Ive been struggling a lot as I've actually been hitting my 4 iron the same distance as my driver

@blackedmirror5073 4 жыл бұрын

Same but I don’t have a 3 wood 3 or 4 iron yet so it’s my 5 iron going an easy high flight 200 and my driver going 210.

Another very good video Micheal, although I feel it's only covered one aspect of why some people find there 3 wood goes further. Surely swing speed would another. I remember reading of you swing less than 90 mph then the 3 wood loft wood assist you in gaining the better trajectory and carry. Although that was done with old tech, my question is... Is it still the same with modern drivers with there low spin, rear weighted heads?

This is glorious, I have been researching "how far should you hit a 7 iron?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Reyuhaffad Underlying Recognition - (just google it ) ? It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy got great results with it. +kzfaq.info/love/wKjnHdSC4SiZOPpCji-cBw

Try a higher degree and a stiffer shaft if it's too flexible

@evilmastersgameroom8106 6 жыл бұрын

With my strong grip and closed setup it makes playing driver very difficult for me to control. Have been considering a 13.5* fairway at 45" to replace the driver lol. I hit my irons and metals brilliant... I think I will have to learn an entirely different technique to control the driver... Will keep at it and focus on effective loft.

So I'm wanting to change my shaft on my driver (Ladies Flex) versus my 3 wood is a men's shaft - which carries further. I've tried the loft higher on my driver then my drives are super high (lose distance) too.

@digsy2k11 6 жыл бұрын

Think for me, a fitting is the main difference. I hit my Nike Machspeed 4 wood as far as my Nike Machspeed driver. Driver was stolen from my dad, who has a slower swing speed, so Shaft was regular, which causes my spin to be between 3500rpm-4000rpm. 4 wood is stiff flex with same sort of numbers with spin, but nowhere near as bad dispersion. Fitting. The difference will shock you. And to be fair, Michael always highlights this.

If the static loft of the 3 wood is 15 degrees, and you hit down on the golf ball at -3.2 degrees, shouldn't the dynamic loft delivered to the golf ball be 15 - 3.2 = 11.8 degrees?

@michael61341 6 жыл бұрын

So if I hit down with the driver would increasing the loft help with distance?

@rossmurray245 6 жыл бұрын

I went for a driver fitting and ended up changing my AOA during the session and walked out 30 yards longer with the same driver I went in with taken down 1deg. I went from -2 to +4 and it also takes a lot of spin off.

Will a driver with too long of shaft for my swing speed slow your distance down? I have a 46 inch 9.5 and my 3 Wood goes just as far

@stephendibari7704 6 жыл бұрын

Great review Michael! I play with the same Subzero driver at 9 deg. (Diff shaft , I use the Aldila Rouge Max 65 gram stiff). My clubhead speed is 104-108 mph. Should’ve got more of a custom fit with Aldila’s other Rouge shafts, but The local PGA superstore here in New Jersey didn’t have the other shafts to compare. I did compare the Rouge Max (mid spin/mid launch) to the Fujikura Pro 65 and Rogue Max had a much better feel. I notice not many players use the Subzero fairway metals. I have the 3 and 5 and love them , especially the 5 metal. Why did you choose the standard Epic 3 metal fairway ?

@wayneharris4641 6 жыл бұрын

Isn’t the cure for this is to hit up with the driver. The reason someone hits the 3 wood further than the driver is they don’t hit the driver correctly. So cure is to improve driver technique, not use the 3 wood.

How do you have 160mph ball speed and a total distance of 276 yards? Seems like it should be much closer to 300.

@BetterLife2023 4 жыл бұрын

The video explains it. the Angle of Attack is negative instead of positive making the launch conditions less than ideal.

@creamabdul-jabbar6722 2 жыл бұрын

Look more into Joaquin Niemann and less Bryson. The dude is small and was driving over or around the 300 all day, he has a much more penetrating ball flight that’s what most of us need and get out of the tee it high let it fly mentality. Unless you’re putting in the work also with weight training like Bryson. Maybe like a Jon rahm. He almost looks like he’s hitting punches off the tee and a more penetrating ball flight also. No need to hit the driver 250 if you get no roll out. I’m the same way so I know that’s what people think

@creamabdul-jabbar6722 2 жыл бұрын

Many are doing this because they’re teeing the ball up high with driver and hitting it way too high. Think about the flight with your woods I bet they’re dramatically lower then the driver. Tee the ball lower and stop tilting so much up. There’s only one Bryson, Rory, dj, and brooks. A lot of you are thinking of their numbers. But if you watched the masters and tigers group they were hitting driver about 275 which is way more attainable. I’m not knocking anyone but you can’t be those guys and only play golf. I mean think about it, I bet Bryson benches 405 and squats probably 500 lbs. most of you are looking at the wrong golfers

@littleman61251 6 жыл бұрын

So the biggest thing that kills me here is what I guess is D plane. Looking at the delivery numbers, especially with the 3 wood... if you are hitting down 3.2 on a 15 degree club, how does that equate to a 21.6 degree delivered loft? How does that give you a 10 degree ball launch? Golf math is hard.

@MichaelNewtonGolf 6 жыл бұрын

I struck it slightly low in the face which makes the ball launch slightly lower

@littleman61251 6 жыл бұрын

Ok, what would be a 'normal' set of numbers there... understanding these angles is crazy difficult for me. (edit) also, thanks for replying! pretty cool!

@recap60min28 6 жыл бұрын

Spin affects launch angle. High spin lifts the ball at the expense of energy pushing it forward. More energy is put on a angle (down) at delivery causing the spin and angle change. You can lower the spin by hitting up on the ball with a driver that has a lower face angle. (the lower degree driver is key) If you can't stop hitting down then you have to use a higher angle club that increases spin to compensate for the poorer swing, because if you don't get enough height you lose distance too. The driver is designed to compensate for a poor swing to optimize performance. Spins the ball more near the bottom thanks to grooves and low spin towards the center/top because it's automatically going to get more loft when you hit center/above center.
