7 bits of golf geometry that will blow your mind
👇

The part of the ball you hit (inside/outside quadrant) has nothing to do with the path the club takes.

It's all to do with the face angle. Open to the target = inside quadrant struck first (and vice versa).

Leaning that shaft forwards DOES makes you strike higher on the face.

But....

It takes a whole 10 degrees of forward shaft lean (rotating the club around the sweet spot) to move the strike just 1 groove higher.

Digging just 1/4 inch deeper can be the difference between contacting ball and turf together, or hitting a whole 2+ inches behind it

It takes as little as 3 degrees open/closed with the face to hit a shot 35+ yards off-line with a driver (at 240 yards).

Opening or closing the face a very significant 5 degrees (twisting around the sweet spot) will only move the strike 2mm.

So mis-strikes are not caused by an overly open/closed face.

Any path can strike any part of the face.

Stop blaming your path-direction for mis-strikes

The path of the club at impact can vary depending on ball position.

Even with the same swing

These 14 #golf things took me 20 years to learn 👇

After a good shot, you will think you've found something.

If it happens a second time, you'll be certain of it.

99% of the time, it's a passing fart.

After a good round you'll think you've mastered the game.

After a bad one, you'll think you'll never get it back.

Both times, you're wrong.

I hit 100 golf wedge shots with a launch monitor running.

Let's see what I found out 👇👇👇

Bookmark📚 this monster thread 🧵

For the test, I hit shots from 2 different lies indoors.

🔵Grass - simulated lie (fiberbuilt bristles) which would simulate having a perfect lie with a big cushion beneath the ball
🔴Normal range mat - tight and firm - like a hardpan lie but a bit more spongy

Shots were
▪️40 yards
▪️45 deg dynamic loft (yellow arrow)
▪️8 deg attack angle (white line)
▪️53 deg spin loft (pink shaded area)

All had very tight standard deviations

If you suffer with fat shots in #golf, you will want to read this 👇 (or bookmark for later)

Fat shots are basically where your club contacts the ground before the ball.

It's not the DEPTH of the divot that's the issue - it's the LOCATION

Fat shots create
❌inconsistent spins
❌lost/inconsistent distance
❌fewer greens in reg/higher scores
❌unhappy golfers

So, how do we fix them? Well, we have 2 options
✅Raise arc depth
✅Shift low point forwards

Let's explore.....

I'll leave arc depth control for another post (make sure to follow me @adamyounggolf to see my posts).

But, a brief outline would be, all else being equal, a swing that is DEEPER (2) also hits the ground more BEHIND the ball.

So, an option would be to raise arc depth (1)

Trackman just release their updated tour stats.

Everyone is talking about the fact that pros still hitting down with the driver.

This 🧵thread🧵 discusses 👇👇👇

First up - pros are hitting LESS down than they were previously. Only by a little bit, but they are certainly not trending to "more downward AOA".

But averages are just that - averages.

you'll have some guys hitting up, and some hitting down. Doesn't mean ALL are hitting down

Male pros also have a lot of club speed - they can still hit down and pipe it out there 300+

When you look at the female pros, who have less club speed, they hit more up on it becuase they NEED that distance more

This is insane! #golf

If this 🧵thread🧵 doesn't highlight how good we ALL have to be at this game, I don't know what will.

Follow me @adamyounggolf for more interesting info

Here we see a square clubface with an iron. With a square path, this would go straight

See more 👇👇

Now we see a face that is just 1 deg closed (left image)

At 170 yards with a 7 iron, this would go about 5-6 yards left (with the same club path), as shown on the map with the yellow line.

You'll hit most greens with this.

Now we see a face thats just 2 deg closed.

This would produce close to a tour-proximity from 170 with a 7 iron, going around 11-12 yards left.

You'll start to miss a few greens with this - especially if attacking pins.

Want to hit longer #golf drives? Read this 🧵thread🧵

Bookmark for later viewing. A "like" and "R-t" is also very appreciated

The LAUNCH ANGLE of our drives is very important for distance.

Launch angle, or LA, refers to the initial launch of the golf ball.

The ball launches between the loft and the face, typically closer to the face.

So even if your angle of attack is down (red), if the face angle points to green, the ball can still launch up.

The ball will typically launch closer to the face (around 75% closer)

Imagine a ball is launched with 150mph ball speed and 2000 rpm spin

A ball launched at
🟢6 deg flies 208 yards
🟢10 deg flies 232 yards
🟢16 deg flies 250 yards

Higher launch is typically more distance
