The Discovery
In July of 1997, I made the greatest physics discovery in the history of golf. I discovered a new lever system that allows golfers to hit golf balls farther and straighter with virtual elimination of strain on the back and shoulders. In less than 30 days, any golfer can develop a repeatable mechanical motion that will allow for consistent, accurate golf shots for the rest of his or her life. My new training device (patent pending) forces the correct motion to be made. The following is part of the original write up of my discovery, as sent to the attorneys, for the purpose of patenting the training device, the mechanics of the stroke, and the teaching method.

The Traditional Golf Stroke
In the traditional golf stroke (1920 to 1997), the optimum lever system used to generate clubhead speed has been a two lever system.

The first lever is the left arm (red-triceps; blue-forearms). The second lever is the club (green and black). The physics principle is : 1. A straight left arm-creating a lever the length of the left arm (26" to 36"). 2. A delay of releasing the angle between the left arm and the shaft until the last possible fraction of a second before impact. The positive of this system is that it is capable of generating very high clubhead speed.

There are four main negatives to the traditional system.

First, accuracy is obtainable by less that 5% of the golfers who use it. The average score for male golfers for the last 100 years has been 97. The problem with accuracy is mainly due to the infinite degrees of motion in the left wrist during the swing. These infinite degrees of motion make it virtually impossible to consistently square the clubface at impact.

Second, major strain is placed on the back. With a five iron, there is over 8 times your body weight (as much as 1700 lbs) on the lower lumbar spine at the top of the backstroke and at the follow through.

Third, there is major strain on the shoulder rotator cuff muscles. Injuries to the rotator cuff muscles are well documented. These injuries are caused by the straight left arm and the torquing of the upper body against the lower body during the backstroke. When you start the downstroke with the lower body, tremendous strain is placed on the left shoulder rotator cuff muscles.

Fourth, the muscles that bring a straight left arm down during the downstroke are in an extremely disadvantaged mechanical position. The amount of torque provided is very limited. Therefore, the left arm is limited to a support function.

Jack Kuykendall's Discovery
Because a straight left arm and a late delay are correct physics for the traditional version of a two lever system, I had not been looking for a different lever arrangement that might be even more effective. The discovery of an improved lever system happened while trying to cure a fault that the majority of amateurs possess - mainly, the bending of the back of the left hand (at the wrist joint) toward the outside of the left forearm as the clubhead goes through impact. About a year ago, I built a device to restrict the left wrist from bending in any direction. I used the device for chipping only as it caused the left arm to bend at the left elbow and did not allow for any wrist cock of the left hand. This was perfect for chipping. I had not given a thought about or tried to use the device for a full stroke. I believed that the left wrist must cock and form as large an angle as possible between the shaft and the left forearm in order to generate maximum clubhead speed.While trying to simplify the device for production as a chipping aid, I made one that had an angle of about 10 degrees between the left forearm and the shaft. This was to reduce the straight line of the left forearm and shaft in the original versions. I started taking some longer shots, using a 60 degree wedge. I let the left arm bend at the elbow and moved the right hand as close to the right shoulder as possible. Around July 15, while working with the device, I made a different motion from the top of the backstroke. I moved the right hand directly away form my body instead of down. There was an instantaneous explosion of clubhead speed and accuracy. The ball flew almost twice as high as my normal wedge and had the same distance. After about an hour of working on this new motion, the light bulb in the brain went off. I had discovered a new and more effective lever system. The following picture and drawing will illustrate my discovery.

Lever-Power Golf TM

When my new training device is placed on the left arm and a backstroke is taken, the left arm bends at the left elbow through 90 degrees and the left wrist does not move in any direction. This creates a lever system that has never been used in the history of golf! The left triceps (Red) becomes one lever and the left forearm (blue) and the club (green & black) become the second lever. Now the powerful triceps muscles are moving a longer lever. Greater clubhead speed is produced with considerably less effort. Since there is virtually no movement of the left wrist, the clubface is substantially easier to have square at impact. Amateurs can now consistently hit LONGER and more accurate shots with minimal practice. Since the left arm bends, torque is virtually eliminated from the back and shoulders.
