I have been to an indoor driving range with foresight sports GC2 tracking computer device and have loads of data. I have about 150 shots with my driver detected. If you are interested what might happen to your shots if your swingspped is about 80 mph, it is a very exciting reading for quiet evenings. The only problem is that basically all my shots have closed clubface at impact, from 0.5 up to 7 degrees. I am going to work on this mistake as soon as possible. Anyway, I have learned a lot of theory if not practice from the data. Now I understand how launch angle, left or right side spin form my shots, I understand where my hooks and slices come from, I can imagine all the shots and their shape just reading the data now. Sorry, but I love it. Of course, now I am going to work with the data and try to change with my online teacher the biggest mistakes. I haven't posted my swing video here yet as first I want to shorten my backswing, still struggling there, plus based on the data, I want to open the clubface a tiny little bit, or even better square it. So if you want to see the data and understand what happens to your swing with speed of about 80 mph, I can send you the file in private. Oh and my shots go everywhere so you can find your typical shot there... unless you are a decent driver, of course. For those people, I will have data next fall, lol...

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.
