Uphawu lwe Footjoy
I-Footjoy sisinxibo segalufa seprimiyamu, izihlangu, iiglavu kunye nenkampani yezixhobo. I-Footjoy izibalule ngaphezu kwayo yonke into kwizihlangu zegalufa, apho ibiyinkokeli kwimarike yobuchwephesha ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-60! Izicathulo ze-Footjoy ziye zaba ngumgangatho xa kuziwa kwinduduzo, ukusebenza kunye nesitayela.

Ukuphucula umdlalo wakho kwaye ufumane okona kulungileyo ukubamba, iFootjoy ibonelela ngoluhlu olubanzi lweeglavu zesikhumba. iiglavu ezikumgangatho ophezulu zazo zonke iisayizi kunye nemibala echasene namanzi kunye nokubila kwaye igcina yonke induduzo eyimfuneko yokudlala iiyure ekupheleni.

Uphawu lwe-Footjoy luluhlu olubanzi lwempahla yegalufa, ukusuka kwiihempe ukuya kwiibhulukhwe ezimfutshane kunye neebhulukhwe, zombini ezikumgangatho ophezulu, ezintle kwaye zisebenza kakuhle.

Ke ukuba ezona mveliso zithembekileyo zeFootjoy ngezihlangu zabo zegalufa, kutheni kungenjalo?

 
Ulonwabo lweenyawo, ubuchule bokuyila kwinkonzo yegalufa
Kwakungowe-1857 apho iBurt kunye nePackard Shoe Company yadalwa eBrockton, Massachusetts, eyathi kamva yaba yiNkampani yeField and Flint. Ngokukhawuleza i-brand yabonwa ngabaqeqeshi begalufa kwaye yaba sisicathulo esisemthethweni seqela le-American Ryder Cup elikhokelwa ngukapteni uWalter Hagen.

Ukusukela ngo-1945, uFootjoy waba lolona hlobo lukhoyo kwisekethe ye-American PGA Tour kwaye iya kuhlala injalo kude kube namhlanje. Kuya kuba yimfuneko ukulinda i-80s ukuba inkampani ithathe ngokuqinisekileyo igama langoku elithi Footjoy.

Emva kokuba isalathiso kwibala lezihlangu zegalufa, uFootjoy wagqiba ekubeni aqalise iiglavu ngo-1979. Ngokuthe kancinci emva konyaka, iiglavu ze-Sta-Sof zaba yinombolo 1 kwiiglavu zegalufa. Ndiyabulela kwintsebenziswano kunye ne-English Pittards, i-Footjoy ngumenzi weglavu wokuqala ukusebenzisa ufele lwe-hydrophobic, oko kukuthi, ukungangeni kwamanzi, ukuguqulwa kwexesha!

Inkampani yakwaFootjoy iyaqhubeka nomfutho wayo kwaye ingena kwishishini leekawusi eliya kuba licandelo labo lesithathu lomsebenzi. Ngo-1990, uguqulo lwesibini lwetekhnoloji, uFootjoy waphehlelela iigloves zokwenziwa zemicrofiber: iWeatherSof.

Kwiminyaka engama-30 kamva, iWeatherSof ihlala iyeyona glavu zokwenziwa zakha zenziwa. Banokumelana okuphezulu kakhulu kwamanzi kwaye banokubamba okumangalisayo. Iya kuba yeyona modeli ithengiswa kakhulu ngalo lonke ixesha kwaye iya kuba luphawu lweegloves zegalufa.

Ngo-1996 iFootjoy yathengisa iglavu yayo yezigidi ezingama-50. Uthathe ithuba lokukhulula iimodeli ezimbini ezintsha: iWinter-Sof, iiglavu ezifudumeleyo zexesha lasebusika kunye neRain Grip yemozulu yemvula.
Ngo-1997, iFootjoy yaziqhubela kwisinxibo segalufa, ngakumbi ngempahla yemvula kunye ne-100% yefashoni yabasetyhini.
Ngeminyaka yoo-2000, iFootjoy iyaqhubeka nokwenza izinto ezintsha ngokukhawuleza nangokukhawuleza. Izihlangu zesikhumba ze-Footjoy ziye zingabi namanzi kwaye zikhululekile kwaye zilula ngakumbi. I-brand emva koko yafumana irekhodi le-51,9% yesabelo semarike ngo-2004 kwiiglavu zegalufa, likwabhiyozela ukuthengiswa kweglavu yalo ye-100 lesigidi!

