Who knows what's optimum when it comes to LM stats ??
For example, what's optimum AoA ?
Spin rate ?
Face to path ?
I'm talking driver btw.

Every player is different
With a driver it’s generally considered a positive AoA such as +1 to +5.
Path slightly in to out with a slightly closed face to promote a draw. This is optional however.
Spin, low 2000 to late 1000 is good.

These will obviously be different subject to clubhead speed, don't know exact but must long drivers are looking to hit about 5-6 degrees up and about 2 degrees in to out to gain max distance. Strike location and clubspeed affect spinrate as much as anything, as a rule the higher on the face you hit the ball the less it will spin
My average AoA was 0.5 which I think is rubbish. Spin rate 2200, which seems fine, Club path 2.1, face to path 0.1.
Stats look pretty good apart from AoA so tried to change that tonight, big over draw in to the woods both times...:sbox:

I don’t think that an AOA of 0.5 is bad at all, my understanding is that anything above zero is good.
Smash factor should be as close to 1.5 as possible, this is a good indication of quality of strike.
Plus I think that the launch angle ideally is about 12 degrees

Smash factor ave was 1.4 :rofl:dynamic loft was 13.7

Alot of pros actually hit about 1 down with the driver as it allows for more control, it gives up some yardage but accuracy ismore key than an extra 10 yards carry. If you really want to improve I'd focus more on neutralizing club path and face. I play off scratch and my angle of attack with irons is around 4 down and 0/-1 with driver. I can still get it out there past 95 percent of club golfers

You want to get your smash up to as close to 1.51 as possible. Mines averages 1.49
Looking at these figures and this link https://www.andrewricegolf.com/andrew-rice-golf/2012/05/optimal-driver-numbers-on-trackman I'm pretty much on the button 
no wonder I hit two bit over draws tonight as I changed my set up.

According to trackman the average on the PGA tour is -1.3

Interesting but one really shouldn't judge themselves up against the tour, though makes my average 101 clubhead speed not feel as bad as I thought.

Yes angle of attack lol most pros under the gun hit about 1 down. Been the same for years. They also have the ability to hit up on it at will though but will just play the fairway finder most of the time
Brilliant, thought I was heading back to the drawing board after tonights drives, now I've really got not to much to worry about, just set up as normal.
How did I think a 4 degree AoA was optimal ??
LPGA average is 3.0.

Lpga players also don't hit it as far and hence need to optimise distance, men don't tend to have the same distance issues women do
