I wonder if the 142.xx is in dollars or British pounds.....If it's pounds, it's even more outrageous.

Would have thought results would be just the opposite! Tried tracking the paper down but best I could do so far was find a book where the work was published. http://bookshop.blackwell.com/bobus/ The Engineering of Sport ISBN: 0632055634 Lib. of Congress: GV745.E48 Want $142.xx Pretty high priced for a single paper! Any other way I can read the paper?

My personal favorite piece of research is Nishizawa, who "examined the effect of adding water to the inside of the shaft. ...the angular momentum of the club was 44% greater at impact than for a conventional club." Clearly the answer to our dreams - but wouldn't heavy water add even more explosiveness to our drives? > > > Hunter > > L. H. Kevil >
