Traveling home yesterday, had a lay over in Sky Habor (Arizona). Picked up a Golf Tips Magazine to read, the article "Power Driving" by Scott Hend, with Tom Ferrell was another article giving you ideas to increase your driving distance with set up, strenght, equipment. In the articel they mentioned they said the ideal launch angle for a drive is 14 to 15 degrees. I would assume that his is the standard? For you guys that have had a chance to get fitted for your driver with launch monitor did you get to 14 or 15 degrees or set on something eles? Why?

Also, does anyone know the ideal launch angle for irons?

Anyways, the launch angle depends on the ball you play, swing speed, shaft, etc. When I've gone through my fittings my ideal angle usually came around 11 degrees

Ditto - it depends on a lot of things. With 14-15 degrees, he probably has very little spin (~1500-1750) because his ball speed is way up there.

    • Played the same course as yesterday today. 6,860 yards, 72.6. Scored better today. Shot a 37-38 for a 75 and did something I don't recall ever having done before. The par 5's run 522-646-523-557 and I birdied (or better) all of them. They only reason I turned in a respectable round was because I played them -5. I only hit one fairway on the front 9 and then hit 4 on the back. Only hit 9 greens today. I didn't hit the ball well at all today, but putted pretty decently. Just was in a weird swing funk. 8 bogies, 6 pars, 3 birdies, and an eagle.
    • Heavy rain from a squall was pounding down. I hit driver on #18 at Pierce Lake to the hole location back right. Probably 230 yards. I knew the shot was good but did not tarry and hustled over to some sheltering trees until the squall passed. Eventually the rain lessened a bit and I jogged over to the green. 6 feet. I missed the putt but the tee shot was still darn good.
    • They would murder my home course (Leslie Park). 6,611 yards/72.0/129. If someone can hit it 300-350 yards, there are multiple drivable par 4’s and all the par 5’s could be reached in two.
    • Day 1 - hit a few balls into net using 9i. Haven’t played but two rounds all year so needing to knock some dust off. Today just revisited some PP from the past (club back & up, extending trail arm)
    • Loving the deal I made.
