Space-Age Technology Transforms Golf Club Fittings Custom club fitter taps into technological advances to upgrade your game

Club Champion is not your father’s club fitter. Back in the day, a professional club fitter would apply tape to your club head and have you hit off a lie angle board. They’d eyeball your swing and suggest a change in the stiffness of your shaft, or maybe a different grip. They may have even had a swing speed meter, but that was the extent of technology’s role in the fittings of the past. Today, premium fitter Club Champion taps into the 21st century from every conceivable angle to deliver a truly professional, truly modern custom golf club fitting.

If you walk into any of the 62 Club Champion fitting studios nationwide, you’ll see the touches of modern technology everywhere. The fitting bays and putting greens are outfitted with radar-based TrackMan launch monitors, computers and ultrasound putting systems. The demo walls are lined with club heads and shafts that can be combined using a proprietary coupling system, allowing golfers to test over 35,000 hittable combinations in real time. Even the pre-fitting interview is aided by a tablet. Make no mistake that you’re in a modern golf mecca.

“We’re the best at what we do because we exhaust every tool available in the club fitting world,” says Club Champion founder and master club fitter Nick Sherburne. “You can’t get our proven results without being a bit of a golf geek, and our fitting technology takes us to that next level.”

Pardon the pun, but it’s fitting that a company like Club Champion would utilize every advancement available. Their business model is built in part on offering the latest and greatest in golf club technology, and club manufacturers are living in their own futuristic world. Titanium and other space-age materials are making their way into club construction. Robots, wind tunnels and now artificial intelligence are used to help design and test clubs before they ever see the light of a trade show floor or retailer shelf. To truly take advantage of these developments, fitters and builders have to be able to analyze and understand every element of a golfer’s swing, and be able to match the player to the club component.

TrackMan swing analysis, the gold standard of launch monitors, can be found in every Club Champion fitting bay. It is the same system the PGA Tour uses to show a pro’s ball flight on TV and to track hitting statistics. Club Champion uses it to take precise club and ball measurements in a controlled environment. One radar system tracks everything the club does before, during, and after impact, measuring parameters like club path, face angle and even swing direction and spin loft. The secondary radar system tracks the ball flight from launch to landing. Measurements there include launch angle, spin rate and curvature. Dual Radar Technology is a significant milestone in the evolution of custom fitting.

The flat stick gets its own system, called SAM (Science and Motion) PuttLab. This ultrasound-based system analyzes the 28 most important parameters of a putting stroke then displays the results in graphic reports. Within seconds, the system delivers individualized feedback and reports on even the smallest details of a putting stroke like putter path, face aim, rotation, tempo, impact spot, face angle and more. The ultrasound sensory analysis makes SAM much more precise than any other system on the market. The principle is based on measuring the travel time signals of three sensors, whose calculation of the exact positions in space makes it possible to derive movement data. Each relevant putter parameter is diagnosed in an interactive step-by-step process. The software provides automatic data analysis, allowing master fitters to determine the best recommendations for putter head shape, grip, length, loft, lie, balance and weight.

The geekiness doesn’t stop with the swing and stroke analysis; the clubs are then custom-built to exacting, unrivaled tolerances, thanks in part to perfectly calibrated digital loft, lie and swing weight machines in every studio that match up precisely with those in the build shop. This conformity ensures that the club you hit in the fitting bay is the same club you purchase. Chuck Thiry, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Cleveland Golf says, “In our experience, Club Champion represents the finest in the art of club fitting and building. We are confident that Club Champion will fit, service and support the most discerning golfers at the highest possible levels.”

Lastly, Club Champion strives for perfection all the way down to the correction of manufacturing flaws. To varying degrees, golf shafts are not perfectly straight or perfectly round. Irregularities can cause problems when the shaft twists and bends during a swing. A process called SST PUREing addresses this; the system uses proprietary computer software to locate the “neutral” plane of each shaft. By assembling the club with the shaft in this PUREd position, off-line twisting and bending during the swing and at impact are greatly minimized. The system also generates a printout for each shaft, showing its structural and performance analysis. Club Champion PUREs more shafts than anyone else in the world - there are only 70 PUREing systems worldwide, and Club Champion owns three of them.

