Had a local guy on our launch monitor today who is really good....but showed up for his fitting after a few beers.... (okay, he was wasted). But insisted to use his allocated time...so I agreed and figured, hell, this should be good for a few laughs....
So here was his results...
100+ swing speed......but hit the ball so far upward, it had the trajectory of a good 6-iron.....almost sky ball like....and he hit it at an impact angle imparting a spin, only suitable for someone hitting the ball at 10 mph more.....bottom line, he hit a knuckleball....and probably will not remember it tomorrow.
But still, look at his results.
102 swing speed
149 ball speed
19.8 launch angle
2039 spin rate
276 carry
203 total distance.
The reason I bring it up???
He shows a swing speed similar to mine....is wasted......and STILL out drives me by 50 yards.
I hate these guys.
