Hi Everyone
Just looking for some advice and thoughts from people on my numbers, and some trends I am seeing in my numbers.
Had a very interesting session at Warwickshire Golf Sim today due to poor weather, and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Ive been working on my swing recently following a couple of lessons with the ambition of getting my swing better for next season. My index is 0.9 and I want to get closer to scratch, but I know I have a lot of work to do to get to this point.
Im trying to get my strike more optimal, but especially with the driver. My ball flight for too long has been low launching, but "spinny". Im working hard on getting a better launch angle by launching the ball higher but flatter with all clubs, especially driver. Ive been working in the lessons to have more shoulder tilt behind the ball at address, and the club exiting more down the line and higher through impact. Im seeing some good signs already.
With the driver particularly, im struggling. Ive had quite a few Toptracer and Trackman sessions where ive been hovering around a 10 degree launch which I dont feel is optimising my strike.
Today, I got the following numbers after a good batch of 50 or so drives:
AVERAGE CARRY 248.7
AVERAGE TOTAL 267.7
AVERAGE BALLSPEED 152.8
AVERAGE CLUBSPEED 108.0
AVERAGE SPIN 3535
AVERAGE LAUNCH 16.0
I can when I hook things up nicely move my swing up to the 110-112MPH region, but the launch angle then starts to drop around 10 degrees again.
Its just a spinny, cutty ball. I am a fade player but its just too spinny.
But just for context, i thought i would also add in the iron numbers from the clubs ive gapped today which im happy with, albeit the 6 iron seems an outlier that i should check i feel.
5 Iron: 200.3 Carry, 133.9 Ballspeed, 95.1mph swingspeed, 5814 spin
6 Iron: 196.8 Carry, 128.8 Ballspeed, 92.4mph swingspeed, 6156 spin
7 Iron: 176.7 Carry, 123.8 Ballspeed, 89.2mph swingspeed, 6258 spin
8 Iron: 166.5 Carry, 119.2 Ballspeed, 87.8mph swingspeed, 6680 spin
9 Iron: 151.8 Carry, 113.4 Ballspeed, 86.5mph swingspeed, 8349 spin
I think these numbers for the irons look not too bad for me.
But its the spinny driver that goes nowhere thats killing me.
With my swing speed numbers, can you tell me what i SHOULD look for to optimise my driver launch?
Thank you in advance!
