Attack Angle is the direction the club head is moving (up or down) at impact.
Shots hit off the ground should have a negative attack angle in order to create ‘ball first’ contact.

In fact, adding 1 mph of club speed can increase your distance by up to 3 yards with the driver.
The highest […]
Launch Angle is the angle the ball takes off at relative to the ground.
Launch angle is highly correlated to dynamic loft.
Launch angle will always be a little less than dynamic loft, but will have a similar value.
Along with ball speed, launch angle is a primary component to determining the height […]
Spin Rate is the amount of spin on the golf ball immediately after impact
Spin rate has a major influence on the height and distance of a shot.
Spin rate is one of the least appreciated numbers, especially in windy conditions.
A high spin rate is the enemy, particularly when hitting in to […]
Smash Factor is ball speed divided by club speed.
Smash Factor relates to the amount of energy transferred from the club head to the golf ball.
The higher the smash factor the better the energy transfer.
A golfer would hope to achieve a smash factor near 1.50 on driver shots.
That means for a […]

What is the Low Point?
Low point is defined as being before or after impact.
First, find impact which is represented by the geometric center of the […]
