Lots of good points here but “what happens to face to path at 6 degrees up” is really food for thought. 👍🏻

Couldn’t agree more and I think that is why you saw so many Tour Pro’s go away from that model. The new Trackman Golf averages still have the average Tour Player at -1* AoA. All the best.

Love your work Mike! As a fellow instructor, what motion and force plates would you suggest I look at getting. I see Swing Catalyst and Smart2move are popular options. Which one would you recommend? Thanks for your time

[@measuredgolf]

I have three different sets of plates and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. I think most people would be best starting with a pressure mat and learn on that before getting into the forces and torques and dual plates. All the best.

Thanks mate 👍

@@measuredgolf would you recommend Boditrak to start with?

@@andrevanstaden221 it’s another tool that provides information that you cannot see with the naked eye, so I think it is great. Become a great cook and the kitchen doesn’t matter. All the best.

That last comment about “getting more loft on the face” made something click. I’m a low ball hitter with decent speed for an amateur, also a huge “jumper” with both feet but especially the left with driver. Never thought those two things would be correlated. Hmmm 💡

Always happy to contribute to a lightbulb moment. All the best.
