Everyone hopes that his ball can be played straight and far, which includes two most basic elements, one is distance, distance, and the other is direction, direction. In other words, if you solve these two problems in golf, then you can do everything you can and no one can beat you. But how can we make it straight and far, let us discuss separately.
1. The first is distance
Under the premise of human control, there are three factors that will affect the distance of the ball, which are Clubhead Speed, Centeredness of contact and Angle of approach.
For club head speed, there are five other aspects that affect it, namely strength, flexibility, coordination, swing skills and body torque. Any sport is inseparable from strength, as is golf, and a strong person will naturally have an advantage in distance. But we often see on the court that some baseball guys don’t have the kick-offs of teenage girls. The reason is not because of lack of strength, but because the body lacks flexibility or coordination, or has not mastered it yet. Swing skills, so in order to maximize the head speed at the moment of hitting the ball, these 5 conditions are required to work together.
The so-called body moment means that there is a longer lever arm in the swing, that is, people with long arms are more able to stimulate power than people with short arms. This is why it is required to keep the arms straight at the moment of hitting the ball. Although this is a congenital factor that cannot be changed, the other four points can be improved through acquired efforts and training.
2. The second factor is the sweet click on the ball
The second factor about the distance is the sweet click on the ball, so it goes without saying. There are special experiments showing that if the sweet spot is hit with a wooden tee, it can hit a distance of 250 yards. If the hit point deviates from the sweet spot by half an inch, then the distance will be reduced by about 12 yards. If the ball point deviates from the sweet spot by about three-quarters of an inch, the shot distance will decrease by about 30 yards.
3. The third factor is the touch angle
The third factor is called the touch angle, which refers to the angle formed by the trajectory of the club head and the ground when the swing hits the ball. This is not difficult to understand. If the club head hits the ball at a relatively steep angle, more spins will be created, and the ball will fly higher, but the distance will be closer. In addition, for different people, each club has its own most suitable touch angle to produce the maximum distance of ballistic trajectory. If your touch angle is different from it, the energy that can act on the ball is The less the ball, the farther the ball is, so the angle of the touch can be used to explain what we often say about thin or thick balls.
We often see that professional players swing very easily. It seems that they can hit the ball far away without exerting much force. In fact, the reason is very simple:
First, they can continue to hit the ball with sweet spots;
Secondly, their touch angle is just right to transfer the energy of the club head to the greatest extent and create a proper spin;
Thirdly, the easy swing made them not have the slack of strength due to tension, so as to completely release the energy of the head.
