Gain 40 Yards with the Correct Spin Loft 

I know, their channel has totally changed my game

Without a launch monitor, like the trackman, you won't be able to have concrete data to look at when practice your AoA. Instead, you will have to assume your swing speed is staying roughly consistent and try to watch your ball flight. Pay attention to how high it goes, is it a flat trajectory or getting steep quick? You will have to do it the old fashion way and figure out the ideal trajectory for your given swing speed, and once you can consistently produce an ideal AoA you can figure out the exact loft driver you should be playing for this swing.

for irons i've heard you want to have a zero angle of attack (even with the ground at impact) and a somewhat high dynamic loft by having enough foward shaft lean by having the hands at the left thigh at impact. this will minimize spin and maximize compression and distance. keep in mind that hitting the ball this way you will be bruising the grass in front of the ball but not taking a divot.

this is not about fixes its about purely numbers because a fix is very individual, at least you get to understand the reason of your problems from a physical standpoint, biomechanics are the other end of the issue

Open clubface and negative AoA? Try doing the opposite of that

He played on the PGA tour.....so it's faked

he was showing what an average club golfer does. of course he can do better

I think he is dialling back on speed to be equivalent to the average golfer swing speed for this vid

stop the negative crap, eggface.

He can control his swing speed very good I would say.

Because they're trying to sell a $20k piece of equipment lol.

valid point

BUT he hit it high in the face which will result in LESS spin so id guess the numbers add up

He played on the PGA tour.....so it's faked

Yeah it’s clear he was just doing it on purpose. And that’s the sign of a truly skilled golfer.

which increases the spin loft if angle of attack remains the same ;-(

CamelCase Yeah especially since it costs them all of about 500 dollars to have it made. They have some strong patents on their technology that will carry them well into the 2030's so there doesn't seem to be any relief insight.

it does if your impact conditions are correct.

Jeff OK Jeff i will give you that. I hit the ball very straight and have a swing speed avg 95 mph. Can only get 7-11 more mph by pushing it. They always tell me on the launch monitors, Oh you should be getting much more distance if only you had less backspin. It drives me nuts i hit it straight as an arrow and 210, 215, carry. Also i think many of the teaching gurus are overstating the distance a golfer can get.

Here are 3 things you can try that might add more yard to your drives: 1. of course make sure you're hitting the sweet spot (if you're measuring your drives on a launch monitor, how's your smash factor? it should be over 1.45 and close to 1.5. 2. your launch angle might be too low. most weekend players launch too low resulting in shorter carry distances. 3. you might try using a softer compression ball, like a callaway supersoft or wilson duo. i swing at about 100 and am surprised how far those balls fly.

Jeff Thanks, i will check out the numbers this week.

Multiply clubhead speed by 2.75 and that's your distance with launch angle, spin rate, smash factor being perfect.

Obviously, he swung that speed on purpose. The whole point of the video was to show how the launch angle and spin rate affects the average club player when hitting the driver.
