Why do I hit 3 wood as far as driver?
One of the primary reasons your 3 wood goes as far as your driver is that your driver may have too little loft for your swing speed. In order to take advantage of lower lofts (under 10 degrees for example), you need to have a relatively high swing speed.
Why do I hit my 5/6 and 7 irons the same distance?
Thanks for writing MyGolfInstructor.com. Having all your clubs go the same distance is a common complaint. His or her club head moves so slow that they may actually hit their wedge further than their 3 wood. The reason being is at least the wedge has loft so the ball will pop up and get some carry.
How much does 1 degree of loft affect distance?
The distance difference between clubs is created equally by the increments in club length and loft angle. The calculations here are based on 1/2″ club length difference = 5 yards distance difference and every 4° loft angle difference = 5 yards distance difference.
How do you keep track of golf stats?
How do you keep track of your golf score? The easiest way to keep track is on your scorecard after each hole. You can also track your fairways, greens, scramble, and putting as well. If you find this distracting during play, wait until later when you’re home from the course.
What happens if ball is too far forward in stance?
The forward ball position shifts the shoulders open to the target, which leads to an out-to-in swing and usually a slice. Standing too far from the ball pulls the upper body downward, leading to a compensating stand-up move through impact, another common cause of the slice.
