I recently read in the trackman newsletter that a positive angle of attack is better than 0 or negative. A very interesting article that seemed to say that we should be hitting up on the driver and not down. Has anyone else read this?

i think thats for absolute best alignments for distance. however, with regards to control and FLW and all that, level or negative is probly more usefull for an average golfer, IMHO

Why did they choose -5 angle of attack for hitting down? Does anyone who teaches hitting down with driver say that you should hit down this much? Seems like the people that advocate hitting down say that it should be slightly down, not chopping.

I wonder how much the ball position would have to change to go from -5* to +5* (all else being equal)

The charts indicate that a minus 5* angle of attack can equate to an increase of 20 mph of ball speed over a 5* positive angle of attack. Can anyone explain this? It doesn't make sense to me. Thanks.

Technology is great. Information is great. Technology and information in the right hands is worse than no technology and misused information.

Whoops! I started at the swing speed and went over and down! I knew something was wrong. Thanks!

Wishon is a pretty good source for the technology of the club
