I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I'm pretty sure those numbers he gave you are not accurate. If you are getting ball speeds in the range of 150-157 with a 100-105mph club head speed, resulting in a smash factor of pretty much 1.5. Even the plus handicap above is only managing a smash factor of 1.4. I believe my club head speed is 95-100 with ball speed in the 130's.

Keep in mind he's also swinging that fast and accurately. More or less anyways. It plays within his game, regardless.

115-120 in february, dunno how accurate those things are anyway.

the maximum distance I have attained far exceeds the carry and roll of a 120SS.

Speaking of ..what is the max distance attainable at 120SS? 130SS?

There is a formula for distance and speed of ball though. Ill ask the google.

SS and pure impact would generate the 1.5 ball speed effect. But if us mere mortals are able to drive a ball with roll to 350 yards max our SS have to be a certain minimum speed.

there are some long hitters here.

The best golfers in thw world are on the internet. The guys I golf with must not have computers as they can only drive it 225- 275 yards. Of course we are at see level.

I'm not arguing that you hit the ball 370 with some wind on your back but 137 club head speed, that's ridicules for a 13 handicap. I don't believe a 13 handicap when he says he hit a golf ball 370 on to a green, maybe 370 but on to a green, really?

    • Hello Everyone, I am moving to a new house and first thought... let's have a room for indoor golf practice! I know many of you love to record your swings, but indoor there is always the issue of the blurred clubhead at impact due to the poor lighting compared to practicing in the sunlight. Has anyone figured out a combo of camera and indoor lighting to get good results at 240fps,  720p?  
    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost.
