I think I have the lowest launch angel in the history of golf LOL.

I went and played on a custom swing monitor as I got fitted for a new 3&5 wood and hybrid, and used a 7 iron to warm up...

Launch angel of 17*...7 iron should be around 21.

I was loving the results though, carry of 192 yards...those steroids must be working

I just thought it was interesting and thought I'd share my rare oddity.

Wow, you carry a 7 iron 192 yards. That's amazing

Fishing for compliments?

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

Nope, I could give a sh*t less what everyone thinks of it. But for me, its a plus in my own book.

hmm i might be able to give u a run for ur money on that one.

i was hitting a few diff. drivers on the golfsmith launch monitor earlier this week and at first my avg. launch angle was around 7 degrees or so and i was only carrying the ball 200 yds. we made a few adjustments to my grip and got it up around 11-13 though and a carry around 220 yds. the guy said that it was still a bit low, but if it was working for me then to just stick with it till the rest of my swing comes around.

longballer, i think you might have been fishing for compliments when you claimed your driver ss was 145 mph....

LOL oh well. At least when he was a 20 handicap he averaged 350 off the tee according to him

Are you sure this wasn't just a jab at the ridiculous swing cameras they use when trying to sell you clubs and how they always overestimate distance?

lol of course the distance was over estimated. I know damn well my 7 iron doesn't go 200 unless I have a nice breeze helping it.

    • Day 288 - 2025-07-15 Back home, but not a lot of time, so, mirror work. Got a nice polo and a nice long-sleeve polo, though. And a ball marker!
    • Don't get the club to come down by adding that much right side bend, yeah.
    • Day 360: did some slow swings, looking for feels to get my hands forward without my hips moving super far forward. 
    • Day 75 (15 Jul 25) - Wedge work today in the backyard.  Focused on setup and  dialing in on immediate target line point in front of club. This drill helps me to center on longer range targets for tee shots as well as approaches.  
    • I still need to do my pieces better.  Still a little steep in the downswing. Hands could get better depth earlier in the backswing.  This shot started left of target and went left. Probably path was out, face was closed a lot.       At A5, it’s probably the best it’s been.  I need to feel more shallowing from A5 to A6. Hands need to go straight down and club needs to shallow. I need to turn. I am just way too closed here. Just trying to buy time to lower the arms. Everything stalls from time to time. Timing is highly variable. Not a big fan of the slight EE.  I am just hanging back at impact.
