TESTED: ANGLE OF ATTACK
Swing studies involving hundreds of professional and amateur swings prove that catching the ball at the start of your upswing increases carry distance and total distance for all clubhead speeds. Only by attacking the ball at a 5-degree up angle will you producethe right combination of vertical launch angle and backspin.
"Get fit for a driver using a launch monitor. The right specs will add serious yards to your drives. I did this myself last year at our TaylorMade Performance lab (www.tmplabs.com) and picked up 10 to 20 yards of carry. I would never have believed it had I not gone through the process and saw the data — and results — that proved technology works."
