Statistics from Arccos sensors reveal the advantage lower handicap golfers have over the rest of the field.
A lower handicap golfer is already a lot closer after playing their second shot. What’s your average distance with your driver?
And it’s worth noting that many of the golfers booming it out past the 250-yard mark are not the biggest or strongest people.
One of the reasons more diminutive golfers can often hit the ball further than their larger and more powerful playing partners is the efficiency of impact. There is contact that minimizes ball speed loss because of ‘deflection’ and is closer to the sweet spot.
A good slightly in-to-out swing path with the ball being struck with a slightly upwards club head trajectory will increase the chance of maximizing ball speed. There’s certainly less chance of ball speed loss because of a ‘deflected’ blow. The strike will likely be more solid.
The swing changes that take you from hitting tee shots 210 yards to 250 yards are not just felt on the tee box.
The changes made to a swing to deliver the driver club head back square from the inside will benefit your approach shots as well.
They’ll add distance to every club in the bag. They’ll improve the accuracy of every club in the bag. They’ll improve the consistency of every club in the bag.
What is holding you back from efficient contact and generating maximum ball speed from your swing?
