Help me understand my numbers

[Mike86]

Hello!

I tried a Sportscoach simulator this week, which gives numbers on club path, face angle etc. I got to play around with it for a couple hours by myself, and need some help understandig the numbers i produced.

Right handed golfer; My swing path was around 55 dgr in to out, and face 58-65 closed.

Isn't this a bit extreme? I assume that this is relative to target, so the face is around 10 closed to the path?

The ballflight started straight and drawed a bit to the left, with an occational straight pull or pull hook. With the seven iron, maybe 3-10 yards left. The ball flight was relative straight. I cant understand that so extreme numbers produce that OK ball flight. Could someone please explain this to me?

Carry with 7 iron was 135 y and total 140 y.

I can't help you much with your numbers, but welcome to TST!!

Welcome to the site @Mike86. Those numbers seem odd. Usually at impact, the degrees for path and face should be small, <10 degrees. Is there a decimal missing?

Thanks for the reply. No, no decimal missing.

See the attaced picture of how the numbers were presented. For me it was around 55 degrees, and the club head illustration were going almost across the screen.
My distances and dispersion were accurate as to how i play on the course.

It can't be possible to swing 55 degrees from the inside, seems very extreme to me.

This screen shot says your path is 4.0 degrees in-out and the face is 4.0 closed to the path. That is pretty normal numbers. The path on a simulator is perpendicular at 90 degrees to your stance. So your swing path was at 4.0 degrees inside that 90 (the red path line). This ball would be a draw or overdraw.

Those numbers make no sense at all I could understand if you were 5.5 degrees inside out with a 5.8 degree closed face. But even that would produce a pretty low hook to the left.  I am a ClubFitter and Golf Instructor. You would be better off about 1-2 degrees in side out with a Square club face.

That picture is something i took from the Sports Coach website, I did not take pictures during my session.

Must be something wrong with the readings from the simulator, although the ball flight seemed absolutely alright. I used all my clubs and the distances and ball flight were just like when i play outside, i.e. 135 yards carry with 7 iron with 3-10 yards miss to the left on bad shots.

 

I don't know how Sports Coach perform against Foresight etc, but the number seem really off on path and face.

Put a golf tee or a rubber tee just inside the golf ball and try and hit the ball without hitting the tee. This will probably give you the feeling that your coming over the top, however you won't be. The more inside out you swing the more you have to close the club face to avoid the ball going right.  Like I said before your swing to much inside out and your gonna have s real hard time hitting the ball high and straight. I would also get closer to the ball as this will help you to get your arms swing more on plane and working less underneath the proper plane.

The numbers aren't right at all. No sense in discussing them further.
