t’s why you can launch even at negative attack angle. For those of us with lower swing speeds, having a positive attack angle can really help.


Interesting. I don’t know much of the science behind swing mechanics but enjoy learning about it.

I like looking at how to move the ball further in spite of my lack of elite club head speed. Women players have slower speeds overall, however, many elite female players can hit the ball 260 with 90mph swings. I read a discussion by one of the small Asian players who swings 90-95mph, but her angle of attack is plus 3 degrees so she carries a driver with 8 degrees of loft.

For a long time conventional wisdom has been, “you need more loft with the driver.” This can help players with decent swing speeds, but as you look at slower swings creating a positive attack angle with less loft can add distance.

Watching them swing is awesome! They have to maximize everything by having great mechanics and ball-striking. They aren’t strong apes like us where we can over power swing flaws.

There are tons of great YouTube channels for golf, but if you enjoy learning about the mechanics and science of the golf swing, I find TXG to be incredibly informative. Would be awesome to get a fitting with them.

We don't even know each other, but you are the only person I kind of know that has ever had a PXG club.

My irons and wedges are PXG.

Woods and hybrids are Taylor Made.

The PXG 3/4 16* Wood that I just got is pretty solid.

Muted feel like TM.

You realize that they can set those numbers anywhere they want... Take it to a third party site for eval.

With those numbers you should be on the Long Drive Tour and giving Dechambeau lessons.

FWIW, My brother has a PXG and it hits pretty sweet.

I think the numbers are a bit inflated, but Bryson carried a 3 wood about that far at around the same elevation this week.

If I swing out of my shoes like dechambaw I could probably get another 20 or 30. But I prefer the smooth swing with the statuesque follow through.
