SS Average was 111, 3 MPH faster so far for this year average. Ball speed was only 161 average so how could it be a 311 average when Luke Donald has the same ball speed and I know he doesn't average 311..

Not really.

You launch the ball too low.

The distances seem fairly well inflated.

I talked to them about it and it was zero mom wind and I made them double check if the thing was to add yards. so it def wasnt. I deleted my longest and shortest drive to be fair. Longest was 117 ss and went 334 with 10.7 launch. Also here is the other picture it didn't all fit. I don't care about the other numbers. So the spin isn't good?

Rickey Barnes and Trevor immelman launch the ball lower on average too. Some others launch fairly low. If I could launch at 10 every time would that be ?good

Some of Rory's and Gary Woodland's bombs are over 13 deg launch angle with a higher swing speed and they are using a slightly lower loft club. If you are using your posted 10.5 degree driver, looks as though some of the shots were launched much lower than 10, so you are hitting down on the ball a little bit, might be jacking your spin a little bit. Your spin RPM for most are very good and your decent angles are also very good

I never go by total distance on these things. I only look at the carry distance. The total distance is calculated under ideal conditions which we never see. Roll out will vary so much. If the ground conditions are soft you won't get much roll.

Ideal launch is 17 degrees, right? Then you're launching way too low - you could get a lot more distance by launching higher.

Do you have a low launching shaft or something? Your launch angle is really low. Do you play the ball way back of your front foot?

Also, those rolls are ridiculous. You have a 40 yard roll on one shot. Does not pass my bs meter. Go by carry distances. Which are pretty solid, but with that swing speed and ball speed, you should be longer.

17 is good or often best but to many people it just looks ungodly high and they feel like they cannot control a ball that far up in the air so they push it down. But 14-15 should be the goal for those guys. There are guys on the PGA Tour launching it under 10 but they have excessive clubhead speed and still manage carries of 280 or 290+. My Titleist rep tells me Bill Haas is one guy who just will not launch it higher even if you show him the added 25 yards. Just does not want to. The roll numbers are overstated but they are consistent with Hard Ground settings I think. If you play in Hard Ground cool but I only ever really care about carry#s. http://flightscope.com/products/trajectory-optimizer/ All numbers kept the same (165 MPH, X, 0 H, 500 ft, 2250 RPM, R0 degrees, Soft) but changing launch angle: 10 degrees - Carry 269 (281 total) 15 degrees - Carry 289 (291 total) 17 degrees - Carry 294 (298 total)

@Deadman I've always been low launch, low spin and I've said before that I roll out 40 yards (on firm fairways). I play the ball off the left heel and my launch last year was 6 degrees usually. It's crazy.. my shaft is also a high launch shaft lol. My whole goal is more carry distance for sure. those are interesting numbers. Carry to me is so important because of fairway bunkers, trees, and dog legs. I would be able to shorten some holes if I had the right carry. @Phil McGleno that link is awesome, thanks!
