We would appreciate seeing results for 90-95 MPH swing speed for not only this video but also for other demonstrations. Many of us don't generate your speeds.
Your first swing was 104.5 club-speed, negative attack angle, with a super low shot and carries further than me. Same club speed, but my ball speed only goes between 135 and 145. I can move my attack angle around, but if anything, as my attack angle moves up, my distance goes down.
Hi Guys, thanks for the tips. Wow, I'm definitely teeing the ball up too low (and maybe too far back). After watching this video I'm going to head to my local indoor range and focus on the Trackman numbers. Let me ask you. My driver swing speed is 90mph. Is a 10.5 degree loft (regular flex) an ok setup?
I remember teeing off the top of a pencil when I was a kid with an Callaway Gig Bertha. Didn’t have Trackman but figured out that hitting up on the ball and launching it high got plenty of distance.
So according to Trackman I am 5 degrees up on my attack angle but the flight is so low. Peak height of like 70-80 feet. What am I doing wrong? I am using an 11 degree head too.
Work on your spine angle at impact. Feel like your left shoulder if higher than your right and work on sweeping the ball off the tee. The club should not hit the ground - Thomas
@@swinglabperformancegolf You caught me - definite ground striker! My coach tried to get me into some weird C-shape when viewed face-on and it did nothing but hurt me.
Tee it high and let it fly!!!! My mate was hitting his driver with a 0.2 angle of attack. Made him try a higher tee, same swing and he ended up hitting bombs!
Swing Lab, maybe tell folks Loft is your friend when your swing speed is sub 100mph. Spin equals control. Do a comparison video with an older golfer sub 100mpg swing speed
Appreciate their attempt, but you’re not alone. More canned info out there from multiple channels regarding “tee it higher, play it forward”, but that does not fix all AOA issues. Yes, it was mentioned head behind, but NO WHERE NEAR enough sources talk about staying back behind, keeping width or keeping club head from getting to steep going back or getting the head down sooner with width in order to shallow it. More often than not the same old same old.
Every 1 mph of club speed can result in 3 yards longer. If keeping that constant that's up to 24 yards which is of course part of the equation but not all. So right around 300 yards with 104 club head speed When increasing your angle of attack you will obtain more club speed as well as you use the ground force more efficiently... But that topic is for another day. - Thomas
Increase your angle of attack there is a good chance your club speed will improve from a more efficient swing by using the ground more efficiently in your swing. Not saying you will pick up 6mph club speed. Gains will be player dependent but it's worth a try & this has generated a good topic to discuss in another video on how to use ground forces to obtain more speed. - Thomas
@@cgasuckstheoretically yes, but you're dealing with humans. By placing the ball further forward it changes how you release the club & use ground forces. Every fitter on earth has seen players gain a few mph from these changes alone. There's also a mental aspect, if you realize that you can swing faster and hit it farther without dreading snap hooking it I've seen players swing faster just because they aren't tentative with the club.
I agree. I only weigh 170 pounds... If I didn't have any belly fat, I would be a stick, but it would be nice to redistribute that weight as muscle. Might give me a little more speed too - Thomas

Thanks for the feedback. This is always a common request, and we won't forget about more moderate speed testing - Thomas
He posted one of those, in case you haven't seen it yet.
The process would be exactly the same with a lower swing speed. Max distance would just be less.
Great video guys!

Great video! Super helpful. Great collaboration on this topic. Best of luck on the new channel.

Congrats Thomas! Best wishes on this new venture!!!
Perfect video for me, I swing up on the ball and have got my loft set to higher 😮 ha ha
So according to Trackman I am 5 degrees up on my attack angle but the flight is so low. Peak height of like 70-80 feet. What am I doing wrong? I am using an 11 degree head too.
Could be hitting the ball low on the face or just have relatively low swing speed. Best to get a good fitting or swing coach to sort this out.
thank you
What if we hit the ball super high on the face, with the ball off our left big toe, with a low tee?

Yes I love this saying and its so true! - Thomas

I still have negative attack with the ball even further forward than you guys play in the video...

speed goes from 104 to 108...110... only the angle of attack? while the content is great... results may be misleading?

AOA affects spin and therefore carry and overall distance but not clubhead speed.

Where is Drew😂
Still doing good stuff from what I can see - Thomas

@@swinglabperformancegolfyou hit 300 yard plus drives at 170 pounds. You’re too nice of a guy to respond to this clown.
