Shankster Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Is it possible to lost 20mph clubhead speed over winter?!?!?! Just hit some drivers at the Golf Galaxy and it's about 20mph less than last year? I felt about 3/4 short on the course Monday. What in the F is going on? - Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankster Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Yeah WTF is going on? I was hitting the heck out of it last week. Maybe their monitor was messed up? Not calibrated Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmith123 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Al you must really bomb it then regularly, didn't you mention in a post you launched one 326 yards the other day with a fade? Maybe you're just Phil Mickelson long now instead of Rory McIlroy long haha. But seriously though, trying too hard because you see certain numbers is a bad way to go about it. Focus on good contact first, I find that contact has a lot to do with it. Sent from my Sprint LG G5 mobile device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Are you flipping through impact? I lost a club and a half of distance with my flip. 9 iron went from 150 to 130. DST compressor helped me get it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Also club head speed is not captured on those monitors - it is just calculated. They monitor ballspeed and then spit out a club speed based on a fixed smashfactor they put into the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eseay32 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think you just got some bad technology. Especially if you've seen actual swing speed before at around 108.

Shankster Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 If you're crying about that now boy, you're in for a nasty surprise! I wasn't very nice to my body as a kid/young adult. Sometimes I wonder if I can get out of bed in the morning. I can't wait to get old. I'm probably going to live in the PT facility. But yoga has helped! Laid off the weights and doing strictly body weight workouts makes life easier. - Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankster Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm sure youll be hittin 300+ yard fades in no time Hopefully just my average will be fine. 270 works just great. Every once and awhile I get one that flies over 300. Not very often. Like last year I hit one 360+ with a 5mph helping wind and it must have caught the downslope of a hill because there is no way my scrawny a$$ can move fast enough to make that happen for real. I was looking for my ball around the 260 mark up in the woods. I had a PW into an uphill par 5, and still only made par. - Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkev Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I'm sure it was the monitor. Either the 108 was wrong last year or the 86 this year. Also depending on your ball flight it's very normal to loose distance in the Spring. There's very little roll and there was tons of it in the fall. Be careful what you wish for by wanting to move down South. You will find that you are shorter and it is very hit in the summer.

chershey Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I did lose about 16 pounds over the winter... Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy A couple of years ago, I lost 22 pounds in a month during a weight loss challenge and also lost all my swing speed. It took me months to work it out and get it all back. It may just be the machine like you were thinking but weight loss definitely had an effect for me.

Shankster Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 So I was out today. Hitting my 3 wood 265.. hybrid 235, and ripped a 4 iron 258, probably 220 carry. The driver don't go no more than 230. No matter what I do. Tried different things. There is a small dent in the crown by the toe, where it meets the face. Would this effect it enough to cause a severe loss of distance??!! Edit: the bad grammar was purposeful.

Edit: the bad grammar was purposeful. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy By those distances it doesn't seem like you lost any swing speed. I would look at the club more thoroughly to see if there is more than a dent. I wouldn't think the dent would have that impact; I am thinking you may actually have cracked the head or there is separation between the face and crown.
