This sport originated in England in the 1880’s. This was placed by rich Victorians who wanted to play a game indoors.

During that time, books served as the net, a knot of string or champagne cork was used as a ball and a cigarette box lid was the paddle. Pretty primitive back then but people enjoyed it even if the ball did not bounce that well.

Performance Bicycles: What Is Performance?

In order to talk about performance bicycles, we should define the term. We all know what bicycle means, but what about performance? I think that many people tend to define the word performance as the ability to offer top performance, meaning top speeds, top maneuverability, top smooth mechanical functioning.

While all of those minor definitions certainly pertain to an overall concept of performance, I’d like to offer another view of performance as related to bicycles.

Golf Clubs Sets Helped Achieve Consistent Play

In the early days of golf, drivers and irons were made differently and there was no such thing as matched golf club sets prior to 1919. Drivers typically had wood shafts with irons made of wood or steel, but each club was designed slightly differently as each golfer’s swing was different and they would hit the ball with different styles. Having an iron equally as weighted as an iron was not considered important in the early days.

In 1919, the A.G. Spalding company, now a part of Top Flight, a subsidiary of Calloway Golf, introduced the first matched golf club sets, setting the stage for the belief that a matched set of clubs was necessary for a golfer to play consistently. Each club in the golf club sets was designed with the same materials and appearance that there could be a consistency in the weight of the head, the head speed at impact as well as in how the club sliced through the air.
