Bob,
I wouldn't be surprised if there was something to it. My dad must have
thought there was some inherent information in "waggling" a club.
Don't know if there is any connection, but while dad was the Director of Golf
Research at A.G. Spalding, Max Knobel, John Dickson and my dad patented a
"Wagglemeter" machine "....for testing the dynamic balance of golf clubs...",
basically an MOI club matching machine. The patent was applied for on
tommorrow's date (October 28) in 1940 and granted when the patent office
finally got nearly through the war and caught up on May 23, 1944. It's Patent #
2,349,736 if you can find it online. After dad died almost 10 years ago, I
scanned a yellowed original from his files in PDF. E-mail me if you want a
copy, but it would probably be easier to read if you can find it online. I
believe Max did most of the work designing the machine. Dad was a great
believer in the waggle and always did it before any shot he made...played OK,
too, with a 2 handicap into his 60s.

Hi All:
I ran across this today, and although I have not had time to read
much of it, I thought some of you might want to check it out, to see if it has
any merits, or just another crackpot idea!
