Our driving range bays are all fully open despite social distancing, since our bays are far apart enough to comply fully with social distancing requirements. So, unless your clubs are made for you, there is a good chance that you can get more out of your swing. I always believe that club fitting is the process of giving the golfer back what is owed to them.Įven if your clubhead speed is high, you'll lose distance and direction because your shaft isn't made for you. Hint: it’s all about repetitions and building confidence. This week, Golfweek ‘s Averee Dovsek explains what she does to improve and increase her clubhead speed when practicing for competitions and in her improvement season. The latter is a function of head weight, shaft length, if the shaft is cut from the tip or the heel, etc. There are a lot of key components to hitting bombs, but your hands, arms and wrists do the majority of the work. Finally the spin should only be on the horizontal axis so your ball goes straight!Īnd that is a function of your natural swing, and how your shaft flexes. Your angle of attack should launch the ball between 10-14 degrees, and you should generate a spin rate of 1900-2900 RPM. Then you need to transfer the energy correctly. 95 mph would need 1.42 smash (excellent strike) to hit 135 MPH 100 mph would need 1.35 (only 0. Which means with GC excellent strike is 1.45 smash, wheras same would read 1.50 on TM. There’s no point in swinging perfectly if your shaft is flexing in different directions every time. There is a consistent difference between how Trackman and GC Quad measure club head speed. Good impact is a combination of your swing mechanics, and getting a good consistent shaft. With a modern clubhead, 110 mph clubhead speed, if you make good impact, should launch your ball at around 160 mph. Your swing speed energy needs to transfer well into ball flight energy and then into the right type of energy.įirst, transferring energy well means good impact. So why don’t we see that many golfers driving 280 meters?īecause it’s not only about clubhead speed. The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. That’s 3 in every foursome where only 1 guy can’t hit a 280 meter drive! When you look at golfers 17-29 years old, over 75% of those golfers had clubhead speeds of over 108 mph! Statistically, at least 1 of every foursome! That’s a quarter of golfers in that age range who should be able to drive 280 meters. In a survey of 95 golfers aged 30-50 years old, the fastest 24 golfers had a clubhead speed of 108 mph or higher. So I joked that it was going to be a 108 day. Super Speed Golf consists of three training clubs one is 20 lighter than a normal driver, another is 10 lighter, and one is 5 heavier. (Had to say that in case they come looking for me after reading this…)įirst hole, 2 of my flight mates rip 280 meter drives.įrom my years of fitting, I know their clubhead speed at impact must be at least 108 mph. So, on the 19 th hole, the number 108 came up a couple of times. Lock down’s over, the golf courses are open, and a lot of us haven’t played golf in some time. Is clubhead speed the key to driving distance? It's a combination of a few factors, and applying science to your swing, every golfer can improve on those.ĭid you manage to get back on the course over the weekend?
