Great vid... the smash factor being low makes sense when you think about it. The only way to get mega spin is for more friction on the ball, more friction = less direct energy transferred into the movement of the ball. You just need to make sure the smash factor is low with a center hit and not because of a mis-hit.
Great video, I'll try it out this weekend. Anyway you can make a video on decreasing spin in irons and getting a better spin loft for distance. I hit it pretty far with my irons, but recently have been ballooning my shots with my irons (callaway x forged irons). I saw a sample video on spin loft with a shot by Justin Rose and someone else where Justin's went about 20 yards shorted because of the spin he put on it because he hit too far down on it and ballooned it. I guess what I'm saying is: can you make a video showing how to deloft the club, but still have a shallow angle of attack in order to get low launch and spin for max distance similar to your driver video, but in irons. Thanks for the vid and keep it up
Great video! Appreciate your information. I am new owner of trackman 4. I have learned about spin loft, dyn loft and launch with wedges on top of your info about landing ang and smash. What are you seeing as good angle of attack and spin numbers on 55-60 yard shot? Thank you cody
Hi Chris, love this video. I found it immediately useful, for wedges and beyond. This technique dovetails nicely with the rotational swing mechanics for which I'm a devotee (as is Sean Foley, Chris Como, Charles Howell, Justin Rose, Hunter Mahan, etc). I'm using your 'Y' setup for iron shots as well with good success (nice shallow divots, clean strikes, ball flight either straight or slight push, not a lot of curvature), but having trouble employing it in my driver swing (3W works great with it). Do you have any tips for that? Should I have less weight of front foot, less forward shaft lean at address? Or use another swing for driver and keep this one for the rest? Thanks for putting up these great videos.
Thanks Oliver, glad this video has helped you, you can still have the similiar wrist angles with your driver but you need to shallow out the AoA, please watch this video it should help you ruclips.net/video/MhjQJTS_Uiw/видео.html
Underrated video!! Great info. 👍

Thanks , always thought it was just quick hands at the bottom
Genius!!
ok but your hitting of a mat does the make a difference?
Chris, i take it you need firm greens (and sun on your back) for spin back?
Does trackman have a particular range of numbers to achieve spin back?
