So last week I was at Golf Discount of St. Louis checking out a Callaway driver, and the tool that does all the analytics was behind me, as in along the target line but behind the ball a few feet. After a few swings I was clocking in around 95-99. Then today I was at Golfsmith (granted checking out another driver, an old Cleveland Launcher) and I was in the 85-89 range. This time the machine was just positioned about a foot in FRONT of impact, although of course off the target line. Why such a difference in speed? Which would be more accurate? I would think checking club head speed after impact would give a slower speed, but then, it is Golfsmith and this is what they do. Anyone?

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