If there’s one thing that every golfer can agree upon, it’s that no one’s game is perfect. There’s always room for improvement. Club Champion agrees - they’re always adding and updating new technology to best fit golfers into clubs that gain distance, speed, accuracy and more. Why settle for the club fittings of yesterday when you could have a future of better golf?

Jewels, a Simple Question of Vanity?

The historical backdrop of gems across time isn't so much a record of human vanity than an impression of the development of human social orders and the inclination of people to make images and magnificence.

Gems across time

There are signs that people have been wearing gems from early occasions on as close to home decoration. Initially, these were made of materials effectively accessible in nature, for example, shells, creature bones or teeth. With time people figured out how to function with various stones and metals, including gold and pearls that were especially esteemed in gems. Our predecessors were unimaginably skilled goldsmiths and the excellence and quality of the old gems despite everything captivates us as plainly showed by the premium appeared for gem shows in historical centers or for schedule displays on for instance the Gold of the Incas or the fortunes from Egyptians tombs.

With the utilization of valuable metals like gold or pearls like precious stones, gems became unmistakable indications of riches, influence and cultural request. At various occasions, as in the Middle Age, laws were passed with respect to who was permitted to wear gems, which in itself outlines the social significance joined to gems.

The idea of royal gems was made in the Renaissance time frame where the French King Jewellery Design Competition, Francois first proclaimed 8 fine pieces to be unavoidable legacies of French kings.Similar enactment in different nations before long laid the ground for the fortunes of the European Royal families.

nineteenth and twentieth century, a defining moment

The utilization and criticalness of gems changed definitely in the nineteenth century because of social, innovative and social variables.

Another social code - Until then men wear similarly as rich gems as ladies did. In like manner they had valuable stones, pearls, gold and silver strings sawed into their pieces of clothing. Be that as it may, around the nineteenth century the social code required a progressively calm clothing regulation for men. Besides, around a similar period, an a lot more honed separation was presented among day and night gems, the most luxurious being saved for nighttimes and occasions.

Another innovation - The modern unrest made it conceivable to mass produce gems of high-just as low-quality, in this way putting adornments inside the monetary handle of an a lot bigger section of the populace. This thus prompted an increasingly loosened up connection to gems obtained at a lower cost and handily traded by new assortments for a rapidly evolving design.

The cutting edge culture - The Art Nouveau development and the 1900 World Exhibition denoted another period where plan and inventiveness are prized above material worth, in this manner moving the accentuation of the gem dealer's specialty from the setting of stones to the imaginative structure. This denoted the introduction of what is presently called craftsmanship adornments rather than conventional gems.

During the Art Deco period Coco Chanel incredibly promoted ensemble adornments as ornamentation to supplement a specific chic outfit or piece of clothing. Those ensemble gems frequently made of non valuable material and mass-delivered denoted the beginning of a time of expendable gems that are in vogue for a brief timeframe and rapidly obsolete by another design style.

One can't specify structure without referencing the Danish Design. This creative development is described by very unmistakable calm round lines of incredible stylish quality and an inclination for silver. Georg Jensen is the most significant figure, however positively by all account not the only prestigious name. Danish Design had a gigantic impact in the remainder of Europe and in the US and laid the ground for some trial gems during the 1960s a 1970s.

Gem configuration didn't just tried different things with new structures and new material - including modest materials like aluminum, plastic, paper, nylon, however high fashion originators, for example, Coco Chanel, as referenced above, and eminent specialists like Salvador Dali, Picasso or Max Ernst made a huge commitment to advancement in that field. This work tested choking shows and to some degree obscured the limits between adornments, style and expressive arts.

Gems today and tomorrow

Gems are simply appealing today as they were before. It is beyond the realm of imagination now to envision what the 21st century will bring as oddity. Notwithstanding, seeing what's going on today may give us an insight as to inclinations.

Craftsmanship gems

One of the indications of the proceeded with financial and social significance of gems in present day society is the yearly Copenhagen Jewelry Fair that is Scandinavian greatest gems and watch reasonable. This year, the regal security of the reasonable, Princess Marie, conveyed the prize to the winder of the "Bella Nordic Jewelry Award", that can be considered as that Nordic rivalry for gem dealers.

