GOLF SHAFT : TORQUE 球桿身的扭力

TORQUE OF THE SHAFT:

Sometimes player can see "low torque" or measurement of torque written on the shaft. (torque 3.2) Actually, it means the resistance to the twisting during a golf swing. The torque is measure in "degree". The degree means how much the head actually most likely will turn during the swing. For instance, a shaft with torque of 4.5 will turn most up to 4.5 degree open and close during a complete swing. A higher torque also give a player a softer feel during the impact.
By theory, shaft with lower torque are thought to be higher performance and more forgiving. And with higher torque are thought to be longer in distance because the extra "twist" power.
Most of the more flexible usually has higher torque. The reason is to kick the ball further also provide a softer feel of the impact.
For most of the golfer. A male beginner should use a lower torque for the shaft because usually a man try to "hit it hard" in the swing. Also, a lower torque can help a golfer to "feel the shock" when a impact. A female or senior most likely to use a lite shaft with higher torque because most of them don't want to feel like "hitting something" and "shock the hands". Plus the extra twist "might" help a bit at distance.


高爾夫球 球桿的扭力

桿身扭力“torque”代表球桿的轉幅度(或有些人叫剛硬性)，它的測量方式是角度。扭力值愈低表示球桿〈球頭〉的轉幅度愈小，擊球的安定性愈好(理論上)但是也因此而反震力也較高。而扭力較高的球桿擊中球時，打球者較不會從手上感到震盪，而且理論上有可以有打到較遠的距離。
比方說，一個球桿它的扭力是4.5度, 在上竿的時候球頭會比一個2.5度扭力的打的更開。另外一方面如果打擊到球的那一煞那，如果沒有擊到中心而打到偏外。扭力高的球桿會更容易打出偏外的球路。
通常男性球友剛開始學時最好那扭力較小的桿子。因為可以感到"打擊到球"，也讓那些打的不是很準的球不要偏太多。而女性球友或年長的球友拿扭力較高的球桿可以打的更輕鬆和幫助打更遠。
