I think spin numbers are very dependant on your swing speed, launch angle etc for optimum purposes.
Optimum launch angle for someone who pokes em out there fairly well is around 14*. Obviously the higher your smash factor, the further it goes. What causes that exactly I'm not sure, but I'd say centre face contact, clubhead speed and other things get calculated by some sort of formula.
When all is said and done, like you said, just stand up and hit the thing. If you're a feel player (sounds like you are) then you'll know what's happened and why. |
Well, my launch was lower than that. So was he saying I need more spin because my launch angle was too low? I'm just wondering if this dude was just trying to sell me something or if this is the real deal. I hit this damn FT-i and while my carry is not huge, it rolls out like no other club I've ever hit. I don't know why I would want more spin. Wouldn't that kill some of the roll? I did not hit the FT-i in front of the monitor, but rather his Cleveland demos. I was not a fan of the clubs.
I am a total feel player. No GPS or any of that stuff. I look at a sprinkler head, tell myself I'm about 90, 110, 155, or whatever, grab a club, look at the pin and hit it in there. It's worked for 35 years.
