Happy with your swing but not your distance? Struggling with ballooning drives or a stubborn slice? Excess spin might very well be the culprit. While there is no ideal spin rate that applies to all golfers, we find that many golfers are launching the ball too low with too much spin. This is the ultimate distance-killing combo.
Fast swings generating high ball speed benefit from a spin rate of about 2,500-2,700 revolutions per minute (rpm) with driver, to prevent the ball from ballooning and losing carry.
Slower swings need a driver spin rate of about 2,900-3,000 rpm to get their drives airborne and increase hangtime for more carry.
No matter what your skill level is, to achieve your full distance potential, your spin rate and launch angle must align with your swing speed. Let’s make sure yours does. Book a fitting now!
