Launch Angle @ Impact

The launch angle of the golf ball is a key factor for start direction and pace control. The static Lift of the putter and the schaft angle create the "Dymamic Loft" at Impact. Dynamic Loft, attack angie, impact location (Top / Bottom & Heel / Toe) and how the ball is `sitting` in the surface are all key factors influencing launch angie. Every turf and artifical surface con dition changes launch angle. Face Technology (Groove patterns, milling design and onserts) can also influence Ball Launch Angle and Inital Ball Roll. Positive Forward Spin (+) No Back Spin!

​

Causes of Inconsistent ‘Launch Angle’ – Range

​

• Inconsistent  shaft angle at impact  (Hands flipping at impact / forward press)

• Attack Angle? Negative / Positive – (where is the bottom of the arc?)  Body Movement?

• Inconsistent Ball Position – eyes often too far forward of back in the stance

• Excessive body movement, body moving during impact – poor strike...

• Variability in the clubface rotation

• Striking the ball low / high on the face

• Change in Lie Angle (hands dropping at impact is the most common)

Consistency / Range Values How to interpret the numbers...
​

Blue / Eagle – Best of the Best!

The equivalent of a robot, it is not possible to do any better as a human being, please don’t try and improve this parameter, just ensure the you understands what you need to do to create such consistency for this parameter.

​

Green / Birdie – Very Good

These are still very consistent numbers created by the player. Again ensure the You understands what you need to do to create such consistency for this parameter.

​

Amber / Par – Average

Average range numbers, you are not going to set the world on fire, however they are still more than acceptable ranges..

​

Red  / Bogey – Poor

Irrespective of the level of golf played by the golfer, ranges in the red are going to hurt them, they display significant levels of inconsistency. Technique and club fitting need to be considered if putting performance is to be improved
