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...

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.
