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...

      Nothing is assured and lots of talented young athletes in many sports fail to achieve greatness. as was said, injuries, growth, lots of things can come into play, And let’s let honest, over the years a few players have been branded “The Next Tiger Woods” and yet there is only 1 Tiger Woods. My initial point was if he can do a great breakout it may capture the attention of a new generation.  Back in the 70s it was Secretariat in horse racing, we also had Jordan in basketball and let’s not forget Tiger for golf.  Stories get people interested and I think golf needs a new story. I will pull for him and hope it works out but there are so many factors that come into play you just do not know, But I can hope.

      Day 114: 4/19/24 Chipping and putting practice. Tried a little hinge and hold with good results, which has never been the case during a real round. Playing tomorrow and eager to play.

      I don't think I've found any of the Good Good stuff, or the guys that were once a part of it, very interesting.

      Day 127 (19 Apr 24)  -  Played in the Friday Men's group today.  While I shoot 82, it was a pretty solid round with 10 pars, 5 bogies and 3 doubles.  I really hated the doubles - but each one was followed by a par come back, so "accepting" the number has really begun to pay off and not letting it get to me on the following hole in thinking "I have to get that stroke back".
