Driver test with Sky Trak #2

[nicklas]

I made a new (3/3-18) driver test this weekend. Attached the file if anyone is interested to see some result from an amatuer.

I am a 4hcp, 48 years old, 197cm, 110kg. So you know whats hitting... I have been playing whole my Life. Hitting indoor skytrak since 3 years.

All shots made with ProV1X. Indoor.

Driver: Ping G400 max 9 deg
Driver1: Wilsson C300 9 deg
Driver2: Taylor made I3 10.5 deg
Driver3: Mizuno GT180 9.5 deg
Driver4: Callaway GBB 9 deg. 6 years old

Some of those shots you are are 9degrees off line... Are you aiming off-line with the skytrak on purpose? If I am 7degrees off-line, it was a HORRIBLE shot and I'm a 13hdcp. Eitherway, I love reading this kind of stuff, so thanks for sharing.

[nicklas]

I know.
It is a Indoor bad habbit to pull the shots. Even though I have 3m tomroof and plenty of space to swing it stills feels like swinging inside an old telephone both.. ;-)
9 degree off line is normaly out of bounds...It happens but not that many times.

Still getting to grips with SkyTrak...what measure are you referring to being offline by 8 or 9 degrees? Do you mean offline which is actually measured in meters or feet?

[nicklas]

Not sure what you mean. You can actually see the side degree in column 5?

It seems like you might be launching it a little low for your ball speed. I would take your average driver numbers and go to https://flightscope.com/products/trajectory-optimizer/ You can put different launch angles, ball speeds, backspin etc. into the calculator and it will show you the ball flight, carry distance, roll out distance(on different turfs). Its pretty awesome. I thought I was launching my ball too high for a long time (~18.5* launch angle) and I put my numbers into this calculator and it said that actually ~18* launch angle is optimal for my ballspeed and backspin!

Also backspin is high for that much ball speed. Losing distance. Driver#2 shot 10 has much better launch numbers and is 10-15 yards farther for similar ball speed.
