With a SS of 120mph, optimal launch is 13* and optimal spin is 2400.. both of these should increase as SS increase.

With an SS of 111 you should be dropping the launch angle to about 12.5-13 and lowering spin another 2-300 rpm's - most likely this isn't in the equipment but can be found in your set up.

With your numbers that good I would focus on making solid contact while swinging at 111mph in order to get the smash factor up to about 1.48-1.49.

Nice numbers tho!!!

BTW: how do you like the FT TA? do you mind me asking what the actual loft is on the one you have and how do you like it with the Fubuki 63? is there a reason why you didn't get it in the 70 gram Fubuki? Just wondering because i've been debating between picking up a FT TH/TA vs. waiting for the FT-Tour. my SS is at around 104-105 so I'm thinking about waiting for the FT Tour since I would need the extra launch....

well to be honest, this was the first time i had hit it....... the temp outside is about 5-10 right now so the launch monitor was all i could do....... but the overall feel was awesome.... love the sound and the feedback was great.

i went with the 63 gram becasue i had played it in my retail FT-9 Tour and loved the feel.

Nice stick! How'd you get your hands on one? Aren't they tour only?

As stated in the other response your numbers look fine... You are not a tour player so trying to tweek those numbers may do more damage then good... The biggest thing you always look for are launch angle and spin rate and you are right where you need to be...

Oh yeah, I have the same club but with the Fubuki Tour X flex and I beat the crap out of it...

    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
    • Once again… it's easier to be "consistent" when you're playing against weaker competition. Despite playing against significantly stronger/deeper fields, Jack was nowhere near as dominant as Tiger Woods was. Jack's "consistency" is a lame way of saying "I like Jack and I want to vote for him as GOAT but I can't come up with a real reason why, so I'll just say he was more 'consistent.'" If someone joined the PGA Tour, kinda muddled around for a year or two, then won 16 majors and 75 total PGA Tour events in eight years, then promptly retired… He'd almost surely have my vote for GOAT. Consistency schmonsistency.