However, away from that marvelousness, you can discover numerous little gem creators' ateliers dispersed all over Denmark. There, you can discover lovely special gems made by skilled individuals with an enthusiasm for their specialty and proposing an incredible assorted variety of structure and acknowledgment.

Home-made gems

The significant expense of value gems has made ready for a "do it without anyone else's help" development. There is a serious sizeable number of physical or virtual shops were private customers can purchase gems parts that they can then gathered to make gems for themselves or others. Those shops have been as of not long ago be a gainful business, however there are currently sign that the stamped is coming to immersion and rivalry is getting more enthusiastically.

Gems, utilization society and reusing

As referenced before, gems are an impression of cultural advancements. On one side large scale manufacturing with modest materials has implied an immense idea of gems that everyone can manage. Those gems have become conventional objects of utilization to be utilized and disposed of without the slightest hesitation

As a response to this "squander society" reusing has become a solid cultural development. Squander material, even garbage, is utilized to new manifestations, including gems. Those are per definition one of a kind pieces coming out of the originator's creative mind and sold at costs significantly fluctuating with the notoriety of the creator.

Gems for men

While there is by all accounts no restriction of size, shading and organization in ladies' gems, the offer and utilization of men's adornments is similarly very limited. It is hard to state whether this is because of men themselves, to cultural standards on what a man can wear or because of the absence of intrigue and innovativeness with respect to the creators. It is however increasingly more acknowledged for men to wear studs, which may be an indication that shows and taste are evolving.

Adornments - an everlasting romantic tale

Gems have followed people all through ages and have had a social and social job that has developed connected at the hip with social orders. In our intricate present day society gems, in some structure, are reasonable to all layers of society and are utilized as signs on mentalities, ways of life and having a place. The social centrality of gems is hard to decide taking into account the extraordinary offer and decent variety of gems from the modest mass-delivered to the best select pieces. As Clare Phillips1 states "What stays genuine now, as all through the ages, is that gems at its best has the ability to captivate and rouse - which is the prime trait of workmanship at its best in any of its numerous signs." It would then be able to be finish up no doubt that, truly, gems are considerably more than a declaration of human vanity.

For much of the 20th century, a section of the western intelligentsia deluded itself that something worthwhile was taking place in the Soviet Union. There were of course those well-known, even notorious intellectuals such as Beatrice and Sidney Webb, Bernard Shaw and HG Wells, who travelled east to pay obsequious tribute to the “new civilisation” (the Webbs’s words). However, there was a wider array of apologists who filtered through into the Labour Party, the trade unions and academia.

The romantic penumbra that surrounds the dictatorship in Cuba to this day is a good example of the moral leeway still granted to projects that are nominally socialist, or which seek to transform humanity in some way. As Leszek Kołakowski put it, progressive hearts which are “bleeding to death when they hear about any, big or minor (and rightly condemnable) injustice in the US… suddenly become wise historiosophists or cool rationalists when told about worse horrors of the new alternative society”.

But the Soviet Union has been gone for almost 30 years, and today’s Cuba is mainly of kitsch value, its youthful revolutionary heroes preserved as a piece of sixties nostalgie; its diminishing achievements — education (Fidelista indoctrination) and internationalist healthcare (Cuban doctors sent overseas have been likened to indentured labour) — implausibly trotted out to justify over half a century of dictatorship.

Red alert: the childish fad for socialism

BY JAMES BLOODWORTH

And so a new generation of political “seekers” have turned to China for their ideological sustenance.

Beyond the mere worship of money and power, there is not much to like about the government in Beijing. The programme of socialist modernisation launched four decades ago by Deng Xiaoping has produced an authoritarian state capitalism overseen by a dictatorship which censors the internet, bans independent trade unions and pursues an aggressively imperialist policy in the South China Sea.

What the Chinese regime shares with the Stalinist USSR is contempt for ethnic minorities and civil society. Over recent years China has arrested a million Uyghurs and Kazakhs and placed them in forced labour camps. As Nick Cohen writes for The Observer, evidence of their criminality includes “wearing a veil or headscarf” and the “avoidance of alcohol”.

