Gears Golf: Club and Ball Metrics - Gears Sports CLUB HEAD METRICS Club Path Angle of Attack Face to Path Spin Loft Closure Rate T Closure Rate Low Point Speed Impact Point Face Center Ratio to Grip Loft Face Center Address Impact Difference ... Lie Static Address... The GEARS definition: We've discussed rate of closure in another topic, here: A lot of things can affect rate of closure. There are tour players with high rates and low rates. It doesn't seem to correlate to accuracy. For amateurs, high rates of closure (in combination with other factors) could indicate other flaws in the swing, but there's probably better ways to measure and identify those flaws anyway. Like spin rate on a launch monitor, I don't think closure rate is meant to be evaluated in isolation. -

None of this excuses Greg and Phil for getting in bed with some of the worst people on earth whose only merit is that their country happens to be on top of a giant pool of oil. -

I'm not concerned about it. The tags are likely softer than the screen, so unless you have sand embedded in the tag it's probably fine. Though now that I think about it, I'd be more concerned with @Shindig's idea of leaving the unit in my pocket while playing. My pockets always end up with sand and dirt in them. -

So the simple answer is, yes. But, and it's a big one, is it your priority piece? Or is it something you can kick down the road while you work on something else? We all have numerous flaws in our swings and limited ability to make multiple changes simultaneously. You didn't share any details of your lesson, any before/after swings, or any drills you have to work on, so I don't know if what you ended up working on was more important. It could simply be a case of, "this isn't great but it's fine for now, let's fix this other thing first." Don't put the cart before the horse. Don't muddy the waters of your swing instruction. Insert other relevant idioms here 😜 But seriously, I don't know the quality of the lesson you received, but if you're going to question your instructor, how can you possibly commit to improving what he has shown you? -

I likely won’t be playing any golf this weekend, so I’ll go ahead and post. This was from last Saturday. One of my coworkers and I played two holes after work. We went up to the reds on the par-3 second hole (playing about 95 yards that day) and hit our shots from there. I tried to take a little off a 50 degree and thinned it over the top of the flag and over the green. Then I plopped down another ball and decided to try a full swing 54 degree. Flushed it, and I saw it take one bounce right by the pin, then disappear. We practically sprinted up to the green and sure enough, there my ball was in the cup. Not sure if this counts as a true hole in one, but it was cool to make that shot!
