A New Technology that has been introduced and has revolutionized the golf equipment industry is the Iron Byron. The machine is used by the United States Golf Association and top industry premier manufactures to design and test club designs to bring the best product to you the consumer.

 

The Iron Byron is actually named after the most consistent player in history, the Great Byron Nelson. Legend had it that Byron's swing was so consistent and perfect that only a machine could be as accurate shot per shot. Although this is a bit of a exaggeration the real man was perhaps the greatest in consistency. The Machine Iron Byron can swing a documented ten thousand times. It is said that they have to replace the centerline turf every few months as the balls hitting the same spot thousands of times wears it out.

 

Iron Byron is not an anthropod meaning it isn't a human shaped machine. Although it is a design is based on three basic movements that mirror that of the golf swing. The movements are Rotation, Angle, and Hinge. The swivel is built on a base that is a floor mounted pedestal 4-5 feet tall with a pivot at the top of the triangle. The Angle is translated by the positing of the club in relation to the ground up. The Hinge is part of the machine that simulates the wrists. All of these parts are used to articulate and mimic the dimensions and motion of a human swing.

This information technology tool really has brought about the dramatic changes we see today in the golf club industry. This change really has pushed the limits and from finding the results with such consistency club manufactures are able to regulate and produce the best product possible for us the end users.
