Quick Run Down:

28 Male, best round was 103. Started playing golf for the first time in June of last year. Played about 20 rounds of golf or so. I have no Idea what these numbers and stats mean. I am looking to see what is good and what is bad about the picture below and any tips to get the numbers and stats to where they are optimal.Sorry for the quality as I took it with my Iphone. I will type out anything that was cut off below the picture.

I use a 9.5 degree, Taylormade Burner 2.0 Stiff. I am left handed.

Sim Stats

Launch angle: 10 degrees

Ball Speed: 174.21 mph

Ball Path: Right 4 degrees

Club Path: Inside Out 1.0 degree

Club Face: Open 0.5 degree

Carry: 286yards

Bouce: 9 yards

Roll: 13 feet 3"

Total Distance: 299 yards

Offline: 15.53 yards

and I ended up in the rough by a few yards.

I'm not sure the simulator or launch monitor is very accurate. I'm also not sure it was set for a lefty.

If the clubface is open 0.5 degrees that's 0.5 degrees left.

If the path is inside out 1 degree that's 1 degree left.

Yet the "ball path" is 4 degrees right? Is that the initial launch direction or the angle from where the ball finished back to the tee? It's to the RIGHT, when the other measurements are LEFT.

And even if it was 0.5/1 to the right because it gave those numbers for a righty, you'd get a righty push-draw or a lefty pull-cut, so the ball would finish pretty close to online.

That 4 degrees number is screwy, but the others are as well.

What's good is you've been introduced to modern day technology in our game.

What's bad is you've been introduced to modern day technology in our game, a little too soon.

I would get out on to the golf course a little more and learn to hit a few balls around the course. When you get down to about scratch then these figures will become a little more important. Enjoy the game for what it is and leave these modern day simulators with the technicians who enjoy playing with them. Keep it simple, that's my opinion.

    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
    • I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
    • Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
