I did a gapping session yesterday on my clubs and have the results and the only one I'm having difficulty with is the AZIMUTH column, so, could anyone please explain in simple terms what those readings mean please.
It was a very interesting 2.5 hours, I could see where I'd over/under estimated my club yardages, that my 4 and 5 irons went virtually the same distance unless I leaned on the 4 or hit it off a tee. We tweaked my driver to a better setting and I was pleasantly surprised how close to target my wedges were going after a couple of changes made recently.
About a week ago I had got the X Hot2 driver and free rescue club. The 19* rescue club was only available with my pro in regular and as the deal was finishing he couldn't get it with a stiff shaft. I was easing back on it on the simulator, worried that it might be too whippy and go right on me and sure enough it did. The pro said that I was to give it a real smack and to my surprise it went hugely better proving what I have since seen Mark Crossfield saying which is that the shaft stiffness makes little difference in a club.
The final result is that I now have a better idea of my carry and total distances in benign conditions and any adjustment on the course is from a better basis. After the session I played in our monthly Stableford and shot 37 points with only 3 points on the last 3 holes as I flagged in the heat and after about 150 balls hit during the morning session
