Hang Time
Time in seconds to carry flat Average drive on the PGA Tour = 6.5 seconds
Club Speed
PGA Tour = 112 LPGA Tour = 94
Ball Speed
How quickly the ball comes off the club
Smash Factor
Equation? What about 1.50?
Attack Angle
What is - ? What is + ? Tour Averages with Driver?
PGA Tour = -1.3 LPGA Tour = +3 Why?
Club Path
Can someone draw on the board the concept of club path? Include what + and - means
Face Angle
What is it? + and - ?
Face to Path
Can anyone draw this on the board
Dynamic Loft
Definition?
Dynamic Loft is the amount of loft on the club face at impact
Your Driver may start at 9 Your Driver may start at 9.5 degrees of loft but at impact the loft on your club will be higher. PGA Tour = 12.8 LPGA Tour = 15.5 Another name for Dynamic Loft is “Delivered Loft” Most amateurs have too much dynamic loft!
Spin Loft
What is it? Definition? Example? Draw on Board
Facts about Spin Loft Spin loft can help you determine your compression of the golf ball The greater the spin loft you have, the more the ball will spin Hitting downward does NOT create more spin… Only increasing spin loft can create more spin
Swing Direction
The swing’s direction is simply how far left or right of the target line the “direction of the swing” is aimed at the bottom of the swing arc. Swing Direction : -2.7
Attack Angle : -5.7 Thus, push draws with divot going left Club Path : 1.3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HOo2l-v9U0 How?
Swing Plane
Swing plane : a measure of how vertical a swing is, where a high value represents a very up and down (steep) swing plane and a low value a relatively flat (to the ground) arc.
Launch Angle
Launch Angle : The angle the ball takes off at relative to the ground
Launch Direction
Starting direction of ball to the target line. + & -?
What has more of an effect on launch direction (also called starting direction)? Face Angle or Club Path
Spin Rate
Spin Rate: The amount of spin on the golf ball immediately after impact
Tour averages – Spin Rate PGA Driver = 2686 rpm 6 iron = 6231 rpm LPGA Driver = 2611 rpm 6 iron = 5943 rpm
Spin Axis

Height
The apex (highest part) of the ball flight On average, PGA Tour players apex ALL CLUBS at 30 yards high On average, LPGA Tour players apex ALL CLUBS at 23 yards high
30 yards
Land Angle
Ball angle into ground For every 1 degree flatter, the ball will roll an additional 2 yards
Carry
The distance the ball travels through the air
Total
Carry + Roll
Side
Distance between where the ball carries and the target line
Side Total
Distance between where the ball finished and the target line
