I hit my clubs further because of my swing speed and loft management.
Loft management is key to control spin rates and apex for accurate shots.
My wedges are delofted to adjust for spin rates and gaping correctly.
I hit my wedges with a higher apex, resulting in a steeper descent angle.
Proper loft and spin management lead to better control and accuracy in iron shots.
Why do you have a larger gap between your 60° and 56° wedges?
—I have a larger gap to manage spin rates and ensure accurate shot selection in different conditions.
Do you hit the ball further on the simulator?
—The simulator may add a little distance, but it's mainly my swing speed and loft management that contribute to hitting the ball further.
Why do you have lower lofted irons compared to regular golfers?
—Lower lofted irons allow me to control spin rates and maintain a consistent gapping in my set.
How do you determine the loft and spin rates for your irons?
—I work closely with my coach and use technology like Trackman to optimize my loft and spin rates for each iron in my set.
Do you have any tips for amateur golfers to optimize their loft and spin rates?
—I recommend getting a professional fitting and working with a coach to find the optimal loft and spin rates for your swing. It can greatly improve your consistency and distance control.
