To help you hit longer AND straighter drives, we’ll need to look at every “layer of launch” in your swing. Beneath the degrees of loft your driver has, there are five launch layers for us to consider.

The speed at which the golf ball leaves the face after impact is affected by your swing speed and impact location on the face. Striking closer to the hitting zone of the face increases ball speed.

Depending on your swing speed, there’s an ideal amount of backspin you need to generate. For slower swing speeds; that’s below 3,000rpm. For faster swing speeds; it’s below 2,500rpm.

Your attack angle impacts the loft of your club at impact (dynamic loft). This alters your launch angle as well as spin rate.

You want to square the face at impact. A driver face that’s open relative to your swing path, cuts across the ball, throwing it off its spin axis and leaving you with a sliced tee shot.

Many golfers who position the ball too far back in their stance create an overly negative attack angle, resulting in excessive spin and lost yards. Some golfers place the ball too far forward, causing them to open their shoulders towards the target line.
Then there are other considerations, such as shaft length, flex and weight, the size of the clubhead and the type of ball you play with. It can be overwhelming, but don’t worry; we’ll help you get all the pieces of the puzzle in place so you can hit better tee shots.
A fitting is the only way for us to build a full launch profile for your swing. And no matter what skill level you’re playing at, everyone – from total beginner to seasoned pro – benefits from a fitting. So, if you want to go farther down the fairway, let’s get you fitted.
