Is anyone familiar with this device? I am wondering if there is a calibration or way to vary settings. The titleist and Cleveland fitters both used this device the day I tested the Titleist my ball speed was averaging about 159 and the carry 273. The Cleveland measurement showed a ball speed of 152 and a ave carry of 262. foreeyes.jpg

I thought that maybe I was not swinging the same, possibly tired or sore from working out and the ball speed was down or the shaft was it. Then I remembered that I hit various different shafts at each place and not much changed.

Does anyone know if these machines vary per device?

Obviously the titleist is just a better driver.......

There is some variance between machines but the foresight is considered pretty accurate.  Ideally you would want to test clubs on the same machine. The predicated numbers (i.e. carry) I think can be tweaked by changing the temperature and altitude assumptions but things like ball speed and spin should be good. I find swing speed is a lot more consistant for me than ball speed which is what you would expect. I think most of the cleveland drivers are longer (~46") compared to the titleist (45"). Some people get more ball speed with the longer driver. Most don't.

    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
