      He's incredibly efficient, it's amazing to watch. Hes only been actively trying to gain speed using ground force etc and different techniques for a few years. Seen another video with Dr Kwon where he said he went from a pb 125mph swing to a 148mph in only around a year through his technique. So there's hope of some gains for us mortals 😂

  • @ddeboy002

    as for the spin reasoning... the softer ball will flatten more and have less grip in the groves as it flattens out. As for the stiffer ball-the groves bite at the hard cover and spin it. ON par 3s I use hard cover-on par 4 and 5 soft cover.

    Stark differences, but is this mainly a question of compression? About to switch from the 2020 Tour B X to the vice pro plus (they released a cool color option). The vice is a few compression points lower. Do you think I'm gonna see issues with speed and spin, or should they be in a similar category? I'm about 5mph slower than Drew based on the video.

    So my question would be - for someone who swings closer to 100 mph with a driver - are you going to see the response based on the irons (since it is closer to normal driver's swing speed) or should they use the firmer ball? Mygolfspy says the firmer one is always longer unless you are a slow swinger.

    At a much slower driver club speed, that of an 80 year old super-senior player with club speed 86.3 and ball speed 127.9, would you still get faster ball speed from the firmer compression ball vs the softer compression ball? To use your basketball analogy, would the harder basketball still bounce faster and higher than the softer basketball if they were bounced against the floor by a non-basketball player vs a pro?

    • @danielcohen3159
      @danielcohen3159 2 года назад +2

      John - Yes, at your speed (which is still pretty good for 80, by the way!), you would still see more ball speed with driver with a firmer ball, but the difference in speed and distance would be pretty minimal. However, with irons and pretty much every other club in the bag, a firm ball will be shorter than the low-compression ball.

    • @johnk.atchley5079
      @johnk.atchley5079 2 года назад

      @@danielcohen3159 Thanks. I will be 81 on June 17. By the way, is the shorter distance with a firm ball the result of a swing speed not fast enough to compress the ball, or is it the result of a higher spin rate on the firm ball owing to the cover? I have come to think that it may be just as important, once you have a driver with a shaft you like, and irons with shafts you like, to do a ball fitting to see which ball among many gives you the best results. The other thing that affects me is that I play very traditional forged blade irons with weak lofts, so at my age and swing speed there are a lot of compromises. My 7 iron with a 36 degree loft was my 150 yard club 20 years ago, then it got increasingly shorter to where these days it's basically a 135 club with range balls. Once in a while I might hit a perfect shot that flies 140 or a bit more, but can't depend on that. So losing another 5 yards depending on the ball could be a bummer. Unless the trade off is stopping better on the green and not running over.

      @danielcohen3159 2 года назад +1

      @@johnk.atchley5079 John - To tell the truth, I'm not 100% sure why the distance with irons drops off at slower speeds with the firmer ball. I'm guessing that it is both the factors you mentioned, compressing the ball less and higher spin. But one of the things that I took away from the last My Golf Spy ball test was that for most golfers, their "best fitting" ball is going to be in the middle of the pack with regards to launch, spin, and everything else. So the only balls that will be truly detrimental for a slower swinger with regards to iron distance are the extremely firm ones (ProV1X Left Dash, Chrome Soft X LS, Mizuno RB Tour X, etc) and/or high spinning (Kirkland, Mizuno Tour RB-X again, etc). But then again, there will be plenty of slower swingers whose game fits those balls perfectly for one reason or many! I don't know what your gamer ball is, but I would give the Bridgestone BR-X a try. You're giving up nothing with that ball except maybe a little spin. It's a gem.

