During the Master’s several of the announcers commented on not only how far Rory hits the ball but also how high (and before the 10th how accurate, too) … I realize that swing speed (and the resulting ball speed) can account for the distance component but can some of the more knowledgeable posters shed some insight on what exactly it is in his mechanics that produces such a high trajectory coupled with that distance – especially regarding those shots from the fairway with the long irons and fairway woods. Any idea what rough combination of TrackMan numbers (Angle of Attack, Path, etc.) would yield the high, long and accurate shot? Thanks.
Rory’s High Ball Flight

No experts biting yet. So let's get it rolling: Rory hits it really hard and doesn't mind doing so using high spin ball, his hands are not too far ahead of the ball meaning he is not delofting it, and........his hips do something funny (stall). He obviously has very soft and relaxed arms through impact - note the wrap finish - and that would also add to the high draw shape IMO.

Wrong. Low spin loft, period.
