All things Are Not Always Equal

Of course, all things are not always equal, and if technique is sacrificed for speed, this equation may not necessarily work. If the loft is too high, too much energy will be expending in attaining height rather than distance. The theoretical optimum height with no wind interference is 45 degrees and anything greater or less than this will reduce the distance the ball travels. Wind interference, however, changes this. Hence, in high winds a low trajectory ball of 20 degrees may travel much farther than one struck at maximum speed and theoretical optimum loft. Golf swing speed is still important however, since the faster swing will still send the ball farther if loft is equal.

Other factors affecting distance are the ball design (number and type of dimples, ball weight, etc), the hardness of the ball which determines how much of the swing energy is absorbed through compression of the ball, the position and angle of the club face, exactly where on the ball contact is made (relative to the so-called sweet spot) and many others.

Golf Swing Speed Alone Is Not The Answer To Length

It is not, therefore, sufficient to improve your golf swing speed alone. You must also work on your golf swing mechanics, your stance and address, backswing, downswing and follow through. When training to improve any aspect of your golf game, not only your golf swing speed, it must be understood that best results will be obtained by working on your game as a whole, and not just one specific aspect of it.

Golf Ball Design Plays It’s Part Testing For Diabetic Neuropathy (Nerve Damage)
The serious and dangerous nature of diabetes can often lead to other equally serious problems, such as a diabetes related nerve disease called diabetic neuropathy. This disease develops as a result of having high blood glucose levels for 10 years or more.The effect of this nerve damage is a slow down of a person's nerve conduction velocity (NCV).
