Just wanted to post these numbers and get your inputs as to the launch angles and does it really matter as much as everyone is saying it does. I know I am trying to de-loft the club at impact but based off of what the LM are saying its obvious that I am not.
A little background about me. Was a golf everyday person from 95-07 got down to a 3-ish handicap was always about 1 club shorter than others with my irons but was as long if not longer with Driver. Life changes put my golf days on hold till recently and I got the bug that never went away was just in hiding. I took PGA superstore membership deal in July last year and hit on GC2 there. My numbers and swing was horrible but was committed to getting back to my younger days which eventually lead me to this site..the R-Motion.. and recently a ST.
I am finally getting my rotation speed back and was hitting on ST last night and was happy with the distance and accuracy (for most part) that were close to those that I remember when I was a daily golfer. So I took my 7 Iron (2004 Callaway X-16 Pro 34 degree loft) to the PGA store tonight to compare to what I was getting on the ST last night (did this same thing with R-Motion and was pleased as well).
I do not have the GIP yet so I cannot edit my ST sessions like I could on the GC2 so just going to add one of the pictures that show one of my shot results that were similar during my ST session (If you can edit them without a GIP please tell me how!!)
My question is for all you number cruncher's out there. Seeing how my Launch Angles are WAY higher than normal for a 7 iron with 34 degrees loft .. does it matter if I am getting the carry I am expecting from that club? And if I am able to somehow get them lower with same ball speed would that equate to more carry?
On a side note after my session tonight at the PGA store.. I hit the Srixon Z785, the Titleist AP2 and the Taylor Made P970 all 7 irons and all had 20+ yards more carry (so hard not to make a purchase with that much improvement)!!
