Think of it as golf's secret sauce. Loft is the extra oomph that a club adds to your shot, propelling your ball upwards as if it has dreams of joining the stars. It's the club's way of giving your ball wings.Lon
There are four different golf wedges commonly found on the market today, all differentiated by one key element: loft. Golf wedge loft is the primary factor that plays into wedge shot trajectory. A wedge with a higher degree of loft from another will get the ball up in the air faster, whi...
I knew my gap between 5 and 6 iron was large, but it wasn't until I went out this spring to create an updated distance chart for all my clubs (it's been years since I made my last one) that I realized just how big a problem there was and looked to find the cause. It's ...
LOFTWhether you’re swinging full or trying to control a 3/4 or 1/2 shot, distance control is everything inside 100 yards. When you pull a wedge, you should be able to trust that the ball will go the distance you need it to. It’s imperative that you can not only cover any ...
8 of them were in the 8 degree area. Those are not driver lofts for slow swing speeds. Slow swingers need higher lofts and softer shafts. That’s not what you measured. Your tables helped me not at all!,, I hit one driver ranked in the 30’s for distance 10 yards longer (...
I can either get the ball to drop close enough to hit the net or maybe catch the lowest 10 feet of net. My goal is, of course, to clear the net, or least hit it high enough that I can expect another 10 or 20 yards of ball flight (carry distance). Based on the chart inthis ...
club. Below look at the 4 (green circle) and 5 iron (yellow circle). I used the 5 iron as a 3/4 swing on the 4 iron. You can see the clear control on different swings. Granted this is not an example of chipping but I could do the same thing on distance control with my ...
The chart below highlights the differences. The stronger Paradym X’s loft difference should have an impact on the overall distance of the Paradym X’s. Callaway suggests that their frame construction, thin forged 455 face and tungsten weighting yields higher launch conditions and greater ...
A first approach is to extend a chord from one side of a dimple to another side and then measure the maximum distance from that chord to the bottom of the dimple. This is referred to herein as a “chordal depth.” Alternatively, another approach is to extend an imaginary line ...
of Japan. This Miya Computer Shot Analyzer 10 records speed, angle, distance, deflection and path in multiple display functions. A comparable unit (current or future) could be used for the testing. Initially, my swing shaft/selection analyzer will record the speed of the swing at impact using...
