Gentlemen,
The design of both the golfing and human machines must be able to "handle " the demands of both it's mass and it's acceleration. For instance...If you had an 18-wheeler coming down a mountain side at 65 MPH and it approached a sharp curve...if it didn't slow down it would slide in a "straight" line of the mountainside... same scenario with a Porch 911 traveling at 65 MPH, it wouldn't have to slow down as much and be able to maintain the "Arc" of the curve...Why? Well the RPM's of the Porche's wheels are higher, it is lighter and it has a smaller radius and Moment of Inertia compared to the radius and weight of a longer and heavier 18 wheeler whose Moment of Inertia is much greater. Bottom Line ...is the machine designed for "hauling Freight" or is it designed for "hauling ___"? Rule for this Forum...Not allowed to use profanity...but you know what I mean!!! Do you think this has anything to do with the "Endless Belt" concept?

PS. If Strong...Hit... If Quick Swing...If Both do either or Both!!!
