An example of inconsistent impact locations. A too-steep down-path, which causes fat shots and large divots. Positive up-path with irons promotes thin shots and little or no divots. Slower, less consistent hand rotation through impact tends to add loft to the club. In this case, a 6-iron’s loft has been effectively increased from 31° to 34°. – 8 – With driver, a slight down-path through impact yields a low launch angle and high rate of backspin.
Skilled Compared to the Improving player, the Skilled player’s swing mechanics are generally better and his ballstriking is more consistent. His swing usually has fl aws, but he compensates for them well, and his mis-hits are less severe. His swing path generally ranges from slightly inside-out to slightly outside-in. 6-IRON DRIVER Clubhead Speed 70-80 80-95 Ball Speed 92-107 115-135 Distance 130-155 190-230 Greens In Regulation/ Round 4 to 9 A skilled player generally has a more consistent and target-oriented swing path.
