There isn’t a Tour player alive who doesn’t know his swing measurements by heart. Following their lead can be the next big step you take in your quest for lower scores. The trick: understanding the numbers so you know what works and what doesn’t. Focus on the following:
This is largely considered one of the main indicators of a golfer’s true potential. Whether you want to bounce the ball, make it stop on a dime, or hit the sunlight, you need speed. Obviously, the more mph the better.
Spin values ​​say a lot about the quality of your shot. They are also key parameters to consider if a club is a good fit for a player. Also critical is the axis on which the ball rotates, so pay attention to this.
A consistent spin measurement is evidence of a repeatable ball flight, regardless of whether it’s straight, lean or pulled.
This value is essentially a measurement of swing efficiency: ball speed divided by clubhead speed. An optimal one impact factor for a driver it is approximately 1.48 to 1.51; Your aim with, say, a 6-iron should be about 1.35 to 1.4. Smash tells you how hard you are hitting the ball and, more importantly, if the contact is around the sweet spot.
