I was just on a flightscope this past week, and had my numbers looked at.

The one thing I never asked the guy was how much could I reduce the spin by switching balls. I currently use the Pro V1, and that is the ball that I was using on the monitor.

My numbers were:

club speed: 109.5
ball speed : 163.9
spin: 2860
carry: 272
smash: 1.5

Would changing to a Pro V1x reduce the spin that much? I hate to get rid of the feel of the Pro V1, but I would like to get that spin down another 500 rpm's if possible. Any suggestions?

What was your launch angle? What shaft were you hitting? The V1x or Z-StarX may bring your spin down, but it's not all that high to begin with.

At a 2.8 marker, you may be better off sticking with a ball you like the feel of and looking at head/shaft options to optimize your spin.

In the Bag: TaylorMade R11 TP - TaylorMade R7 TP TS - Cleveland Halo - TM TP 2009 3-PW - Vokey SM 52 - Vokey SM 60 - Rife Barbados CS - ProV1x 


On the Computer:  Analyzr Pro 
 


I believe my launch angle was about 13.8. I am not 100% sure if that is the exact number (I didn't write it down), but that's pretty close. I do know he said we needed to get that down.

I was hitting a UST Proforce V2 75.

The numbers listed above were using that shaft with a 9* KZG PTI head.

    • Yeah, uhhh… keep them dry? Because, yeah, the chrome is partly to help them not rust. You could have them re-plated, though you'd have to check on the legality. You could have them refinished by a company like this: https://www.theironfactory.com (they have closed, but there are still some other companies like them). Or, use them until they rust out a bit too much, and buy a new set.  
    • On further reflection, I take back my "stupid" comment. It does make sense when put in context that the rule is to prevent any external attachments to the face of the club. Any change to that rule to allow exceptions would complicate the rule unnecessarily when it is easy enough to remove the stickers, etc.  I was surprised with her coaches advice and I've told her to just remove them before any competitions. 
    • Hey guys so I sanded the top.of my irons I'm worried about rust I dint know that they had a finish any helpful tips would be much appreciated
    • High school golf coaches are often not really knowledgeable about the rules, I have an issue when a coach tells a player NOT to follow A specific rule.  As for the "stupidity" of this particular rule, I can't see a way to allow SOME stuff on the club face without allowing everything on the clubface.
