunity of matching a set of clubs by making all the clubs have the same moment of inertia.  Some golf club manufacturers, such as Big Fish Golf of Singapore and Wishon Golf of Colorado, are matching their clubs my moment of inertia.  This is a step in the right direction from the Swingweight method as it is an actual physical property.  There are, however, two problems with the moment of inertia method:  The golf club does not rotate around the grip end of the club.  Thereby the moment of inertia around the grip end is not all that relevant.  Secondly; the system does not specify the mass of the golf club. The importance of the overall mass of the golf club has pretty much been ignored throughout club making history.

The BioMatch method of matching golf clubs specifies the optimum mass of each club.  One important factor in determining the optimum mass is the moment of inertia around the center of the grip.  BioMatch makes a model of your body swinging your clubs.  BioMatch thereby determines the optimum weight of each club so that your upper body, hands, and clubhead are synchronized.  The optimum weight of each club is achieved by inserting the appropriate size of weight into the grip end of each club.  Once that is done you can apply the same swing to all your clubs.  As you now only have one swing to ingrain in your mind, your game will improve effortlessly as accuracy and distance improve.

In his latest book, Best of Tampa Bay, Sven Boermeester devotes a full page to Rational Golf LLC as an example of the many start-ups in the Tampa area.  The founder of Rational Golf, Gisle Solhaug, invented the BioMatch method of matching golf clubs.  The article explains how this patented invention is set to make the game of golf easier to play for all.  Check out the article, and a great book, right here.

Bryson DeChambeau's single length irons are all matched. The BioMatch method of matching golf clubs determines the optimum mass of each club in the set. The optimum mass is a function of club length, club moment of inertia, and lie angle as well as the properties of the golfer. As all these variables are identical for all of Bryson DeChambeau's irons, the BioMatch method will yield the same optimum weight for all his irons. As all his irons do have the same weight, they are matched according to the BioMatch method.

Unfortunately only his irons are matched. The rest of his clubs can easily be matched by the BioMatch method so that he can use the same swing for all his clubs, without altering the length of the clubs or the weight of the club heads.  The optimum weight of each club is obtained by inserting the appropriate size of weight into the grip end of the club.
