spin rate

[patentwilk]

According to the launch monitor, my spin rate was 2850 with a ball speed in the 150s and a launch angle that varied between 13 and 16. Is that spin rate too high? If so, what can I do to lower it?

I got fitted for a Ping G10 on a Vector Launch Monitor system. It was determined that I needed a 12* head (I hit a stupidly low ball). The optimal spin rates on a driver are between 2200 and 2300 rmp. You can try switching shafts which helped me alot (was instructed to get a ProLaunch Red instead of the stock Ping TFC graphite). With the 10.5* stock stiff, I was launching at 8-9* with 2900 rpm, with the ProLaunch Red and a 12* head, I was launching at 13-14* and 2300 rpm.

Take it for what it's worth, but being a 9 handicap, I thought I was driving ok with about a 255-260 yard distance, but this change made a huge difference.

do you have link to a website that provides the optimal spin rates?