I-Footjoy emva koko iphonononga uluhlu lwayo lwezihlangu ukuze kuphunyezwe iteknoloji entsha yeFlextability ethi inyuse kakhulu uzinzo lwegalufa ngexesha lokujingi. Idityaniswe nesakhiwo sokuzinza se-Tri-Lateral, i-golfer ngoku iyakwazi ukubonisa onke amandla ayo ngaphandle kokuhamba kweentshukumo ze-parasitic.

Ngokwakhela kumava ayo kwiimpahla zemvula, uFootjoy usungule ingqokelela epheleleyo yeengubo zegalufa zamadoda ngo-2012 kumazwe ehlabathi jikelele.

Ukutyhubela iminyaka iFootjoy izimise njengenkokeli yehlabathi kurhwebo lwezihlangu zegalufa kunye neeglavu, ngaphandle kokuyeka ukwenza izinto ezintsha. Izicathulo ziba lula, ukubamba kwazo kuyaqhubeka nokuphucula kwaye iiglavu ze-Footjoy zikhululekile kwaye zisebenza kakuhle.

Namhlanje uphawu lweFootjoy lunezixhobo ezixhotyiswe ngetekhnoloji eyodwa kwaye ibali lisekude ukuphela.

I-PING ngumvelisi owaziwayo waseMelika wezixhobo zegalufa kunye nezixhobo ezise Phoenix, eArizona.
Imbali yophawu
IPing Golf yasekwa nguKarsten Solheim. Kwakusekuqaleni kwee-60s, emva komsebenzi wobunjineli kunye noMbane oMkhulu, apho waqala khona ukwenza ii-putters kwigaraji yakhe e-Redwood City, eCalifornia. Ngo-1967, wayeka umsebenzi wakhe kwiGeneral Electric ukuze aphuhlise inkampani yePING.
Iputter yasentsomini
Injineli yoMbane Jikelele yenza iputter entsha ebizwa ngokuba yi "PING 1A" kwigaraji yakhe. Esikhundleni sokulungisa isibambo seklabhu kwisithende se-blade, wayilungisa phakathi. Wasebenzisa imigaqo yenzululwazi kuyilo lweeklabhu zegalufa, ezixhomekeke kakhulu kulingo kunye nempazamo, ukuhambisa obuninzi bobunzima be-clubhead ukuya ngaphandle kwayo ukuze isasazwe ngobuninzi obungcono.

Igama elithi "PING" livela kwisandi awasiva uSolheim xa iklabhu yakhe ibetha ibhola yakhe. Imvumi yegalufa edumileyo uMurray Arnold wathi ngo-1960 intloko yeqela, xa ibetha ibhola, iphinda ithethe ngethowuni engama-440 esetyenziselwa ukulungisa ipiyano.
Uloyiso lokuqala
Uloyiso lokuqala lwePGA Tour usebenzisa i-PING club yayingo-1962 kwisimemo seCajun Classic Open nguJohn Barnum.
Ukusungula izinto ezintsha
U-Ping wayengumvelisi wokuqala ukubonelela ngeeklabhu zegalufa ezikumgangatho ophezulu usebenzisa i-castings echanekileyo, eneendleko eziphantsi, ukulawula ngcono umgangatho wemisebenzi ye-high-tech.

Ukuququzelela ukulungelelaniswa kweeklabhu zesiko (Ukufaniswa), i-Ping yenza iintloko zeeklabhu zentsimbi ezinenotshi encinci kuyo. Inotshi ivumela intloko yeklabhu ukuba ilungiswe kwiinkcukacha ezifunekayo ngaphandle komngcipheko wokuyiphula.
Namhlanje
Namhlanje i-Ping iyafana nokusungula, umgangatho kunye nenkonzo kwihlabathi legalufa. NgoJanuwari 2014, inkampani yamisela irekhodi yezihloko ezili-14 kwiGolf Digest yodumo “Uludwe Olushushu” (oluvuza awona maqela abalaseleyo). I-Ping yayiluphawu lokuqala ukuba nekhowudi yombala yokwenza iiklabhu ezenziwe ngomthungo ngokomzimba womdlali ngamnye kwaye ihleli nanamhla iluphawu lweengcali zeeklabhu ezenziwe ngomthungi.