      @@danielcohen3159 I have played quite a few different balls. Last year I started mostly playing the Callaway ERC Soft Triple Track, and also tried a sleeve of the Callaway Super Soft. Then I was given a sleeve of Taylor Made TP5x balls at a TM demo day. Later I bought a dozen Titleist ProV1x yellow balls in mid-summer. I was looking for the highest rate of spin with a wedge in order to get approach shots to stop on some hard, fast greens at one public county course I like, instead of seeing a wedge land on the green and then run off the back, and I had seen a test of about 25 balls that showed the Titleist was highest on that score. But they felt too hard and did not seem to go as far with my driver as what I had been using. So I bought a dozen Bridgestone Tour B RXS (green box) because I wanted a ball that felt good off the club face, that felt like a squashed it, but that also had a high spin rate on approach shots. I don't lose a lot of balls, so that box lasted until this year. I also gave away a couple to other players. Then this spring I gave the Tour B RX balls (red box) a try. They definitely feel harder than the RXS, and I could not really see an appreciable gain in distance. Then most recently I bought a dozen Mizuno Tour X balls, in part because I had a sleeve from last year and gave one to a fellow player who really liked it, felt it had impressive pop off the face and got his best drive of the day with it. To me they feel okay, a bit softer than the Pro V1x, maybe a bit softer than the Bridgestone B RX but with more pop. But all of that is hard to verify. And of course, I have a dozen Callaway ERC soft balls sitting on the shelf at home that a neighbor gave me for Christmas. These are supposed to be an improvement over the previous ERC ball, so guess I will have to put them in play and see. And just by the way, I found a Vice Pro Plus ball on the course. Hit it a couple of times. Felt like a rock. For sure would not go for them. I guess the only way to really tell which ball is best for oneself is to go to a club fitting studio and pay to do a ball fitting with a half dozen different balls and one's own clubs.

      Bryson is using a single plane swing so it looks more awkward. His idea is on the downswing, the club follows the exact same path as it did on the backswing, literally straight back, straight through. You have to be stiff to keep that path so power takes muscle. But if you can make that work, you're eliminating a variable and you can be much more consistent.

    The peak height tip is very good, thank you. Like Drew, my “chill” iron swing is between 105 and 115 clubhead speed, and i do notice a massive difference in ball height, especially into the wind, based on which ball I pick. I tend to stay away from Bryson compression level balls as… it destroys my drivers, so i go more for a relax 180 ball-speed on a soft ball, for the sake of keeping my drivers in 1 piece longer. Based on this as i do hate the height on my balls, I may just switch to a harder ball for iron shots. Thanks guys, very informative.

    Like to see a more relatable swing speed for the average golfer to see what the ball does, most of us don't swing anywhere near these speeds.

      This was more for fun and entertainment. I am sure you can scroll through their arsenal of videos and find one that better suits you about compression. This video is for people who want to see someone create insane speeds effortlessly and the issues he experienced with fittings and ball testing.

    Hi guys, i always had a clubheadspeed of about 96 mph and a ballspeed of about 132 mph with my 6i. Could the shaft or ball be a reason why my balls flew relatively short for the stats (about 175-180 yards carry straight ballflight).
    Regards ✌️

      @@Samson.Boedefeld It does look a couple of degrees higher launching for those spin numbers. I'd say you should be around 16deg (+/- 2 deg). Different type of shaft may help with that.

      It’s a spin issue, you’re spinning a 6 iron at the old adage of 1000rpm x the iron number. First thing is I’d check your lofts, they might just be weaker lofts. 2nd, what club heads are you playing? I’ve found you will find more launch/spin changes in clubheads than in shaft changes; especially in mid/short irons.

    This was very interesting, especially as an average-speed swinger. I've always imagined what it would be like to have Drew's kind of speed (or Ian's!), but I never thought about the pitfalls of that speed. I recently played a lot of golf in Nebraska, where a 15-mph wind was considered a calm day. I didn't have to think much about the ball ballooning into the wind, because I don't hit it high enough to balloon! I just took two more clubs (or three...or four) and hit more or less a normal shot - maybe back in the stance a bit to keep it down. And downwind I knew it would carry a little further, but not a lot, because again I don't hit it that high to start with. Really, if the slower swinger hits the ball more or less straight, he or she simply doesn't have enough power for that ball to go too far offline. Sure, I'm not knocking it onto many par-5s in two and making eagle. But on a windy day I'm not often bringing double-bogey into play, either. This is not to say that speed and length aren't serious advantages, because they absolutely are. Especially when you're long AND hit it straight, like Drew!

      Im a big guy and used to swing like that in highschool and with so much spin hitting into decent wind I started taking 2 extra clubs and hitting little punch shots to keep it down just in case. I dont bomb it anymore but I still play in the wind like that out of habit.

    softer is more aero dynamic which = less resistance when flying.

    I’m like 40mph slower than this guy. On the cover the RXS even recommends specifically for speeds below 105mph.
    Full send I’ll maybe just crack 100mph driver speed. Upper 80s low 90s is my typical driver speed.
    I’ve tried a few different balls.
    I really like how the ball flies for me on driver and irons. Even around the green it feels soft enough, I seem to be able to stop it reasonably.
