How to Select the Right Club in the Wind

[@johnschwartz1536]

All great suggestions Andrew! I have been using this scale for years both with the wind against me and with me. It definitely helps with your calibrations and club selections. Good job Andrew! Always looks forward to hearing from you!

Thank you John!

Scratch player here, and I didn’t actually know this. It definitely adds up correctly though. Great info. Thanks.

Cheers Jamie!

Cheers Chris!

Good to Know. Thank You

[@andrewricegolf]

Thanks Brian!

The affect is really linear or not exponential?

[@andrewricegolf]

If your driver club speed is between 78 and 95mph, then yes. For full swings only.

Andrew, thank you for this information. Please clarify though the statement that a 20 mph tailwind shortens carry by 10 yards? Seems illogical to me.

[@andrewricegolf]

Shortens the distance the shot will play Chuck.

[@FormulaOneFanFx]

What if I have 150 yards approach into 10mph head wind compared with 75 yards approach into 10mph head wind? The distance would have an impact won’t it? It won’t be the same 10 yards longer for both of them?

[@andrewricegolf]

Correct! Full swings only.

Happy Monday Andrew !! Please confirm about tailwind stats. 20 mph tailwind means it will go 10 yards LESS on carry vs no tailwind? I would think this number would change if got the ball up in the air so that it would then go farther than normal carry? Thanks

[@andrewricegolf]

Trajectory will influence the formula for sure Alex. Yes, 2p mph tailwind will cause the ball to carry 10 yards more.

[@alexstarlow582]

@@andrewricegolf Thanks for you very much for your reply and clarification. The reason I asked is because, in your video at 1:10 minute mark, you state the opposite. You state that with a 20mph tailwind your carry will go 10 yards shorter NOT longer. Hence my confusion. Thanks again. Always enjoy your videos.

[@andrewricegolf]

@@alexstarlow582 Please watch again Alex. I say the shot PLAYS 10 yards shorter. I know it can be confusing and it's rare that I get it right, but in this case I did. Cheers!

[@IAM-xf9ir]

you said with tailwind your ball will go shorter?

[@andrewricegolf]

Listen again. I say a tailwind makes the shot play shorter...

[@IAM-xf9ir]

@@andrewricegolf as in the next shot right? Just making sure. Thanks for all the good info

[@andrewricegolf]

@@IAM-xf9ir The shot you're about to play will play shorter. Hope that helps.
