January 24, 2014 Trackman and 3D expert, Top 100 Teacher, James Leitz did a presentation @CoreGolfAcademy for the coaches titled, "My road to 4/10,000th of a second" Impact, only time ball is told what to do. Here are some highlights.
What the club does trumps what the body does. Great players:
1. Have enough speed to compete at the level they are playing.
2. Impact alignments produce the type of shot that is desired.
3. Impact alignments are repeatable.
4. Golf Swing doesn't cause injury.
Four things affect ball flight.
1. Club head speed
2. Path and angle of attack. Path = direction of the force. Vector of force is both path and attach angle.
3. Sweet spot or where the club face is pointing at the moment of impact.
4. Impact point or where you hit the ball in the club face.
Attack angle is a true indicator of shaft lean. Plane is golfers feeling of path. The starting direction of the ball is 70% club face angle with irons and 85% with the driver.
5 degrees off with club face at impact is 40' at 100 yards.
1 degree off is 8' at 100 yards.
1 degree off is 13' at 250 yards.
That's why you don't want your club face more than 2 degrees off at impact.
Golfer has to "feel" the correct geometry at impact. A bad mental state can only screw up geometry (Pressure). Perfect mental state can allow geometry to work. (Zone)
