  The Smart Stick is a golf swing training tool that provides continual, visual feedback throughout the entire swing. It utilizes green lasers and an innovative wrist bar that will teach you the flat left wrist at the top of your swing, how to hinge your wrist 90 degrees as well as how to maintain club head lag on the downswing. With the green lasers the Smart Stick can be used indoors as well as outdoors.

• The Power of the Launch Monitor in Club Fitting

  
  

  Perhaps the biggest development in golf club fitting in recent years is the addition of the launch monitor. The launch monitor provides vital data of both the golf ball and club head prior to, during and following ball impact.

  The following data is compiled by the launch monitor after each shot.
  - Clubhead speed
  - Ball speed
  - Dynamic loft (loft of the clubhead at ball contact)
  - Launch angle (the angle the ball is launched when leaving the clubface)
  - Club head path
  - Clubface angle
  - Angle of attack of the clubhead
  - Rate of ball back spin and side spin
  - Displacement of the ball during and after flight
  - Carry and total distance
  - Efficiency or smash factor

• Equipment paths the way for junior golfers

  
  

  Choosing the right clubs for your child to golf with is an important step towards their love or hate for the game. I see too many junior golfers in the driving range and at the course using clubs that are too long, too heavy, too upright in lie angle, and too stiff in the shaft.

  Parents often buy clubs thinking that their son or daughter will grow into them just like buying clothes however, with golf, growing into your clubs is a very painful and unrewarding experience. Trust me – I’ve been through it.

• Interchangeable component technology – changing the way we play

  
  

  Just a little more than a year ago on January 1, 2008 USGA changed the way we play golf dramatically. Their change of rules on equipment allowed adjustable clubs to be used in tournament play. This represented one of the most dramatic changes in equipment since steel shafts were allowed in the 1930’s. Has the future of golf clubs been altered forever?

• Featured Shaft – Oban Devotion

  
  

  A new addition to our Nakashima Golf Fitting System, the Oban Devotion is making waves in the industry.
  Oban, a relatively new comer to the shaft manufacturing world hit it big time when in 2007 was fortunate to have the great Tiger Woods testing their shafts. I also am lead to believe that Jim Furyk uses Oban shafts in one of his fairway woods.

• Nakashima Golf goes SST Pure

  
  

  The fact is, no shaft is perfectly round, straight or stiff throughout its length. Despite modern manufacturing techniques every golf shaft, whether steel or composite, remains as unique as a fingerprint and cannot be fully analyzed until after the shaft has been manufactured.
  The PPOP, or principal planar oscillation plane, is the plane of assembly in which the shaft is the most stable when striking the ball.
