Research & Development

Shuffle board is not only a sport of leasure, but it involves precision, accuracy, and science.

People once thought that the world was flat, until Columbus bravely crossed the boundaries of mystery. The shuffleboard industry was once laden with ignorance and unknown phenomena. Through the fortitude and forsight of SHNOG, grant money was allocated to dispell these mysteries.

Much research has been done, namely these fields:

Puck longevity composition
Maximizing glut:shoulder ratio
Ultralight carbon alloy stick composites
Meteorological effects on friction:hydroplane ratio
Puck weight vs. thickness related to density
Injuries and prevention thereof
Standardization of shuffleboard equipment

All over the nation classrooms and bookstores have been buzzing with this new information. However there is still much to be learned.

Here at Beaufort, NC, our team of scientists and lab technicians have been working around the clock to improve the game and foster its growth. The first ever released pictures of their work are now available for the world to see:

Class time: students are the teachers

Lab work: acidic effects on polycarbonate alloys

A generous donation from the late Lord Gravely has enabled SHNOG to build a new research facility in Toronto. This state of the art facility has enabled SHNOG to make mind boggling shuffleboard breakthroughs. Come and visit us at the Shovelgroat Research Center.

Millions in grant money is now available. Please send all applications to Danny Rosenthal.
