Here’s some information that was provided in the January 2010 Trackman Newsletter. I thought some of you would be interested in this info.
2009 Tour Averages
Things to take notice of include carry distances and Max Height. A properly fit set of clubs should roughly max out at same height. When it reaches that height and the angle of descent will vary but as you can see, it is within a few yards of each other. Angle of Attack is another key variable to look at. Most fittings will recommend an upward Angle of Attack for driver. Remember that a positive AoA is designed only for distance. There is some that believe that an upward AoA can be harder to control or that swinging more right to make an upward AoA work is just too hard to repeat. This is because they have a negative AoA with all the other clubs.
It’s possible that they just haven’t been doing it (swinging up) long enough to be comfortable. It’s really hard to say either way but you can see that LPGA pros are hitting up because they want the distance benefit. Follow me on twitter @johngrahamgolf and give me your opinion.
