    Neat experiment! Seeing him start out at around my club head speed and seeing how almost “slow motion” it looks is shocking to me. Seeing the numbers he’s generating and thinking I’m not too far from there is reassuring. Thanks for the video!

    Cool experiment as always.
    There is a chart from trackman or ping about optimizing spin and launch rates based on swing and ball speed. That chart is very helpful to add to anyone watching this video.
    Maybe you can add your analysis of that chart. When I look at that chart, I am always amazed at how finding proper launch and spin is important at all speeds and how it differs at each level. It is such a science now.

    I am quite a stat nerd and find these interesting. Only been golfing few months, haven't used a simulator, but track my distances on course using 18 birdies app. My average total distance is 250, my max to date is 309, good to get an idea of how fast I'm swinging

    Player height equals more length of swing, which equals more club head speed , whi h equals longer drives. At 5'4" in height, i can only dream.

      @@nickmillar9651 The head weights are all related to playing lengths. Same reason your 9 iron is heavier than your 8i. But yes, a heavier head can yield better distance assuming your speed does not drop too much because of that extra weight.

      The "great" shots were using a 13d Cobra Max at low speed and a 10.5d Cobra DS X at the 90 speed. He used his lower lofted, X flex gamer for the "good" shots at those speeds which gave good contact numbers but low spin and launch at those speeds.

    Hi, Your video gives all facts for player, great test!
    Age of player gives other facts, lets hear my experiance of my driving!
    At 83 my driver shots gave me some total of 200 yards,
    today at 88 my driver is 160 yards!
    In 5 years I losed 40 Yards, thats fact!
    What will I do this indoor winter practice?
    Ok! Practice twice a week hitting balls, try do longer backswings also!
    Ill come back then and tell You results!

    • @ExTrumpet
      @ExTrumpet 2 місяці тому

      The way I understand it, swing weight is a measurement of the balance point of any given club...change the weight on one end and it changes the balance point. I have changed the swing weight several points just by switching from a regular grip to a midsize grip, depending on the brand/style.

      Everyone is correct. Just remember it's only changing balance not making the club lighter. Whether that is better for your game will require you testing it out.

    • @EFGMC
      @EFGMC  2 місяці тому

      No, the 5 wood head will be heavier and that is what you are seeing. The extra shaft length in the 3w will only provide 1-2 grams of weight for the 3 wood hence the 5w static weight is greater.
