Pro’s tip of the week: “ The Importance of understanding strike pattern ”   Ok so who is looking for a few extra yards?? Pretty much of all of right …. So going to talk to you about the importance of maximizing your distance with each club from understanding WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HIT ON THE CLUBFACE – this is certainly a grey area in amateur golf. Here are a few tips I would recommend to understand your strike better:   Simple face tape exercise will show up strike pattern … heel / toe / centre strike / too low on the face etc … PLEASE SEE PIC BELOW Flightscope radar technology – we use this daily at our golf academy to improve golfers understanding on actual impact factors – and centeredness of strike is certainly one of these. Distance loss – did you know on average a heel strike can be losing you up to 20 – 30 yards on your drive?? Gear effect (mainly driver) if you struggle with slice HEEL STRIKE … if you struggle with hook TOE STRIKE .. this is coming from the face bulge on modern day technology. These clubs are designed to help the ball roll towards the middle of the face on off centre strikes, but will certainly affect the curvature on the ball PUTTING STRIKE – this area is so over looked. Do you know from our SAM Putt Lab tests this year only 8% of our students find the centre of the putter face …. This could be adding up to 3 putts big time! SHORT GAME – where should the strike be in and around the greens. On average we would say centre / slightly out of the toe for chip and pitch shots to help you use the grooves correctly. HEEL STRIKE IS DEADLY! POOR CARRY DISTANCE – I see this so often coming from the strike on the clubface being TOO LOW therefore SMASH FACTOR (ability to efficiently compress the golf ball) the lack of confidence on carry distance will ceetainly make our on course Par 3’s a serious challenge .. with water / bunkers etc awaiting a poor strike or club choice DON’T GO CRAZY if you are frustrated with inconsistency in your game. Contact our PGA Professional staff who are skilled to point you in the right direction.
