    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_club

    Loft and lie of a golf club. The shaft is a tapered tube made of metal (usually steel) or carbon fiber composite (referred to as graphite). The shaft is roughly 0.5 inches (13 mm) in diameter near the grip and from 34 to 48 inches (86 to 122 cm) in length. Shafts weigh from 45 to 150 grams (1.6 to 5.3 oz), depending on the material and length. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(golf)

    Solheim began PING golf as a garage business in 1959. His frustration during the game of golf resulted from his difficulty putting with the equipment of the era. The engineer from General Electric invented a new putter in his garage known as the "PING 1A". Instead of attaching the shaft at the heel of the blade, he attached it in the center.

    The shaft is roughly .58 inch/14.7 millimeters in diameter near the grip and between 35 and 48 inches/89–115 cm in length. Shafts weigh between 45 and 150 grams depending on the material and length. Graphite shafts are woven from carbon fiber and are generally lighter in weight than steel shafts. Graphite shafts became popular among amateurs ...

  5. Iron (golf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_(golf)

    A muscle back is the more traditional design and consists of a solid metal head, typically made of forged iron. The design of the club typically distributes the metal more evenly around the clubhead (though most designs still place more weight along the sole of the club), which makes the center of mass of the club higher and the moment of inertia (the clubhead's resistance to rotation) lower ...

  6. Affine manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_manifold

    A manifold having a distinguished affine structure is called an affine manifold and the charts which are affinely related to those of the affine structure are called affine charts. In each affine coordinate domain the coordinate vector fields form a parallelisation of that domain, so there is an associated connection on each domain.

  8. Lie group action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie_group_action

    Let :, (,) be a (left) group action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold ; it is called a Lie group action (or smooth action) if the map is differentiable. Equivalently, a Lie group action of G {\displaystyle G} on M {\displaystyle M} consists of a Lie group homomorphism G → D i f f ( M ) {\displaystyle G\to \mathrm {Diff} (M)} .

  9. Lob wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lob_wedge

    The mainstream lob wedge was invented by Karsten Solheim, the founder of the PING line of golf products, possibly after experimenting by gluing a potato chip to a straw. [8] Solheim was also responsible for naming the club the "L Wedge" or the "Lob Wedge", as it is currently known today.
