TrackMan | 6 | by TrackMan

    I read that for each MPH of a headwind the negative effect will be 1.5 yards. A 10 mph headwind would have a – 15 yard effect on the shot. Tailwinds have a half yard effect on the distance. A 10 mph tailwind would result in a +5 yard effect on the shot. Is there Trackman data on the impact of headwind and tailwinds on a shot?

      Completely depends on your trajectory and the spin you create

    I am wondering how it is behaving with modern forward cg drivers. Do they go farther when you launch them higher with less spin or when you punch them with less aoa lower launch ?
