Trackman monitors

[Dan42nepa]

i understand but i have a new set of g30 irons and wanted to try to gauge the distance between each.. One reason is i think the length is the same on certain shafts and only the loft is different. I forget which ones but i remember reading that on one of the ping sites. I think the 9 and the wedge and u wedge?

That's exactly why many people use a launch monitor. Plus, you get some idea how far you can hit a ball.

Exactly, the lengths and lofts are what make the clubs a few yards different from each other.

You can also play a club back and get roughly the same spin but get more distance or the same distance with a lower trajectory. There's no set club you use for a fixed distance from the pin. It's kind of a feel. That being said, you still have to build up your shot zones with any particular setup and compensate for your current conditions. It's all kind of complicated.

Better players know how far they can hit a club under more conditions than a bogey golfer. This is why they can hit more greens than the rest of us.

This all started because i was getting a puttter shaft shortened and while waiting hit a callaway xhot 4 wood and consistantly showed the distance at 235 to 240 yards. I would normally hit that about 190. Either the monitor is incorrect or I need to go back and buy that club.. lol

Okay, that much difference could be a strategic hot and humid summer day simulation of how far you could hit a ball given generous launch and roll conditions to potentially entice you to make a purchase.

 

BTW, in the OP you mentioned 210 yards versus 190 yards. That's a little closer to what I expect to be the maximum difference. I don't think you can setup a launch monitor with 24% improvement in distance?

Another thing, is there some sort of print out you can get afterwards that records all your readings?

I have done a distance check with the Trackman and pro where you go through your set and hit 5 balls with each club at the end of which they send you a pdf report with all the numbers.  I assume you can get other reports and data out although I haven't ever asked for it.
