Launch angle question


Recommended Posts

I enjoyed T's tutorial on CG from earlier this year. It seems to me if you have a negative A0A that back low is better fro you. Interestingly negative AoAs generally belong to higher handicappers or also very strong male players. PGA tour players have a slightly negative AoA on average, there are of course exceptions. LPGA players who need to maximize their distance as well as better older male players generally have positive AoAs.

 

So I would expect Jmike to have a slightly negative or very close to neutral AoA and I don't think that mixes well with the SLDR. With my AoA and consistent swing I can hit 17/1700 like the carnival bell when you get me on an LM. What I've found is that it's not the best number for me. I need a bit more spin, between 2200 and 2500 to get maximum distance. 16/2400 is the ticket for me and when I'm swinging well I'm right around it. The forward CG and higher loft along with a spin killing shaft helps me.

You are correct in that I am neutral to negative 1* when I am swinging well.
