LSD Plot (Launch angle-Spin-Distance)

[RVArya]

I made this plot nearly three years back to help me optimize my driver swing. The data is based on calculations but agrees very well with most real world data including trackman. The plot is little bit busy but it shows clearly why driver fitting is so tough. The vertical axis on the right hand side is driver spin loft. ( I used to call it dynamic loft before trackman). The two solid line that run diagonally represents the landing angle and the area between them is 35-42*. These give the optimal roll after landing.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it's really useful and valuable.

I like this chart...thanks.

Thanks Guys,
I posted this graph to tell people to stop being obsessed by spin rates. You can try VERY VERY hard to reduce spin from 3000 rpm to 2250 and get 1-2 yd more and this is for 160mph ball speed. Not a trivial speed...
I believe that more distance can be gained by making consistent contact at the sweet spot.
