Angle of Attack

[langer]

Brian and team,
What would be the optimum angle of attack for the following clubs.
3 wood , 5 wood, hybrid 18, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,PW.
Would the Trackman tour averages be a good start point?
Should they change for women players?
Could you use angle of attack to fine tune True path?
Any drill on how to hit down less.

Am not Brian but have some problems myself with Angle of Attack.
I would say the PGA tour averages would be a good starting point.
The ladies are a little less than the men, so they should change.
Some players do hit down more to fine tune HSP i think Brian mentioned that David Toms does this.
Would be nice if any one has some drills to help with A of A be it to hit down more or to hit less down.

to hit down more place a piece of plywood 5 inches before the ball and don't hit it!

the clubhead wlil go more down and out.

to create lower attack angle numbers try and get your HSP more left

Danny, can you explain how or why a more leftward HSP could lead to a lower AoA? What have you seen on flightscope? After playing with Damon the other day, and a few quick hooks later, we discussed precisely what TWITCH said, and it really helps me hit a nice soft fade. Feeling a lower AoA def. makes me feel like my hsp is more left. Man, I need to call you about flightscope, I need one of those lil gadgets bad!!!!

Just make sure it doesnt go out and then down, which is what I see when people do this drill.

Argh, sorry I can see this either way, depending on problems. You mean on the target side, right? A shallow flipper might need a board on both sides!