The esteemed British historian Eric Hobsbawm was asked in an interview for Desert Island Discs in 1995 if communist utopia would have been worth the sacrifice of millions of lives. Yes, the historian replied. The most charitable interpretation of Hobsbawm’s remarks was that it was at least plausible in the 1930s to believe that Stalin’s USSR was the only alternative to a western capitalism which looked increasingly like the handmaiden of fascism. Of course even that is a stretch: there were plenty of individuals at the time who eschewed fascism without embracing Stalinist mass murder.

A cautionary tale for today's 'woke' movement

BY JOHN GRAY

But does anyone truly believe that contemporary China is forging an egalitarian new civilisation? Income inequality in China exceeds that of the United States. Moreover, when it is not herding Uighurs into the Gulag, the Chinese Communist Party is busy suppressing young Chinese Marxists who have noticed the gap between official rhetoric and the corrupt and unequal reality.

Yet much like during the Cold War, a roll-call of useful idiots have faithfully stepped forward from deep within the cosseted bosom of western liberal democracy to defend China from criticism. Some, undoubtedly chasing clout on social media, have decided that “Muslims are treated better in Russia/China than in the United States”. This is concerning — the “journalist” in question has sixty six thousand followers — but easy to dismiss as inane online prattle. Still, behind the hot air merchants stand “progressive” organisations that have taken the decision to align themselves with the Chinese state while one of the biggest crimes of the 21st century unfolds.

The Morning Star, long an uncritical mouthpiece for authoritarian communism, describes evidence of Chinese persecution of the Uighurs as “laughably weak”, despite mountains of material from independent human rights organisations demonstrating the veracity of the claims. (The paper has history here: The Morning Star’s predecessor The Daily Worker faithfully toed the Soviet line, defending the pact with Hitler and the murderous show trials in Eastern Europe, while of course never mentioning the millions of people being worked to death in the Gulag). It is shameful that the British Left treat The Morning Star with reverence as an alternative to the capitalist press.

How the Left lost all purpose

BY JAMES BLOODWORTH

But The Morning Star is not the only culprit; new organisations are springing up to do Beijing’s dirty work. Today we have the “Progressive International”, launched in 2020 by prominent leftist luminaries including the former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, as well as Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein (among others). The Progressive International says it wants to “defeat a rising authoritarian nationalism”, yet it has aligned itself uncritically with the Qiao Collective, a vehicle for the promotion of Chinese imperialism combined with the sort of authoritarian nationalist groups that the Progressive International were ostensibly founded to oppose. The Qiao Collective brooks no criticism of the CCP and either denies the persecution of Uighur Muslims, or portrays their oppression as a function of legitimate “anti-terrorism” policy by Beijing.

Together with denial and obfuscation when it comes to the projection of Chinese power, the Qiao Collective pushes Chinese state media which depicts western nations as in the grip of strife and malfeasance. The Russian television station RT has long deployed a similar tactic. Western audiences are urged to scrutinise their own governments and to “Question More” — until RT turns its attention to Russia, when this critical approach is replaced by the party line from the Kremlin.

This glaring double standard is evident to anyone who isn’t trying to make a name for themselves as an anti-American talking head. Just as the Soviet Union accused the West of “warmongering” (sometimes justifiably, as in Vietnam) while it sent armies to Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa to prop up bloody dictators, the Chinese State and its obsequious mouthpieces extol the virtues of racial justice in the US, while incarcerating a million Muslims in concentration camps.

It is perhaps understandable, although no less egregious for it, that the Chinese state should seek to downplay its misdeeds and calumnies. Stranger is the spectacle of progressive-minded commentators credulously lining up to offer the Chinese state their support.

Depressingly, a permanent feature of politics seems to be a stubborn rump of ideologues whose criticism of their own government co-exists with a need to develop a corresponding loyalty to another unit. Orwell called this phenomenon “transferred nationalism”. For Orwell, transference has an important political function: “It makes it possible for [the transferer] to be much more nationalistic — more vulgar, more silly, more malignant, more dishonest — than he could ever be on behalf of his native country, or any unit of which he had real knowledge.”

Ideologues miss Orwell's greatest lesson

BY JAMES BLOODWORTH

Authoritarian, rapaciously capitalist China is merely the latest “camp” that stands ready to be embraced by those who are temperamentally inclined to transference. “We examined the source data on the claims of millions of Uyghurs in so-called concentration camps,” said Max Blumenthal, the American left-winger and son of a former aide to Bill Clinton, on RT earlier this year. “We haven’t seen the evidence for these massive claims,” he added.

