世界上知名销售高尔夫专用工具的供应商就那几家，产品也大同小异。挥重仪、硬度频率器、杆面倾角、杆身落地角测量调整台和握把更换台等等都是工房用的常用的设备。工房我自己开了有两家，一家侧重美国货，另一家偏重日本产品。出于好奇，测球杆长度的尺子我们先后买了五把不同厂家不同款式的，结果由于它们的测量手段和方式完全不同，看似简单的小尺子，量同一支球杆，测出的长度竟然五把尺子五个长度。 晕晕晕！

但我也反对为统一形象和操作，搞加盟连锁，整授权经营。一、工房只有微薄的利润，为了学点修修杆的知识，每月交纳“忠诚”管理费，时间长了肯定不现实。二、调球杆有现实的困难，七八个影响球杆的参数，可不想一元三次方程式能用有限的数学知识求解那么容易，每位球杆使用者的动作千差万别，很多时候调球杆要凭直觉和感觉。开工房，还是自己直营店比较好，质量和利益都能保证。更有利于扬长避短，发挥自己的特点，做出特色，争取好的口碑和回头客。

说着说着，有点跑题。再讲那五把给我添堵的小尺子吧。

尺子量球杆知所以长度不同，原因是球具测量仪器缺少国家计量标准检验。中国早就是世界工厂，大小企业纷纷通过了各种IS09000和10000什么的认证，其中最重要的就是要对尺规定期做计量。而且精密程度不同，需要的认证单位的等级也不同。这样做才能保证供应链里上下游生产厂家能分工异地加工产品零件，并 组装在一起。没经过统一、定期计量的设备仪器，测出的数据不同也就不为怪了。

但还有一个问题，是测量球杆的尺子设计缺陷或者说是难点。我们知道，杆身长度是指，杆握把端到杆头底沿与杆身在保持正确的落地角时的交点的距离。而每支球杆的杆身落地角是不同的，越长的球杆越小，越短的球杆落地角也相应大一些。这要求测量杆身长度时，首先要找对这支球杆的杆身落地角，并确定出它与杆身的交点位置，才能正确测量出杆长。我说的缺陷，就是尺子上的滑标，是固定的角度，所以它测量长铁杆都读数大于实际，短铁杆反之。可如果手工用钢尺代替滑标，凭肉眼判断不同球杆的落地角度，本身误差就很大。还有球杆落地角本身不正确，没调整好落地角前，怎么能找对它与杆身的交点？交点都不对，更别提测出正确的杆身长度了。我是不是太较真了！

其实对客人而言，有个简单的办法。找个自己信的过的工房，轻易不要变。至少短期内用同一个设备测量的数据，相对比较是很有参考价值的。它们至少减少了系统误差，数据和数据之间，同一个技师，同一种方法测得的数据，还是比较靠的住的。

什么是好的工房标准呢？首先是卫生，但不必整整齐齐、干干净净，整修像个五星级酒店。它是个乱而有序；该有的仪器设备特别是小专业工具一应俱全；材料库存品种多多益善；技师有20年工作经历，还是0差点的高手，工作有条有理精益求精；地理位置交通方便，营业时间7-11，365天不休息。。。

等咱们的球手又朝一日拿下奥运金牌，世界著名球具产家的豪华工房车满街都是还愁尺子有毛病？！

在工房里大家称师傅为技师，原因是他们多数没念多少书，而中国能评职称叫工程师，一定要本科以上文化程度。究其原因，是做杆人首先需要会打球，而高尔夫在中国起步晚，会打球的年轻人多数来自小球童、小教练，大学生里反而是凤毛麟角，这么稀罕的人才，也看不上工房师傅的角色。

小胖的经历也类似，岁数不大，做过教练，甚至还做过练习场主管。那年在高润开第一家工房时，练习场的小教练都跑来听我讲解球杆的知识，结果小胖执意要留下来做徒弟。每天的工作从一早打扫卫生开始，节假日从不休息，一心要掌握一技之长，对的起自己的人生。

工房技师最主要的是什么素质？往大里说，要热爱高尔夫 、要有全心全意为高球爱好者服务的好思想。往细了说，要会打球，又喜爱钻研高球理论；要动手能力强，是脑子好使的聪明人，又是细心的完美主义者；而最难的是做人，目标永远是让球友能打出好球，而不是卖了个好价钱。

技师和球友对球杆的了解，信息和知识是不对称的。球具检查时，总能发现球杆存在的不完美的参数。这有点类似检查身体，好好的人也总能找到些小毛病。如果医生的出发点是卖药，或增收CT核磁的进一步检查费用，他只要随便说说，稍稍夸大其词一点，你保证入套。工房技师也一样，由于高尔夫受心理影响很大，当他“诅咒”两句DRIVER的杆身，说句让球友似懂非懂的话：“杆身扭矩太大”，“脊线方向不对”等，我保证仁兄每次下场开球时，心理一想杆身的问题，就再也别想开出好球了，不出三天一定会来找你换支新杆身。

学习调校球杆，有两种路径。日本式师徒相传，靠时间积累，一点一点掌握调校球杆的既能，没三年以上的培养，很难带出个徒弟。在经济快速发展的时代，没有多少年轻人能承受的起。另一种是美国式学院派培训，适合有一定教育背景的人。技师只要先有一点相关工作经历，然后系统学习即可。当年在美国上课时，同学多半是有工程学位的生意人或生活转型者，出于对高尔夫的喜爱或业务拓展需要，靠过去大学里接受的基础教育，学的可以很快很深。但不够扎实，实际动手能力因人而定，做杆水平差别很大。

