  • Wedges - jump in ball speed

    Occassionaly when I'm hitting my 54 degree wedge I see a jump in ball speed. Normally on a full shot my ball speed would be 95 mph, but about 1 in 3 shots I see the ball speed register in the 120 to 130 mph range, with the launch angle still being correct. Any thoughts on why this might be and how to correct it?

    are the long ones fat? If I catch my wedges even a little fat, they go too far.

        a weakness of the protee system is the high lofted shot, bc the club sometimes passes the ball track before the ball and that results in crazy ball speeds. there are settings to fix that for pitching and chipping but I don't know how to fix it on full shots.

          I agree on the short shots, with the clubhead passing the ball, but don't think that's happening here.

              yes I agree on this been trying to fine tune this but it is frustrating as I can take 5 shots exactly the same and go from 30 yards to 70 yards when the lie is 50 yards to pin, I know my shot at this distance IRL I know my swing and ball contact are spot on and I get these lies its not every hole this happens though.

                Yes I know short shots have their problems as well, but I'm talking about full shots here.

                With regards to the short shot though, I've found it helps to reduce chipping and pitching distances to 27m in the interface, seems to make the 30 plus yard pitch shots much more predictable.

              I will try that but my full shots are the same full swing lob wedge goes 135 yards that's a head scratcher for me but that happens to me also. if that what you mean. I know my IRL game really well and in a perfect world would love the sim and the IRL to be within margins of each other, I will get it figured out eventually its a lot of tweaking in the interface and asking others what they are doing in the interface and comparing data.

                Yes the full lob wedge example you give is more what I'm talking about, but for me my 54 degree wedge as I rarely hit a full out lob wedge.

              So this issue still persist, albeit not very often, so far I've seen jumps in my 54, 7 iron and 5 wood speeds occur, where they go from normal of about 90, 122, 143ish to 124, 154 and 165 respectively. Happens about 1 in 20 shots or so. Would be nice to have 154 ball speed on a 7 iron IRL though, lol.

                You guys should turn on ....Shot Recording = On in your settings. This way you can hit away with the 7 iron and when you get an odd shot..... go and look at all of the shots together.

                  I feel like it should be required...

                  I agree, it should be part of the tournament rules. It is really silly not to use such a great tool.

                I don't understand your suggestion. Who should go and look at them together? Myself and Protee?

                  I meant that you could look at the all the shots together. If you have Shot Recording turned on, you can record all of the data for every shot. Hit 20-30 7 irons and when you have a misread.... you can check the data to see if there is some info that you can pass on to ProTee. You can use the search button in recorded shots to just show 7 irons. I have a GSA system which is very close to ProTees. I too have the odd shot that carries too far. I would say about 1 in 100 will do this. Not so much with the wedges but sometimes with 8-6 iron. Adding 25 yards to a 7 iron can really mess you up during a game. Shot recording is a great tool. I use it when I make small changes to the swing. It is awesome to have that data.

                    Yes and I responded to goatbarn that all players (especially tour players) should turn on shot recording so we can track the history.

                      So does that mean that every single shot for every single players is saved? Where are they saved and how do you do it? I didn't see the option in the settings.

                        Yes, Maybe ProTee can make a video....... hint , hint. For me it is in the config file. When you first open up TGC..... stop the server. Then My settings will go from a red X to green. Click on that.... there you will find shot recording. Along with a few other settings like green speed.
