El Chivo Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Club loft Angle of Attack Impact point on the clubface Forward lean of the shaft Anything Else I'm missing. Thanks so much....I have no idea how to read my data....My ball flies relatively straight with a push cut but at 115 avg. I can only squeeze out 169mph ball speed. How do I optimize my smash factor? Appreciate it.

GolfSpy_BNG Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I’m not sure you necessarily want forward shaft lean with the driver but I have been wrong before. Impact location would be #1 IMO.

While I'm not an expert, I would think that forward shaft lean delofts the driver. silver & black and GolfSpy_BNG 2 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckymeyer Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 You're only leaving 3 mph on the table with a perfect smash factor. It's all strike location and finding the center of the face. Without increasing club head speed you really have 2 things you can improve to hit the ball farther. (Assuming a properly fit driver) Find the center of the face more, have a positive angle of attack.

Micah T Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 You swing about the same as me: have you seen your stats on a track man/launch monitor? What’s your carry? I’m 1.5 degrees down and my preference is to cut/fade the ball. Avg carry for me is 285. Besides hitting slightly high dead center, the only way to get more distance from my swing would be to come from the inside more and try to hit draws. I gave up on that after a year and just play the cut: it’s far more repeatable/forgiving for me. Tour avg swing speed is 113, and your ball speed is very high compared to almost any golfer...

heavygolffeels Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Keep in mind not all monitors read club head speed the same way, so I wouldn't put a ton of energy into increasing your smash factor. Same result, but think to increase ball speed.

THEZIPR23 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 You may get 3-5 yards more on a perfect shot but you are not going to get much more ball speed with that SS. Are you looking for more distance?

RI_Redneck Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ball Speed, Spin and Launch angle are what determine distance. Anything you do to optimize those (without harming the others) will work. At that BS, you should be carrying around 285-290 with the proper spin and launch. BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
