The Iron Byron doesn look anything like a human golfer, so how can it possibly be used as a model for learning the perfect golf swing?
A. Although at first glance the Iron Byron doesn’t look like a human, you have to keep in mind that it was modeled after the swing of golfing legend Byron Nelson … so a similarity was definitely intended by George Manning and his team of engineers when they built the machine. In order to see the similarity, you just have to look at it in a different way. There is a motor beneath the machine’s arm that turns a drive shaft that’s directly connected to the arm … so when the motor turns the drive shaft, it causes the arm to move and start the club swinging down. The arm cannot move independently of the drive shaft. It can only move if the motor powers the drive shaft. The first big difference to understand between man and the machine is that the machine’s legs do NOT represent the golfer’s legs; it is the machine’s motor that represents the golfer’s legs. The machine’s drive shaft is equivalent to the golfer’s upper body, and the single metal arm is equivalent to the golfer’s fully ext
