Welcome to the weeds. In this 8hr hands-on heavy workshop, we’ll delve into the details on every aspect of conventional irons work. Learn the physics and physiology in depth, then put it into practice with an array of accelerometers, load cells, cameras, and more, measuring every aspect of the force with real time feedback. Challenge assumptions and dogma with data, and come away with hard answers, not opinions. Test and prove a huge variety of tools and techniques, from the common to the obscure. Course includes 2 hours of lecture and 6 hours of hands-on lab work.
