What is Low Point Distance in Trackman? Our golf swing is in a curve. The low point will explain where the curved and lowest point of the golf club in our swing is, compared to the impact point. It is another way to explain the Attack angle.
How is Low Point Distance in Trackman displayed? The low point distance in Trackman will show the distance between the impact point and the lowest point of the club in inches. It will also tell you whether the lowest point of the club is before or after the impact.
How important is Low Point? If we have the wrong Low Point for each club, we will have bad ball contact. For example, if we use an iron, the appropriate Low Point should be after impact. In other words, the lowest point of the club should be in front of the golf ball. On the contrary, the Low Point distance of the Driver should be before impact.
Low point สำคัญอย่างไร? ถ้าเรามี low point ที่ไม่ถูกต้องตามแต่ละอุปกรณ์ที่ใช้สวิงนั้น จะทำให้เรามี contact บอลที่ไม่ดี ยกตัวอย่างเช่น ถ้าเราใช้เหล็ก Low point ที่เหมาะสมควรจะอยู่ after impact หรือบอกได้ว่า จุดต่ำสุดของไม้นั้น ควรจะอยู่หน้าลูกกอล์ฟ ในทางตรงข้าม Driver ควรจะมี Low point distance เป็น Before impact
What is Club Speed? How to make your swing faster? I believe that the first term that most golfers know and has a direct impact on the distance of each club is the Club Speed .
First, let’s understand the basic of Club Speed or the speed of the golf club head. TRACKMAN will capture the speed of the club head before hitting the ball (Impact) in miles per hour (MPH). Club Speed has a direct impact on the distance of the golf ball, and those who have fast Club Speed have a chance to hit the ball far. An increase in Club Speed for every 1 MPH will create a possibility to hit the ball with a Driver up to 3 yards further.
Average Club Speed of professional golfers
PGA Tour (Men)
Driver: 115 MPH → Carry average 282 yards
6 iron: 94 MPH → Carry average 188 yards
LPGA Tour (Women)
Driver: 96 MPH → Carry average 223 yards
6 iron: 80 MPH → Carry average 155 yards
The club that should be practiced to increase Club Speed is the Driver because it is the club that all golfers want to hit the furthest. For those who want to increase Club Speed, let’s first examine ourselves to see how much the maximum speed of the club head (Driver) is. How much do we want to increase? Let’s say we swing the club head at a maximum speed of 90 MPH. We want to set a goal to increase the speed from the original to 95 MPH, which is 5 MPH more than the original. The chance to do it right away is difficult. But when we can increase the maximum club speed from 90 MPH to 95 MPH, it will be easy to return to hitting the club speed at 90 MPH immediately. Similarly, a person whose club speed used to be at a maximum of 110 MPH, if they can increase the club speed to 115, swinging at a speed of 110 MPH will not be difficult anymore.
*The key to training to increase club speed is Practice swinging at the maximum speed without hitting the ball (swinging quickly into the wind) alternating with hitting the real ball to let the body get used to the movement of swinging the club fast. No need to care about which way the ball goes or whether it hits well. The goal is to increase the club speed only because we want to unleash our own potential, understand the force, and discover techniques to swing the club faster.
From my experience with students or golfers who have high club speed and can hit the ball far, they will have the following characteristics:
Strong and flexible muscles. Each joint has good mobility (Joint Mobility)
The order of force exerted during the Downswing is well-ordered, starting from the hips, chest, arms, and finally the hands.
Use appropriate equipment, such as a golf club shaft that is not too hard or heavy.
Hitting the ball not that hard but has a high distance and Club Speed 👍
People with low Club Speed will have the following characteristics:
Exerting force incorrectly, such as Early Release, loosening the wrist, and exerting force too quickly.
Feeling like exerting a lot of force but not hitting far, Club Speed does not increase.
Summary
Club Speed is the speed of the club head hitting the ball, which directly affects the distance.
Increase speed with swing technique + training + physical condition.
Set a goal to increase by 5 MPH at a time to make the original speed feel easier.
Practice swinging fast, increase the Club Speed without worrying about the direction in the beginning.
Try using this training concept and you will definitely hit farther! 🚀
Club Speed คืออะไร แนวคิดแบบไหนที่จะทำให้เหวี่ยงไม้ได้เร็วขึ้น ผมเชื่อว่าค่า Data แรกๆที่นักกอล์ฟส่วนใหญ่รู้จัก และส่งผลโดยตรงกับระยะการตีในแต่ละไม้คือค่า Club Speed
ก่อนอื่นมาทำความเข้าใจพื้นฐาน Club Speed หรือความเร็วของหัวไม้กอล์ฟ ซึ่งในเครื่อง Trackman จะจับความเร็วตอนที่หัวไม้ก่อนปะทะลูก(Impact) โดยมีหน่วยที่วัดค่าเป็นไมล์ต่อชั่วโมง(MPH) ซึ่ง Club Speed มีผลโดยตรงกับระยะทางของลูกกอล์ฟ หรือใครที่มี Club Speed ที่เร็ว ก็มีโอกาสตีได้ระยะที่ไกล และการเพิ่ม Club Speed ในทุก 1 MPH จะสร้างโอกาสในการตีเพิ่มระยะได้ถึง 3 หลา ในการตี Driver
