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?

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By mchepp ·

      When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.

      Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight.

      Cobra 3D Printed Irons

      By mchepp ·

      I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
