@engineeringolf Is that not effectively what they do, just with different numbers on the bottom?
I guess your example would be a 9 iron in the current game improvement sets.

The alternative, of course, is the game improvement iron that nobody makes:

1st rule of debate: know your opponent's argument better than your own. Modern lofts are painted negatively, so I should prepare you w/ the argument in support of them. Here's the discussion happening in those rooms when product teams decide to lower lofts: When a flexy iron face increases ballspeed, you can lower loft but maintain height. 7i is defined by a peak height, not a loft or carry. They'll say that the golfer sees their expected 7i "window," but benefits from more distance. 🪄 I think you know why. Big numbers on launch monitors sell golf clubs. *This is not an endorsement of this design strategy.

@RickRunGood How does that affect strokes-gained Rick? Would be added onto the drive or the approach, or does it not get added anywhere 🤔
English
Cameron Young just assessed himself a stroke penalty in the middle of the second fairway. Caused his ball to move.
English
@JonathanYarwood Is there any evidence that this high rotation of the shoulder / scapula is less consistent?
Rory leads SG off the tee on tour with this move.
English
Long way to go and I’m pulling for Rory! But when he gets erratic, here’s what happens. Hopefully he can get it back together! Genius player!
English
@MMGOLFSTUDIOS I think scratch may not improve because their face control is already good.
A 5-20hcp with speed though..? 🤔
Would face control be easier for them with a smooth no-wrist style swing?
Maybe throw in a very spinny ball too.
English
I know we’ve always talked about scratch vs LPGA but I wonder…
most competitive scratch ams have a lot more speed than the lpga players we speak of, if they back everything down to lpga speeds can they improve?
10mph club head speed off a driver?
PW 107 instead of 147?

There isn’t an exact formula, but with millions of swings we have pretty good predictions.
A 10 handicap should expect to see a bigger drop in points comparing a level 40 score to a level 90 score, relative to a scratch golfer.
We have an associated handicap coming out in the next update.
English
I had a legit shot at reaching Level 100 yesterday but couldn’t quite pull it off.
Still, hitting Level 97 while playing at Level 80 is a big personal best. Distance control is starting to feel dialled heading into the season.
Premier Mode in Stack Wedge automatically curates your next combine to match your current ability—maximizing both practice enjoyment and improvement.

@4golfonline Clearly sorted his steep / under / across the line issues overnight 🤭
English
Old drivers and online “swing gurus” what a time to be alive.
English
@DropMyScore Put your hand in front of your face, cross your eyes, tilt your head left and right. You should see these 3 patterns.
If it’s not “no tilt” it will have influence on how you see lines as well as stroke direction
English
@ButlerCabin1894 That is a genuine issue, to be fair.
Although obviously doesn’t mean buy blades!
English
The only two things that matter. Is it true? (the D Plane, sum of the moments alpha always go negative before impact, there is no heavy hit) or false? (ball starts on path, Fred Couples is reverse throwing, up the left arm matters). 🧵
English
Controversial opinion - he would have more majors than Jack if he stuck with this swing
Jamie Kennedy@jamierkennedy
Every swing from a rare clip of Tiger Woods on the range at Pebble Beach in 1997. Three months later... he won the Masters by 12 shots.
English
@hutch_golf Any idea how many strokes (say vs scratch) this one variable costs each hcp group?
English
Why do higher handicappers leave it short?
I analyzed 5 million approach shots.
% that finish >20 yards short of the hole:
At 130-175 yards:
• 0-5 HCP: 11%
• 5-10 HCP: 19%
• 10-15 HCP: 27%
• 15-20 HCP: 37%
It's not just "take more club." It's deeper than that.
English
@MMGOLFSTUDIOS How do you calculate 3-7 strokes better?
English
Oh, and hitting your irons farther does nothing for SG.
If a new 8i goes as far as an old 7i but the dispersion is the same, you have a 0 SG improvement for $1500.
You need to improve your dispersion from a given distance. If it equates to +1 GIR/rd you’re 3-7 strokes better.
MM🇺🇸@MMGOLFSTUDIOS
Let’s say you gain 10y off the tee on average with a new driver AND you hit 1 more fairway (this would be a really good upgrade). If you hit driver 14x/rd you gain about 1 stroke. Are you willing to pay $500 to go from an 8 handicap to a 7?
English
@JonathanYarwood @BrettRumford @JamesRidyard Would you not say Scheffler is in the ball back steep camp? Surely he ‘makes it work’, no?
English
The problem with rolling the rock every night is the invasive thoughts start creeping in... Down the line looks alright, but from the top looks like I'm hitting the heel...
If it's going to the target at the right pace does it even matter...?

@Pixel_ProStudio @DivotDoctrine Thought experiment - what if I only ever play my home course which happens to have tiny greens, knee high rough, and very tight out of bounds?
English
@DropMyScore @DivotDoctrine It actually does, because the data set is now into the billions of shots. It is virtually assured your shot was faced by someone else too.
English
I still don't buy into the strokes gained data that says more distance makes it easier to score. If you aren't accurate, golf will not get easier for you.
English
@colinstl @JonathanYarwood @BrettRumford Do you think being steep with club whilst moving body up is more or less consistent than being shallow with club and staying pretty level with body?
English
@JonathanYarwood @BrettRumford Brett looks to be better controlling the low point and club interaction with the ground. On the flubs, Collin is missing the UP component that allows the sole to graze the turf
English
Quiz time- other than the obvious, what do you see is different between @brettrumford hitting a chip of a uphill slope, tight grainy lie compared to the other players and why is he more successful at it? 🤷♂️⛳️ What do the poor chips have in common? ( Yes their lie is slightly tougher but relatively similar) …….Go 👊🏻