Kwakungowe-1979 apho umthengisi wezixhobo zegalufa ogama linguGary Adams waseka iTaylorMade Golf Company. Uthatha imali-mboleko emalunga namashumi amabini amawaka eedola kwaye aqalise ukuzonwabisa.
Okokuqala, urenta isakhiwo esikhulu esasinendawo yokuhlanganisa umabonwakude ngelo xesha.
Iqesha abasebenzi abathathu kwaye igxile kwimveliso enye entsha: A 12 degree stainless steel Driver.
Lo mthi omtsha wesinyithi wawuyinguqu encinane xa kuthelekiswa nabaqhubi bexesha. Okubaluleke ngakumbi, kwasebenza ngokuhlukileyo ... Ngokwenene, i-TaylorMade clubhead yokulinganisa i-perimeter weighting ibonelele ukunyamezela okukhulu kwi-off-center shots. Kwakhona, iziko elisezantsi lomxhuzulane liququzelele ukubhabha kwebhola. Ngoko ke ibonelele ngesantya esiphezulu sebhola kwisantya seklabhu efanayo kunye ne-engile yohlaselo.
Ngaxeshanye i-TITLEIST yaqala ukuziseka kwaye izichaza njengomdlali ophambili ekwenzeni nasekuthengiseni iibhola zegalufa. Xa kwangaxeshanye uphawu lwe-PING lusenza i-putter yalo yokuqala kwaye luqala nokuvelisa uthotho lweentsimbi.
Ukusungula izinto ezintsha ngelixa kuhlonitshwa isithethe
Unyana womhlohli wegalufa kwikhosi yendawo yase-Illinois. Waqala njengomthengisi kwiiklabhu zegalufa kwiminyaka yoo-60. UGary Adams ke ngoko wafumana ulwazi oluluqilima lwentengiso yezixhobo zegalufa kunye nezixhobo, ngaphambi kokuba aqalise ukubheja ukuba ubukhulu becala wayelungile ukuzama.
Igalufa yeTaylorMade ibisoloko inyanisekile kwibhongo lomdali wayo:

Dibanisa iinguqulelo ezintsha kunye nokunyaniseka
Ukuba nomdla
Hlala ukhuphisana
Sebenza nzima kwaye ukhule

Namhlanje - iiklabhu zeGalufa kunye neentshatsheli 
Kakade ke, ibali alikapheli. Kwiminyaka engama-40 emva kokudalwa kwayo, uTaylorMade uyonwabele impumelelo enkulu.
Namhlanje kunye nabadlali begalufa ababalaseleyo emhlabeni basebenzisa iiklabhu zegalufa zeTayloMade.
U-Tiger Woods, ophumelele nje kwiiMasters ngo-Augusta kunye nomqhubi we-TaylorMade M5, kodwa kunye noJason Day, uJon Rahm, uRory McIlroy kunye noDustin Johnson. UTaylorMade ubonisa abona basebenzi babalaseleyo kwishishini legalufa.
Kutshanje, iTaylorMade yazisa umhlaba kwilori yayo entsha yoKhenketho.
UTaylorWenze isigebenga sonxibelelwano
Ilori ye-1,6 yezigidi zeerandi, utyalo-mali oluhambelana nento enokwenziwa luphawu ukwenza abathengi baphuphe.Yeyona ilori inkulu ekhoyo kwindawo yokupaka itumente yePGA Tour. Ikhuthazwe kakhulu yinto ekhoyo kwiFomula 1.
Le lori iya kusetyenziswa ngabadlali kwisekethe, hayi nje ukulungiselela iiklabhu, kodwa nokubamkela njengoko TaylorMade ngokuya usebenzisa umfanekiso ezi nkwenkwezi zintlanu, kwaye kwiintengiso ezininzi.
Iinzuzo kukhenketho azinakwahlulwa kwiqhinga likaTaylorMade, kwaye kwasekuqaleni kwembali yayo.
Indlela yokuthengisa iye yavela kancinci, nangona kunjalo, isahlala iyivector eyomeleleyo kuphuhliso lophawu.
Kwiminyaka engama-40 ezayo, kunzima ukubona i-TaylorMade iphula kunye nezinto ezininzi eziphambili zeDNA yayo.
Unikwe ubudlelwane obuluqilima kunye nabadlali abagqwesileyo bokhenketho, ukuthengisa okuhlala kusulungekile, kodwa mhlawumbi kusekwe ngakumbi kwiividiyo kunye neenethiwekhi zentlalo, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuthambekela okuqinileyo kokwenza izinto ezintsha.

