Just got my swing analyzed by a teacher that works at golf tech(This was at the lpga tourney this weekend). he had me infront of a couple cameras and i hit some balls. then he asked me what i usually shoot, i said low 50's, then he said wow if you wouldnt have told me that i would of thought you shoot in the high 30's, and he said my "X-Factor" is 50 when most tour players is 41. he then said my swing was one of the best he's seen today out of about 250 people. I was pretty excited! lol Do you guys think he was just trying to make me feel good or was he serious?

last time I got a lesson the guy asked me what I shot and I said around 80 or so. He said I would have thought you shot close to even par or better. I felt a lot better about my swing but felt immediately much worse about my short game. lol

How do you calculate the X-factor?

Doesn't matter how good it looks, it's the score that counts.

Ogio Grom | Callaway X Hot Pro | Callaway X-Utility 3i | Mizuno MX-700 23º | Titleist Vokey SM 52.08, 58.12 | Mizuno MX-700 15º | Titleist 910 D2 9,5º | Scotty Cameron Newport 2 | Titleist Pro V1x and Taylormade Penta | Leupold GX-1

Nice. My swing takes practice to time it just right, so I'm guessing my x-factor is like 75 haha

Driver: Callaway Big Bertha Diablo 9º
2 Hybrid: Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood

          Taylormade Tour Preferred PW-7 iron

How do you calculate the X-factor?

If I read correctly in some old Golf Digest, the "old-school" X-factor is the angle between your hips and your shoulders on the top of your backswing. An X-factor of 50 means your shoulders are rotated 50° further back than your hips.

Or, according to the "new school" X-factor, it's the angle between your hips and shoulders when you hit the ball. Then an X-factor of 50° means your shoulders are in an angle of 50° to your hips, or, your right hip (if you're a righty) is in front of your right shoulder by some 50°. Has to do with the coil in your body and the power you can unleash. (google "golf" and "x-factor" if you want to read more) G.

In my ⬠49.95 bag :

Driver : Euhm... not there yet, but hopefully getting closer
Woods : Superfast Burner 3 Wood 15°
i4-PW : CG GoldGW : 252.08SW : CG12 56°Putter : Rossa Suzuka 35"Balls : Gold FX Long

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
