Clubhead Twist @ Impact
Clubhead Twist @ Impact
​
Because putting is such a significant part of golf, the ability to strike the putter consistently out of the ‘sweet spot’ is crucial. The ‘sweet spot’ is the point on the clubface where contact is the most solid, eliminating the rotation and wobble of the putter during impact.
By striking the ball out of the ‘sweet spot’ the maximum energy possible from the club will be transferred into the ball. It is possible for a player to miss the ‘sweet spot’ in both the vertical plane (bottom or top of the putter face) along with the horizontal plane (Heel or Toe of the putter face). If the golfer misses the ‘sweet spot’ by even a fraction, this will result in a miss-hit and a reduction in energy transfer to
the golf ball (club face twist).
The more consistent a player can be in transferring energy to the golf ball, the greater control they will have on the speed of the golf ball. The distance a golf ball travels is determined by speed. The speed of the ball, dictates how much the ball will break and therefore the line of the putt. Consistently striking the ball out of the ‘sweet spot’, will greatly improve a player's ‘touch and feel’.
"Most three putts aren’t caused by bad green reading, but by bad judgement of speed" (Ben Crenshaw, 1981).

Causes of Clubhead Twist - Range
​
-
Ball not struck in the stable part of the putter – centre of gravity of the putter
-
Do you ‘Address’ the ball out of the middle at ‘Set-up’?
-
Are you hitting the ball out of the same spot? – Consistent Ball Position ?
-
Try a higher MOI (Moment of Inertia) Putter style?
-
Excessive body movement and rotation
-
Hands dropping at impact
“
Clubhead twist will cause an inconsistent impact ratio leading to poor distance control”

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