hi folks my name is Bernard Sheridan from par breakers golf academy located
limerick pennsylvania
I'd like to welcome you back and today what we're gonna do is
take a look at the flightscope trajectory optimize your
on the flightscope . com
and essentially what we're gonna do here
when we look at this
is get an idea of how
golf club head speed launch speed and launch angle
affect distance for players
we're gonna look at how the launch angle for tour pro and degrees
is definitely
not gonna work for you as a player just because at the club head speed
or the launch speed to the ball those speed
the ball takes off on K show what we're going to do first
much in a couple of numbers were gonna take a look here is Tiger Woods
and we're gonna look at his ball speed here
and we're also gonna look at launch angle
and spin rate so these are the things that we're gonna really be concerned
about that were going to compare
with you as a player now if we look here
at ball speed we can see ball speed is a 175 miles an hour club head speed
is one 118 mph
launch angle is
eleven-point 20 degrees and thats
arm so in other words the ball is taking off at 11 degrees
off the clubface and his spin rate
here is 2512.9 RPM's
okay on so so that's that's
that balls basically spinning 2500 times a minute
okay which is a tremendous amount of spin
okay on by what we're gonna she is that a lot of players
spin the ball a lot lot more than that and that's why they ballon
shots and hit and hit them up things like that
you know where they don't get that this is that they want show
if we take this club head speed we go back into the
launch speed here we're going to basically look at ball speed for that
number so we go back your
and tigers up ball speed was 175 so we're going to put in here
and show what and you can do this you can just go back and forth to
PGA Tour dot com and pick a player and look at the stats
and then um take those stats
and put them into the trajectory optimizer on
flightscope and and as you on that we have a flight scope
at par breakers so and the reason why I am I'm going over this is
is essentially because at this time a year
if you can get in here that would be launched
speed we want not launch angle
show so it's actually as we are
getting into the offseason
the flightscope works great because what we can do is
throughout the winter we can work on trying to get these numbers optimal
you know do a practice session in there
look at our launch angle look at our club speed look at
look at the spin axis and things of that nature and and see what we can get
K so launch angle we shared for chai
was 11.5% okay so 11 to
so we're going hear more launch angle 11
okay we're going to use
the the setting that you're going to use if you're here in the United States is
you Imperial setting
there's a drop down here it's metric Imperial scientific
you're gonna pick Imperial cuz that's gonna take everything and transferred in
yards
K so altitude which is
a essentialy the apex height here it's showing 109
feet so this showed yards so
sure that roughly translates
into about 45 about 40 9 sprawl about 30 yards
the case was gonna put 30 there okay
spin access for Tiger we talked about the spin rate 25-12
case will put down your spin
in rpm 25-12
the spin axis is the amount of degrees
that the that the ball is spinning on left to right
K show what we're going to do is we're just gonna put this is your which if
it's pure backspin
now does that ever happen not really
okay but that's what we're gonna look at just for all intensive purposes
if you hit the ball exactly pure and it has straight pure backstage
no side spin I'm or what what we think is side spin
which we really doesn't happen up also we display the shot
click on display and off we see the ball goes dead straight
K and it when a 302 yards
okay the height was 95 she
the hang time was 6.2 seconds now
if we change that launch speed
more down to where the average player has it
and that would be more like 125
we'll display the shot
we're gonna see that at no same numbers
okay if you drop the launch speed
be down in miles per hour which is where the average player is
I 177 is the distance
okay show sir that launch speed
and and we can even up that too let's say 1 40 which a little bit closer what
is
average 140
here this probably is looking like what a lot of players are actually
hitting the ball 215 yards with their driver
okay and that if they hit dead straight now this is not all
just rolled she's just carry folks okay
show what can we do
to to help us gain more distance if we're not gaining more club head speed
and that is to up this launch angle
K so let's start up this launch angle let's move it up
to, to 14 degrees
and let's see what the number changes so we know we have to 215 let it
display and already if we launch the
two degrees of loft more
then we have 225 yards
yards so we already gained 10 yards with two degrees of loft
so let's kick this up 16 degrees
and now we're up to 230 yards a carry
OK? still having a very low number in spin
probably the average spin for most players
is more like around 4,000 much change that
to 4,000 spin rate and display that
and we're going to see already we're losing more distance
we just lost six yards because the spin rate went up
so of course the spin rate is a
is a real important number try to get lower but we also need to
up that launch angle for a little bit slower swing speed
this swing speed a hunter forty miles an hour launch speed
translates to about 90 to 92 miles an hour in club head speed
K so which is pretty much average in
show you can check, check your
your club head speed by going to your local pro in
and ask in them 'em to have that checked for there's a lot different ways they
can do it they don't
actually have to have a flightscope there's so many different things that
they have today
you can usually there's actually um you know a lot of different launch monitors
out there and simulators and things like that where you can
at least get that general information on
so so really what what this means is
you know it's like well Bern what does all this mean okay so here's what this
all means
this means that for you the average players whose swinging between 92
99 miles an hour arm or 80 to 100 miles an hour
that launch angle has to be higher
let's move this up to 17 degrees
and and that launch angle has to be higher
so somewhere around 17 degrees
which means you have to be hitting up on the ball
okay show so that now that can definitely
hurt you because if you hit up to you know at the
and keep the face looking at the club at the target
after you hit up that spin axis is gonna change in its gonna be more like
this and the shot is gonna end up
looking like this okay as opposed to going straight
and that's a fade or a few really hold that face
and make it look at the target as long as you can
it's probably gonna be more like this
which is really what probably a lot a year seeing when you're trying to make
the ball
the club face look at the target for as long as possible after it hits the ball
is gone and up in the right rough
so that spin axis number that means it that
a the higher that number gets the longer the club faces looking
at the target line after after impact
and we don't want that to happen as much so
that face has two that toe of that club as you go through if you refer back to
my core rotation drill
and you'll see how the toe of the club opens on the way back
and closes and the toe was pointing up by the time you get to that
arm to the end that stick in that drill so
that's in front of the ball so essentially I want you watch that drill
and work on that role on that'll help this spin axis number
actually drop and and that spin axis number will
will be looking more like a like let's say
this 3 , which is three degrees
open and you'll be here nice little fade which is
which is very very acceptable shot
and and will and you want to use is a little bit lower spin ball
if possible so we can get that number down to around there
and said at the a 224 yard carry fade
a it all and up be in 231 yards and
will roll out to about another 10 yards and
and you'll be you'll be hittin a very respectable ball
K so for Par Breakers Golf Academy
as always like to thank you for watching and
hop up to flightscope.com take a look at the trajectory optimizer
and a click on that if you have any questions just post it below
and I'll be more than happy to help you with any
any questions you may have about how to run this trajectory optimizer
on if you lived near the Philadelphia area
stop by Limerick and hop on a flightscope right there
and take a lesson with me and and I'm sure that
you know we can really look at your numbers and try to get you to get as
much distance is possible
so once again on Bernard Sheraton Par Breakers Golf Academy
