Brian,
What is your though regarding the relationship between angle of attack and inside path with smash factor/ball speed/total distance. Had a fellow the other day with outside-in path of 4 degrees with and upward strike of 6 degrees with a 7 iron. His smash factor was a paltry 1.15 After 30 minutes we had him 3 degrees inside path with a 4 degree downward angle of attack and his smash factor improved to 1.35 and distance jumped 22 yards from 123 to 145 yards.
My question is at what point, do you feel that increasing smash factor/distance becomes detrimental to accuracy/trajectory at some point by increasing downward angle of attack and corresponding inside path relationship? ? 6 down and 6 inside like Kenny Perry a bad thing? 9 down and 5 inside like Charles Howll III?
Thank you