Igalufa yaseCallaway yinkampani yaseMelika eyaziwayo ehlala eUnited States eCalifornia. Le nkampani igxile ekuyilweni nasekwenzeni izixhobo zegalufa kunye neemveliso ezininzi eziphuma kuyo. Ke, lo mzi-mveliso uvelisa iiklabhu zegalufa eziphezulu. Iiklabhu ezisebenzayo ekulula ukuzidlala kwaye zihlala zisemngciphekweni wobuchwephesha.

Uhlobo lweGalufa yeCallaway ngokukhawuleza yazimisa njengenkokeli yentengiso kwigiya yegalufa kunye nezixhobo. Luphawu oluhlala lufumaneka kwisekethe yePga kodwa nakwi-European Tour. I-Callaway izakhele igama layo ngokunikezela ngabaqhubi abaneentloko ezibanzi. Yintoni ngelo xesha, yayilutshintsho lokwenyani oluthelekiswa nokufika kweesefu ezinkulu kwintenetya .

Idityaniswe nezinto ezilula ezifana ne-titanium kunye negraphite, aba baqhubi batsha baya kukhawuleza babe yireferensi ebalulekileyo kubo bonke abadlali begalufa kwaye bazuze inkxaso ngamxhelo mnye phakathi kwabangaqeqeshwanga kunye neengcali ngokufanayo. Uphawu lwegalufa yaseCallaway lwalungazukuphelela apho kwaye namhlanje lusinika ii-ayini, iiweji, iinkuni zefarway kunye nempahla yegalufa kunye nezincedisi okanye iibhola zegalufa ... Iiputters ezidumileyo zeOdyssey nazo zezophawu.
IBert Bertha enkulu
Wonke umntu ukhumbula ukufika kwebrendi kunye nomqhubi odumileyo weBig Bertha. Ligama elinikwe yiCallaway Golf ngokubhekiselele kwiLa Grosse Bertha (ngesiJamani: uDicke Bertha) eyayisisiqwenga esikhulu sokudubula esasisetyenziswa ngumkhosi waseJamani ngeMfazwe yokuQala yeHlabathi.
Umqhubi wokuqala weBig Bertha wokuqala waphehlelelwa ngo-1991
 

Ngelo xesha, uyilo lwayo lwalugqalwa lwangoku kakhulu njengoko yayilutshintsho olukhulu kuyilo lweklabhu yegalufa. Yenziwe ngensimbi engenasici kunye nomthamo wentloko ye-190 cm3 yayinomdla. Ngokukodwa njengoko uninzi lwabaqhubi bexesha belusakhiwe ngamaplanga kwaye babene-clubhead encinci kakhulu.

Ukusukela oko kwasungulwa iBig Bertha yoqobo, iCallaway yazisa ezinye iiklabhu zespinoff ezinamagama afanayo. Sikhumbula i "Great Big Bertha" okanye "iBigest Big Bertha" eneenguqulelo zetitanium. Ngo-2003 banikezela nge-"Grand Big Bertha II" kwaye ngo-2004, "i-Big Bertha 454". Baphinde bazisa iiseti ezimbini ezintsha zee-ayini kwiminyaka enye.

Namhlanje umqhubi we-brand ye-brand yi-Epic Flash driver esebenzisa itekhnoloji entsha yeFlash Face, eyilwe kusetyenziswa ubukrelekrele bokwenziwa, ukunceda abadlali begalufa bakhulise isantya kunye nomgama webhola.

Kwiintsimbi, i-Apex 19 ithathwa njengeyona ntsimbi igqwesileyo yomgama omde. Yahlulwa ngomgangatho wayo ophakamileyo, uyilo owenziwe ngesandla kunye nesandi esimangalisayo kunye nokuziva kukhatshwa bubuchule obutsha besantya sebhola, ukubhabha kwebhola kunye netrajectory.
