I'm always intrigued about tests like these because it's not apparent under what conditions they were carried on.
A simulator? Perfect conditions in Florida or whatever.
I play in the UK and the wind is the major factor here.

Oh, forgot why I was writing. If you believe in the premise of hitting up on the ball, you should think about the viability of a reverse-tapered grip on your driver. (i'm not a shill but there is a company that makes them) try it on any old driver first and make sure to write me back to thank me.

I knew golfing has to have some kind of science behind it, so at least now I can imagine myself playing it with your figures in my mind.

For an average sized golfer, if you drive the ball in-line with your left instep, what angle of driver would create the 5 degree up angle?

One thing I noticed with the graph is that for all swing speeds and all attack angles, the distance the ball rolled appears to be a constant 30 yards. Wouldn't the roll distance change depending on the swing speed and the attack angle?

My high school coach would make us practice with our drivers, teeing it up with a notch cut out of the top of a score card pencil, and put the "tee" beyond our left foot. It was a fun way to practice, but we didn't really get it at the time. I guess he actually had a point.

Trackman is phenomenal. To get my students to do this, I tell them to swing the club away from the target from the top of the backswing. Sometimes "hit the ball on the upswing" doesn't get the job done.

Have always struggled with the driver. I've got presently a Cobra X Speed Pro 9.5° which again is hit and miss. Thanks for the article, help is always enjoyed.
