Club head speed impacts your distance, consistency, and even your trajectory. Here’s how:
Distance
The faster your club head speed, the more energy is transferred to the ball, leading to greater ball speed and ultimately longer shots. Whether you’re hitting a driver or an iron, increasing your club head speed can help you gain distance off the tee and with your approach shots.
Accuracy
While higher club head speed can result in greater distance, it can also affect your accuracy. Players with a smoother, more controlled swing can increase their club head speed without sacrificing control. Foresight data can help you track and manage your club head speed to strike a balance between distance and accuracy.
Optimizing Swing Mechanics
Monitoring club head speed through Foresight Sports technology allows you to identify how changes in your swing mechanics affect your speed. For example, improving your hip rotation or adjusting your grip can lead to more efficient speed generation. Tracking this metric can help you pinpoint where adjustments should be made to improve your swing.