Blumenthal is the founder and editor of the far-Left news site The Grayzone. In the past, The Grayzone has supported grisly dictatorships in Syria and Venezuela for no reason other than the latter’s opposition to western liberal democracy. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokespeople Hua Chunying and Lijian Zhao have both approvingly tweeted a Grayzone article which sought to rubbish claims that China is persecuting its Uighur population.

The Max Blumenthals of the world may be base and cynical (Blumenthal’s politics took a 180 turn following a 2015 trip to the Kremlin), but in this postmodern age, it’s apparent that people still yearn to be part of something bigger than the self. Materialism and solipsistic self-betterment are not enough though. They have limited appeal next to the desire — felt in the days when Wells visited the USSR, and even more strongly felt today — to be part of a world historical struggle between good and evil. Whether or not this quasi-religious impulse is transposed onto an atheistic communist tyranny is largely beside the point. The search for a tyrannical fatherland, a steady ideological pole to cling onto in tumultuous times, continues unabated.

With the emergence of the contemporary pro-China useful idiot in mind, it is worth paraphrasing the dissident Russian revolutionary Victor Serge, himself a believer at one time in the big idea of communism, who noticed: “when there are no more worthwhile banners, people start to march behind worthless ones”.

America Is Addicted to Outrage. Is There a Cure?

By Lance Morrow, WSJ, Nov. 30, 2018

Outrage has become the signature emotion of American public life.

People are so used to it--the noise, the flying spittle--that they were pleasantly surprised when Rep.-elect Dan Crenshaw of Texas declined to be incensed. He is the former Navy SEAL who lost an eye in Afghanistan and was mocked--more stupidly than viciously--for his eyepatch by a performer on “Saturday Night Live.” The insult called for outrage, in the usual tit-for-tat. But instead Mr. Crenshaw took it in good humor. He went on “SNL” to accept the performer’s apology. Not everything needs to be treated as an outrage, he said--a grown-up in a moment of grace.

People have been mad as hell for much of the 21st century, starting roughly with the stalemated Bush-Gore election in 2000, followed quickly by 9/11. Fundamentals have been changing fundamentally: marriage, sexual identity, racial politics, geopolitics. Outrage flourishes also because of the rise of social media--the endless electronic brawl--and because it plays so well on our screens. Cable news draws pictures in crayon, in bold primary colors that turn politics into cartoons. On the left, “stay woke” means “stay outraged.” Trumpians want to “lock her up” or “build a wall.” Outrage is reductive, easy to understand. It is an idiom of childhood--a throwback even to the terrible twos.

The various tribes have broken off negotiations with all differing points of view. They excuse themselves from self-doubt and abandon the idea of anything so weak as compromise or, God forbid, ambivalence: No other perspective could possibly be valid. Americans have lost tolerance for the 51%-to-49% judgment call, even though that’s about the margin of their disagreement on almost everything. People give themselves over to the pleasures of self-righteousness and self-importance that come with being wronged when you know you’re in the right. Among the civic emotions, outrage is a beast of the prime; to harness outrage is to discover fire.

A healthy society reserves its outrage for special occasions: Pearl Harbor, say, or the church bombing in Birmingham, Ala., that killed four girls. But in the 21st century, special occasions--mass shootings and other random eruptions of the id--occur regularly. They have turned outrage into a ragged, all-purpose national reflex, with side effects of disgust and despair.

Outrage often emerges when an anecdote about a particular drama becomes generalized into a hashtag, as when that masterpiece of unshaven phallocratic beastliness Harvey Weinstein was dragged before the public gaze, and, in an instant, the #MeToo movement arose, drawing forth the squalid secrets of other famous men. After many a summer dies the swine. But the greatest casualty of outrage may be judgment itself. It’s dangerous when indignation abstracts itself, as when charges of sexual misconduct become generalized in phrases like “toxic masculinity,” which may condemn all men regardless of facts. They are guilty one way or another. If you cannot convict a man of rape, then you may get him for “mansplaining.”

