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.

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.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
