Speaking o f golf shafts!

THERE'S more talk about golf shafts these days than at any time since True Temper first introduced the famous Step Down® steel

shaft. Main reason, of course, is the coming of the aluminum shaft.

Not that the aluminum shaft is any news to us. Recent development of new aluminum alloys for aircraft and space programs has made it possible for True Temper engineers to culminate more than 20 years of aluminum shaft research with quantity production of aluminum shafts which meet our high standards for steel shafts. And — as the club makers and the pros know — those are mighty high standards.

A True Temper steel shaft answers the club designer's needs for a club that hits true, hits far with the proper flexibility control, the proper feel.

Nor are we resting on our medal score. Using the new Mar-Aging stainless steel alloy (Almar® 362 — an aerospace product of Allegheny Ludlum) True Temper is developing a stainless steel shaft with such superior corrosion resistance it can almost be called a "lifetime" shaft.

In all this persistent striving to support the club maker's effort to help you play better golf, True Temper makes use of the most advanced research and engineering tools and techniques.

These include the new True Temper Golf Club Testing Device (lower left) which exactly reproduces the classic pro-golfer's swing, time after time, allowing completely scientific analysis of shaft performance.

What should you know about golf shafts? Without sounding too much like a hole-in-one golfer — let's just say this: Whatever material your club shafts are made of — if they're made by True Temper, they're the finest modern science can develop and modern production engineering can turn out.

It's always a good idea to ask for clubs with shafts by...

Fitting clubs the'mod'way

New machine not only aids the pro

in teaching, it helps him determine the correct

dub specifications for the pupil

T h e golf pro may just have found a friend for life. The owner of a new machine called the Swing Re-corder, already patented, claims to have put the tricky and compli-cated question of club fitting on a reliable basis.

The pro merely follows the read-ings of computerized charts, called Photoanalytical Club Fitting Analy-sis Charts. These charts are en-cased in plastic and bolted to the machine and enable him to record the results of a golfer's perfor-mance with a variety of clubs as measured by photoanalytical po-laroid shots.

The golfers performance as to his impact speed, clubshaft flex and loft are carefully recorded on the charts until the proper com-bination gives him the optimum trajectory. He thus has in his hands an exact and clearly understandable series of records of what his best fitted club will do for him on the average. The machine will also help to determine which club is best for the golfer.

The device is electric and works best indoors. It is 18 inches wide, nine inches deep, 40 inches high and weighs 65 lbs. The pro can also use the machine to give his lessons.

One example of its use in teach-ing is illustrated in figure 1. The action of the golfer can be stopped motionless at any point and can be viewed by the student, with his instructor interpreting his action.

All the theories developed and later embodied in the charts were actually tested on the driving range

Figure 1. The sensitivity and accuracy of machine enables the most critical action of the golfer to be stopped and viewed. Clubhead speed above was 88 mph; carry 180 yards.

and were very accurate in their predictions, it is reported. Golfers, from the average to the touring pro, were subjected to these meth-ods and their performances were accurately measured while they hit shots on the range. These shots c o m p a r e d with the predic ted results.

The machine's inventor is E.J. Betinis. He possesses a background in mathematical physics and com-puter analysis and has played golf for about 25 years. •

That de Vicenzo card is some-thing for the USGA Golf House museum.

Bob Jones, The Greatest, was not able to get out on the course or on TV to be seen by the mil-lions to whom he still is golf's "verray parfit gentil knight" . . . Many to whom Jones is Top Man in golf history never saw him play . . . Bob is in bad physical condition but sfill the same bril-liant personality mentally.

The Golf Writers' annual tour-nament and party at the Dunes Club at Myrtle Beach, S.C., is the best of all sports writers' affairs, even though the multi-millionaires who've gone into pro football, baseball, basketball, hockey, etc., have presented some gorgeous wing-dings . . . This affair, just as a pre-Masters gathering of the golf writers, got millions of dollars in nationwide space for Myrtle Beach and made the place the number one stop for golfers between Florida and the northern courses . . . When there was a rumor that Myrtle Beach might not want the writers there were a half dozen Carolinas and Georgia coastal golf resorts eager to be hosts to golf's ink-stained wretches.

But the Dunes Founding Fathers received the Yankee migrants the week-end before the Masters with the old southern hospitality and ab-solutely the best coastal cooking this side of Marseilles . . . Bob Drum in conducting the auction with Seagram, Schenley, National, as co-sponsors, did his funniest and most beguilding job . . . Des Sulli-van of the Newark (N.J.) News was winner of the Harlow trophy for low gross with a one-over-par 73 and nobody was sore or wanted to check thescorecard . . . There was a bronze memorial tablet presented to Charley Bartlett . . . It noted his performance of taking 22 at the Dunes 13th home . . . Bob Drum wrote the inscription which ended with something about Father Bart-lett counting every stroke . . . Charley always did that . . . The Drum inscription was a pretty thing that should go with that Granny Rice poem about the great scorer.

advertising I've seen this spring are the golf columns that are being written for small town papers . . . As for instance, that column John DanieJson has been writing for the Lake City (Fla.) Reporter . . . He's making steady golfers out of many Yankee immigrants . . . And prov-ing himself decidedly a community asset . . . Last winter and early spring we heard from a lot of pros who were teaching high school night classes in golf to older men and women who soon were to retire and wanted to take up golf . . . The way I've seen it is that the girls past 60 who have started golf in California, Arizona and Florida quickly get better than elderly male beginners.

Speaking of the always-young-folks Jack Redmond, the veteran trick shot artist, is on his eighth around-the-world tour . . . Red-mond has performed in 97 coun-tries . . . Kenneth M.