世上无难事，只怕有心人。小胖虽学历不高，但态度决定一切。靠每天接受一点新知识，从分数、单位，能量守恒、动量守恒、势能、MOI、弹性、扭矩、浮力、热传导等数学物理学原理（好多我自己都忘了），到杆面倾角、杆身落地角、挥重、杆身硬度频率、纯化、脊线，和简单的英文专用单词，从教他待人接物经营之道；到教他如何做人，信誉是一切，交出的球杆不只是让客户满意，球杆的质量做工要过得了你自己心里的那个良心关，四年的时间终于出徒，如今已能独挡一面。看到他用自己的双手立业成家，我感到非常非常欣慰。

技能改变命运。国外的球具工房技师，随车游走比赛场地，服务PGA一流球手和最著名的球星做朋友，是个令人羡慕的职位。今年大学生就业如此困难，有没有想脚踏实地自己开工房的？中国的高尔夫事业还很年轻，蕴藏着无限机会与挑战。有志成为技师的年轻人，赶快行动吧！

但建看台的新做法还是值得肯定，它让高尔夫更像个名副其实的运动了。莱德杯如果可以引进这种做法，各建一个看台给欧洲和美国的球迷，一定很有意思。奥运会还可考虑建更多的看台，那里必将是球迷欢乐的海洋。

VG3

Titleist has long been known as a brand made for the better golfer and professional player. Titleist however wants the golfing world to know that it not only makes the best clubs for the better player but also for any golfer who demands the highest in quality and performance. To help support this point, Titleist Japan and Titleist America joined forces to develop a new concept driver specifically designed with the Japanese market golfer in mind, and the idea of hitting it long and straight.

For many years, Titleist has been accumulating data about golfers head speed, age, distance etc. They came to the conclusion for this new design that this driver should provide the best performance at an average club head speed (40 - 43 m/s), unlike previous Titleist Drivers which were made for faster swinging and better players. Tileist Japan’s development team with joint cooperation from Titleist America sought to create a high performance Titleist driver with a focus on flying distance.

The VG3 was actually in development for almost a year and, through constant testing, and trial and error, Titleist created a driver with a Variable Gravity and CG position based on loft that would maximize the ability for the driver to grab the ball with clean impact creating maximum distance.  The new Variable Gravity 3 or VG3 was born.

Without changing the head shape or size, Titleist alters the center of gravity on each loft (9, 10 and 11*) using two weight plates towards the back heel of the driver.  The weight plates on the sole were designed to look like the tips of two Japanese swords pointing at one another. As you can see from the different positioning of the weights, the 9* is towards the heel but more forward creating a smaller gravity angle and a shallower CG point. While heel weight typically promotes a draw in this case it actually aids to battle the left side as the shorter gravity angle does not rotate square as fast as a larger one. The 10* places more weight further back to increase the gravity angle and push CG back but not as far as the 11* which is the high launch max carry model of the 3 with the CG back and big gravity angle that squares the face quickly for those slicers or those looking for a draw ball.

The sweet spot was also designed to match the typical strike pattern of the average Japanese golfer.  Using the date Titleist Japan collected over years from hundreds of average golfers, they determined that by widening the sweet spot towards the heel lower, this increased the smash factor of the balls hit off center. The weighting coupled with the sweet spot allow average golfers to maximize distance, in other words, straight with optimal spin and carry.

Titleist did not stop there as they know as well as anyone that a good shaft contributes to a good club so they worked to creat 3 stock shaft offers that will suit players looking for different kinds of trajectories and styles of ball flight. The Yellow line in the chart represents the Motore 5.0 which is made for a draw ball and a distance focus. The red line represents the VG50 shaft made for high launch and max carry for those who have trouble getting the ball in the air or simply want to carry it as far as possible.  The blue line is the VG60 which is the heaviest and lowest torque stock shaft and produces a lower more penetrating flight with a focus on control.

The Titleist VG3 features a premium forged titanium multi piece head with cup face and square face angle.

The VG3 begins shipping mid to late March 2010 so any orders before then are pre orders.

Mitsubishi Rayon introduces Fubuki Alpha, the next generation in the Fubuki Series. The Alpha’s profile utilizes an enhanced version of the original MD Tip Technology application that was first used by Mitsubishi in 2009 to launch the Fubuki TOUR profile that registered 5 official driver shaft victories on the PGA TOUR and European Tour combined in only its first season on Tour1. The second profile also includes a new application of the MD Technology along the entire length of the shaft, to increase torsional stability not offered on the original.

With a bend profile designed utilizing Mitsubishi Rayon’s propriety swing analysis software, the Fubuki Alpha series delivers smooth acceleration, increased stability at impact and slightly lower launch and spin than the original Fubuki Tour profile.

MD Technology
For the Fubuki Alpha series, Mitsubishi has refined the original MD Technology that creates a hinge like effect, in order to deliver a combination of high launch and low spin in a traditional tip-stiff Tour-proven bend profile. To improve upon the original application, Mitsubishi identified and selected custom fibers by shaft flex Regular, Stiff, X-Stiff, to optimize performance for each player. For shaft flexes typically used by players with higher swing speeds, Mitsubishi combined higher modulus carbon fibers to prevent too high of a launch. And for shaft flexes typically used by players with slower swing speeds, Mitsubishi used standard modulus carbon fibers to prevent too low a spin number while optimizing flight, trajectory and angle of descent.  This refinement has been applied by flex in the same way for all weights 50g, 60g, 70g.

Bend Profile
This state of the art profile incorporates an extreme shift in the mid-section, in addition to a butt section that has tapering butt stiffness. This combination provides even the most demanding player a shaft profile that generates smooth acceleration through impact and maximum stability and control.
