Maximizing Driver Distance
Optimizing your driver distance requires ideal launch conditions depending on your clubhead speed. Singing with a positive (upward) angle of attack with the driver will increase distance. This is due to reducing the spin on the ball and increasing the launch angle. Hitting down on the driver can increase spin and lower the launch angle. The followin 4 pages of data shows ideal launch conditions for various clubhead speeds.
Generally speaking slower clubhead speeds need a higher launch angle and more spin, compared to a faster clubhead speed which needs a lower launch angle and less spin. Many amateur golfers play with too little loft, producing low shots or low launching high spinning shots which rob the golfer of distance.
For example, a typical amateur club speed of 90 MPH would require a launch angle of 16.4° and a dynamic loft of 18.5 when swinging 5° up on the ball, 0this golfer would often use a 9.5 to 10.5 lofted club and swing 3-6 ° deg down on the ball making it very difficult to launch the ball at the optimal angle and spin.
