      T F lol. Putting is the worse. Little tip. You can actually use the lines on your ball the line up your shot. Then you can use the lines on your putter to follow the lines on your ball. Sorry if you already knew this.

      Also, denser air is going to slow down the ball a bit while in flight. It's all about the conditions. In some comps the tail wind helps push the balls out to 450+. In my last regional qualifier in Hawaii a slight head wind dropped my shots into the 340s, while 1 guy caught a lull in the wind and hit it 386.

  • @liljackypaper
    @liljackypaper Před 4 lety +1

    I don't think the numbers on that last drive were correct. I was under the impression these guys had to use clubs that were legal in terms of USGA regulations? If that's the case, A 149 mph swing, even if hit perfectly dead center of the face/ball, would yield a maximum flight speed of 223.5 mph. So I think one of those two numbers has to be slightly off 👍

    • @glyphsuritos6588

    • @liljackypaper
      @liljackypaper Před 4 lety +3

      @@glyphsuritos6588 Drivers are allowed to have a maximum smash factor of 1.50 to be considered "legal" under USGA regulations. Smash factor is the relation of club speed to ball speed. So a legal club can yield a smash factor of 1 to 1.50. So at whatever the speed the driver is swung, a regulation ball is only capable of going 150% of that club speed (and that's if the ball is struck optimally or near optimally in the center of the clubface).
      So if you have a swing speed with a driver of 100 mph, even if you pure it the fastest it the ball should be able to go is 150 mph.
      So a 149 mph swing speed with a USGA legal driver should yield AT MOST a 223.5 mph ball flight (149x1.5)... 👍

    • @liljackypaper
      @liljackypaper Před 4 lety +1

      I've heard of guys getting a smash rating of 1.51, 1.52 or even 1.53. Not sure if that's just a small margin of error on the club manufacturer or just a miscalculation by the trackman machine recording the swing!

      @@liljackypaper Smash Factor is a very sensitive measure.
      Club speed has a tolerance of +-1.5 mph for TM3e and +-1.0 for TM4. For a club speed of 100 mph with a ball speed of 150 mph, this will give a variation of the smash factor from 1.478-1.523 (TM3e) respectively 1.485-1.515 (TM4).
      Note that the uncertainty of the clubspeed measurement is really an uncertainty on where on the club head the measurement is referenced to. There are significant differences between heel and toe speed (in average +-6-7%, meaning if center is 100 mph far heel is 93 mph and far toe is 107 mph), so this combined with uncertainty on where the radar reflection origins from on the club head gives this added club speed tolerence.
