As promised, I am posting up some Trackman data from my trip to New Orleans. Many thanks to Brian and Tom for the hospitality, it was alot of fun. I went down with an "anti block fade" pattern that has a SDish backswing and NHA downswing. My fear is getting "under" and in light of recent Trackman data, i was making certain I was hitting down and left if the ball was on the ground. So.....
9 Iron
Attack Angle -7.5
Plane Line -4.2
True Path -0.3
Face Angle -1.3
6 Iron
Attack Angle -6.4
Plane Line -4.6
True Path -0.7
Face -1.3
Driver
Attack Angle -2.4
Plane Line -1.4
True Path 0.8
Face Angle -1.2
So as you can see, my left plane line was cancelled out for the most part by my downward hit, making my true path for all clubs very close to zero. Pretty good huh? Little pull draw,alot of straight shots, opposite of push fade. I'm golden, right?
Not so fast.
In the course of my grinding, i had gotten too far left and too far down. I kept hearing Brian say "too much popout, too much popout". And he was right. Later that day, we played on the windy North course at "the Park". Granted, I hadn't played in 4 solid months but I felt like I couldn't bore the ball thru the wind and didnt hit many real good high quality shots. And there's a real good reason why. In trying to get down and left, I over did it and got my spin numbers to high with all clubs and landing angle too high, which was part of the Trackman report. So a good session with Brian, a little less popout shallowed me out and I'm feeling great.
As far as Trackman..............unreal. The data was soooo helpful. No grasping at straws, just cold hard facts. It leaves absolutely no doubts as to what you need to work on. Its absolutely incredible.
Any thoughts?
