Understand Launch Monitor Numbers | TrottieGolf

To help you enjoy my "Tour PLYR Fittings" series I have created this weeks upload.

Fitters & PLYR's all need to know this key data in order to get the most from each session.

As always enjoy & ALL / ANY QUESTIONS are welcome.

Can you do a video explaining different putter shafts and their benefits please? Would love some more information about that. Also, as someone relatively new to the game, I'm not sure exactly what to look for when testing out putters. Love your videos, great information for deeper thinkers of the game.

Really great content and incredible to see the talents these pros have. May I suggest that the majority of your audience are not pros or single figure amateurs. So it would be great to see you work with a few “normal” golfers. Then your audience can relate better. In addition, a typical problem for most amateurs with irons is their hig dynamic lofts. With a 31 deg 7 iron they are often hitting the ball with that loft. The top pros and amateurs are hitting with way less lift and therefore compressing the ball much better. I am sure you can illustrate this and give advice on lowering there dynamic loft and therefore increasing ball speed, length and improved trajectory.

Nice job ty, , love knowledge!!! Quick ? Is there a cut off for swing speed when not to use a low spin Driver ??? Iam border 100 swing speed with Driver and I game the Sim Driver !! Would the Sim Max work better for my swing speed ?? Thanks again awesome video !!

[andyl]

Excellent video, thx👍. Any suggestions for an accurate, portable & cheaper launch monitor that still has the key stats you mentioned? Great tip with the alignment sticks, will definitely use that👍👍👍

[steelerfan]

Great stuff! Can you talk a little about angle of attack from short iron to long iron? I realize some people are diggers and some are pickers, I just was curious how it differs as we move through the bag. Thanks for the awesome content.

OK
is a question. How about a chart showing a range of spin numbers for each club that would be considered average in categories segregated by handicap? Same thing with launch angles.

The concept being a person buys a golf monitor and it tells him the 10 things but with out a desired range or value they dont know if they need more or less. Attack angle will be less on long irons than shorter but by how much etc?

[BatcatCA]

Two questions:
1) How do you calibrate the TM to club speed, and does it need to be done per player?
2) Is there a reason you're not running a newer model TM?

So interesting and a great video
Do pros just need this information?

Loving the videos, great advice and tips made easy for the average golfer. I’m just been promoted to the role of a fitter within a retail business and am absorbing it all at the moment. Yesterday I hit a 7 iron with ball speed 85mph approx, 20deg launch, with only 3500spin 179 carry approx. Slight draw shape. I am curious about the spin, you mentioned take the number on the club and add 500, so I should be looking around 7500 but am closer to half, what’s the effect?. My Smash factor falls between 1.38-1.41. Any feedback would be much appreciated, keep up the great work

When you bring up horizontal swing plane. As a fitter, Very often we get the golfers who are extremely steep, 68-74° swing plane. Attack angle of -4 to -8. With a path that is -6 to -16. Without getting into crazy lessons- how do you alter the clubs to get the best strike in terms of: 1. center ness of contact
2. Efficient contact (solid strike) not thin/fat

[oysteinhoff]

Great stuff, have do you now if you need to cut or ad length on the shafts?

[markdoherty]

Great video trottie! I was wondering how much you can trust the normalised numbers on the trackman? I went to a club fit for the p770 7i and it was telling me ball speed 130, carry around 185-190y with around 6-6.5k spin and I'm only sceptical because I've never hit that distance with a 33 degree lofted 7i before in my life!

[lachieb]

Trottie, I’ve been told that I hit down on my irons too much and my launch is low 7 iron -7/8 13/14 degrees launch. What can I do to lesson the angle of attack

[fire]

How do we know what launch angle is best for each club?

[jonramirez]

Great stuff! Just to clarify, positive path number tell you your swing is “in to out”or “out to in”?

[omnidarkenergy]

Do you weigh the mass of each golf ball? How do you get rpm down from 4500 rpm to 2000 rpm? Ball speed is 172-192mph. Which part of the ball should I hit? Can you make a low torque shaft for me?

[AGClassicCarTuning]

If you're a recreational golfer tending to play up in the hills on your home course where the wind often swirls 30mph ish, what would be the target spin rate for each iron? For eg, your rule of thumbs suggest a 6 iron would normally by in the region of 6x1000 + 500 = 6500 ish. In general I hit the ball further than most recreational golfers with driver (170mph ball speed) and 3 wood (165 ish mph ball speed). However with irons I'm Mr Average for distance and visually it's all height and spin, which of course only gets worse when it's windy. Should I still target a 6500 rpm spin with a 6 iron fitting? Should I aim for 5000rpm due to my home course being wind a lot of the time? Any advice would be more than welcome thanks...

You mentioned the ball has a huge impact on speed. How do you dial in the right ball for a player. I know I have a lower swing speed and trying to find a ball that gives me the best performance without all the tech available.
