I love to draw the ball and I'm not a big fan of fading the ball with any club over a 7 iron unless I'm hitting out of rough. There are certain dogleg right par fours that I play that demand I hit the ball 250 left to right with no bailout right or left. When I try to hit a push fade I: aim...

What would be their typical day? 1-2 hours working out? 1-2 hours hitting balls? 2-3 hours playing golf? 1-2 short game? I suspect they hit at least 200-300 balls per day.

What role does the landing angle play regarding spinning the ball off a green that is tilted (say 3%) back to front? For example, if two wedge shots land on the green at the same spin rate but one hits at a 60* angle and the other at 35* which one will spin off the 3% slope faster (if at all)...

Enjoy: http://www.trackman.dk/download/newsletter/newsletter9.pdf I'm sure the fun bunch had all of this stuff covered before their research a thon. Well, I'm sure the research a thon II will be better. :mad: You need more than just a camera and the Internet to make these calculations...

Has anyone found that the faster the clubhead speed the more likely it is to have a path that's out to in? (I'm right handed). I don't know if this is from my pattern, but when I was hitting balls on Flightscope tonight and noticed the faster my clubhead speed the more my path was out to in.

Brian - What's the theory behind your line of scrimmage alignment process? Does it have to do with overcoming the concept of convergence? When my left shoulder is pointing at the target I feel square to the target even though I know I'm not square (i.e., parallel left). I've felt this way...

For hook shots??

Do the new ideas about the release change how people play sand shots? If so, how? Seems to me that low point control is even more important on sand shots than any other shot.

Is it fair to say that handle dragging will generally lead to medium to large divots and tugging small to barely noticeable divots on iron shots? I'm not looking for absolutes or exceptions, just what generally happens. My divots are almost non-existent when I tug back and up with the shaft.

The typical kinematic sequences for full shots is (I believe) as follows: hips, shoulders, arms, hands, and then clubhead What's the typical kinematic sequences for wedge shots 20-50 yards and HOW does one increase clubhead speed so that the clubhead travels faster without digging the...

Would weak flex shafts allow one to feel the clubhead during the inward pull better? I suspect it might easier to fell the clubhead during "tug out of the ground" with a whipier shaft (but my suspicion could be wrong).

What generally happens to the clubhead when coming into the impact area (say 6-8 inches before impact) in terms of the horizontal nature of the movement (i.e., not concerning about the vertical/AoA aspect)? Does the clubhead act like its on an elipse? If so, for how long? An arc? how long...

If the putter face is closed to the path by (say) 3* at impact and the ball is on a flat surface, will the axis of the ball tilt and cause the ball to "break"? Sometimes it looks like a ball on the putting green is moving sideways because of the ball spining (forward spin in this case) on a...

Why is it hard for most golfers to have good distance control with a 60* wedge? I'm looking for an explanation tied to impact parameters/club design. I really looking for the "why" to this question.

Do they try to hit the ball higher or lower on courses with tight driving holes? If they hit it higher, do they do it with more dynamic loft AND spin or just more dynamic loft without a significant increase in spin?

How far out are we from having disc regeneration? Any other cutting edge methods to deal with herniated discs (L5-S1 in particular)? I figure this issue affects a lot of members on this site and I would love a "trackman" to repair my bad back. Killing me right now. When you have to breathe...

I understand that the face/path dispersion influences the tilt of the spin axis. What else influences the tilt of the spin axis and how? If spin loft influences the tilt of the spin axis, how? I don't understand how spin loft (dynamic loft - attack angle) would alter the spin axis itself.

Are fat shots reduced by a clubface that is closing down before and through impact? For example, on wedge shots from 30-60 yards I can hold the clubface with the swing, through impact and it's easy to hit fat shots on soft turf. However, if I hit the same short shot and try to release the...

When I hit my iron shots thin (and even my woods for that matter) the shot goes relatively straight. I understand that vertical gear effect will cause a shot hit below the COG to have more spin. However, why does a thin shot (generally) go straight? I presume a thin shot doesn't tilt the spin...

I noticed there is a Trackman University proram in my area in the fall. How in depth is such a program? Is it better for beginners who don't understand correct ballflight at all? Something for everyone? Is it highly techinal (which I would prefer)? Just wondering if anyone else on this site...
