Dynamic Loft...what is it?
Dynamic loft is the loft your golf club is carrying when the club actually strikes the ball. For example, you could carry a 10-degree driver but if at impact the dynamic loft is 18 degrees you would potentially be losing a lot of distance and increasing the spin on your shots. It’s most common for golfers to be increasing rather than decreasing the dynamic loft on their shots due to golfers “scooping” or trying to help lift the ball into the air. |
A good drill to try and decrease the dynamic loft on your shots and potentially gain more distance is to feel like the back of your lead hand (left hand for a right-handed golfer) stays pointing at the target for longer through impact. This helps keep the actual loft on the golf club roughly where it should be and will help to stop an increase in the dynamic loft.
If you would like to work on this or any other areas of your game then get in touch. Call us on 01246 411196 or click here to book. |

Mathematics can be a complicated subject with all that pi, algebra and calculus floating around, but there is one simple equation we can all understand: uncomfortable golf shoes = a miserable time for all
|
| Skechers Mojo Elite shoes |
|
Let’s break down this equation further The main problem here is that walking on hard ground for four hours/18 holes in the summer months can take its toll on our feet. Blisters and bleeding are common signs that something isn't quite right and the issue will only be exasperated if your golf shoes are worn, cracking or ill-fitting.
|
So, what’s the answer? After running the numbers through our super-computer, we end up with a pair of golf shoes that are designed for comfort, like Skechers’ Mojo Elite. It boasts Ultra Flight underfoot cushioning, which will have you feeling like you're walking on the clouds for the entirity of your round. Why not pop in the shop and try a pair on this summer? |
