Where did you get those numbers? Just wondering?

Launch monitors can tell you.

I know that.. But I don't think those stats are right .. It does not sound right to me. I Have fit around 2,000 with the Vector LM. Unless its not very accurate!!!

I find that I need to be around 118 with a ball speed of 169-170 to get the ball over 300 yards. Depending on spin rate. Then on the 5 iron I would be willing to bet it needs to be closer to 105-109 to get what he is saying!! I know I have not fit anyone for about a year. But Damn did golf clubs get that much better since I left club fitting?

Been (quite) a while and I only did the 5-iron but, it clocked at 105. The 210 range was the distance I was told. For what it's worth...

P.S. My clubs haven't gotten any better. Or, maybe it's the guy swinging them...

      My Swing (StuM)

      By StuM · Posted

      I’m posting my Stack System results here. I’m not sure what to make of the information below, other than I have plenty of room for improvement.  I was going a little to fast at the  start and need to slow down and pay attention to the timer between shots. I hit some balls after this snd the launch monitor showed several were 245 total which I felt may have been a little generous.  They were good shots (for me) but just looking at the distance markers at the range I felt I was shorter than that.

      Appearance on Be Better Golf Show to Discuss VisionTrack!

      I've watched the video and I like Brendan's presentation. It explains exactly how they arrived at creating the original VisionTrack itself so many years ago.

      Core Shorts

      I am wondering if anybody has ever used these and if so did you use the 3.0 or the 1.0.  I think it might help prevent injury in my hips/groin that seems to show up every couple of years.  Would love to hear as well if they restrict swing in any way.   CORESHORTS | The Original CORESHORTS™ Revolutionary X band design mimics the functional anatomy of the body's core area to boost performance | Anti-odor technology prevents the growth...

      Have You Ever Clean Your Grips?

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think dish soap is ideal. It's not good to wash your hands with dish soap because it strips away all the oils and dries them out a bunch. That's what is making the grip dirty though - you want something that will dissolve oils. Hand soap is generally gentle on your hands and won't do much to clean your grips - at least not without a lot of effort.