Pretty soon absolutely everything becomes an outrage. Anything that isn’t an outrage is Jeb Bush. Complex interactions of outrage from both parties’ bases conjured up the presidency of Donald Trump, who is the mighty Wurlitzer of the art form.

Outrage seems strenuous enough, but in truth it is a lazy habit--spontaneous, fatuous and naive. Organizing a lynch mob is easier--with a surer, immediate and dramatic reward--than conducting a fair trial, which requires the brains and patience of an adult. Outrage presents itself as an assertion of conscience, but in practice it mostly bypasses conscience and judgment, and goes straight to self-righteous rage, by way of self-pity.

Outrage may be justified, of course, and redress long overdue. Just as a dose of morphine may be appropriate to help a patient in extreme pain, so with outrage. But like morphine, outrage is widely abused--and addictive. It may wind up becoming frivolous or fraudulent, as in all those “triggers” and “microaggressions.”

Is outrage now an American entitlement, and a permanent state of mind? Black Americans are more entitled to outrage than most, their grievances embedded in history. Are Asian-Americans entitled to be outraged? Some are making that case in their lawsuit over Harvard’s admissions practices--an argument that, in turn, collides with the counterclaims of African-American outrage. Are gay people entitled to be outraged? Are women entitled to be outraged? Who isn’t entitled to be outraged? (White men?)

There is something sinister and corrupt--Maoist--in the habit of assigning people to categories. That was the besetting sin of the 20th century; it was the way of genocide. As people are again consigned to shallow, mutually exclusive categories in this century, it is as if we learned nothing.

A society that goes on in this way will exhaust itself. Sometimes, the outrage is a Newtonian response to the truly outrageous; outrage may have its vision of social justice. But, like so much else today, it has gotten to be a racket. The coin of anger is debased. Indignation has become a meme--not an authentic political or moral reaction to facts in a serious world, but rather a reflex, a kind of irresponsible playacting, or worse, a mania. When everyone is outraged, then real grievances lose their meaning, and the endless indulgence of outrage becomes, objectively, immoral.

Battleground 2 Microsoft window Video game.

I have played different video games during the course of the final five years yet no video game has actually provided me a great deal enjoyment as the video game from volleyball. Joffrey and Margaery's wedding event was among the highlights from season four, primarily since visitors eventually got to see Joffrey obtain his comeuppance. Since it gives me enough physical exercise and also it develops all the muscle mass from mind, I adjudge the game of volleyball the greatest. I got that for $60 new at launch and also returned the game the following time for $4 at GameStop. I have actually been an enthusiast as well as regular viewers for regarding a year currently, as well as I have discovered several new favorite recipes and also motivation for my very own food-loving blogging site ().

Completed on pair of baseball rural staffs, losing in the final in both 2011 and also 2012. Used 3 periods in the Alberta Junior Hockey League along with the Camrose Kodiaks (2012-2015).

The book provides great lessons in being objective to younger leaders so they ... I just finished reading the book "The Objective Leader" by Elizabeth Thornton. I found the book to be a very thought provoking and insightful. I am fairly mature in my career (35 plus years) it brought to light many of the lessons I have learned through experience and how I have changed over the years to improve as a leader. Being objective in my leadership and decision making has always been a goal and something I have always tried to improve upon. The book provides great lessons in being objective to younger leaders so they can avoid some of the mistakes I have made finding my way. The single greatest testament I can make for the book is the fact the author Elizabeth Thornton reached someone like me (white and politically conservative) who comes from a very different background, viewpoint, and experience than the author. That is a very difficult thing to breakthrough on and Elizabeth has achieved this in the book. I intend on recommending the book to others and some of those that work for me. Go to Amazon

I highly recommend this book This is the quintessential revolutionary business book for the 21st Century. If you want to learn to be an effective CEO and lead your team to excellence, I highly recommend this book. Ms Thornton details an exemplary and honest account of her own trials and tribulations running her own business that ultimately resulted in her losing $1M. What I enjoyed most about reading her story is that she gives the reader "Reality Checks," which are signs she ignored because she was too emotionally or subjectively involved in her business. All of us leaders have been there and I wish this book had been available to me years ago when I started my own business. Ms. Thornton's simple, insightful writing style made this book such a delight to read. Unlike most business books, you can even read it on the beach during a vacation. In summary, I loved this book.
