JMichels2:
Does anyone know where I can find a write up or a video explaining the stats on our equipment? I found a thorough description of Precision. Im pretty sure I have a grasp on meter speed and Spin. I guess Im trying to find out what forgiveness, shape shot, and trajectory, balance on putters and how they are applied in the game. I know what each one means are a defined word, just not how it is applied in the game. If you know where there is a write up or video I would really appreciate it. Thanks alot.
hi
lets tackle these 1 by 1
1. shade shot - does not exist as of now. it's a place holder for the future - when is it coming? i do not know if it will ever come so for now, plz ignore it.
2. forgiveness - the more you have the better you are when you miss ding - as in better chance for your shot to stay on line so to say. it's not an exact measure, just more is better
3. trajectory refers to the arc of of the shot - high med/high and such are stages. highest end clubs (most of them) offer high trajectory, which allows for softer lander/less roll + ability to reach certain pins. One of the best examples is bp #2 front pin or #18 front pin. In the past, when we had med clubs, we'd land in front, and it would run 20-30ft by. Now, we can land in front of the pin and stop it.
4. balance on putters refers to the ability to stand on line over the putts length. it works better on longer putts, say 30-60+ft where you have to travel a long distance. more balance means higher chance that it will stay online. we are likely talking maybe 1-3" (my guess) over 50ft, so it'll be impossible to READ that, but that's what it offers.
these are rough definitions as I understand them, you could try searching as there is more discussion of each over the years.
