Launch Monitor Numbers

[msd3075]

A local shop just opened up here in town (Golf Etc. franchise), and I went in to get all my clubs looked at on the launch monitor to see how they stacked up to my swing. My irons were fitted to me about year or so ago so I knew they were what they should be, but I kinda fit myself for my driver seeing as I had a vague idea of what I needed (it's the Titleist listed below). I didn't get a print out of the stats, but here are the main numbers I got form my driver:

Avg. SS = 119 mph
Avg smash factor = 1.43
Avg. launch angle = 9.8*
Avg spin = 2800rpm

I wasn't swing all that well that day and had a few swings where I blatantly came over the top, but I think it was a fair representation of what I could see out on the course.

Are these numbers even remotely optimal? The session I had was more of a "look at what's in your bag" and not a true fitting where we tinker with specs.

Smash factor..? Ludicrous.

Smash factor..? Ludicrous.

The guy there said that was a ratio of your ball speed to your clubhead speed and that it was a way of judging how well you struck the ball.

Avg. SS = 119 mph
Avg smash factor = 1.43
Avg. launch angle = 9.8*
Avg spin = 2800rpm

Those stats are all very good to my understanding (I have no idea what smash factor is, on every launch mointer ive ever used for a club fitting, ive never seen it.)

I think your Launch angle should be 1* higher but everything else is good.

Avg. SS = 119 mph

in theory, a perfect smash factor would be 1.5.
