How to Use Dynamic Loft Data in Golf

What is Dynamic Loft

Dynamic loft refers to the actual loft of the clubface at impact, rather than the static loft printed on the club (e.g., 7 iron = 34 degrees). This slight difference arises due to the dynamics of the swing, where factors like shaft lean and angle of attack can influence the final clubface angle at the moment of impact.

How Dynamic Loft is Measured

FlightScope utilizes patented Fusion Tracking Technology – a unique combination of radar and camera – to measure both the static loft of the club and the clubface angle at impact. By analyzing these values, the dynamic loft is calculated.

Why Dynamic Loft is Important

Dynamic loft plays a crucial role in determining ball flight trajectory and spin rate. A higher dynamic loft generally launches the ball higher with more backspin, while a lower dynamic loft typically produces a lower launch with less spin.

How to Use Dynamic Loft for Game Improvement

• Optimize Ball Flight: Analyze dynamic loft to understand why you might be hitting shots too high or low.

• Spin Control: By understanding how swing mechanics affect dynamic loft, you can make adjustments to achieve the desired spin rates for different situations on the course.

• Club Selection: Consider dynamic loft when choosing clubs, especially for finesse shots where precise trajectory and spin control are crucial.

Key Takeaway

Dynamic loft is a valuable data point for golfers seeking to understand and manipulate ball flight and spin. By analyzing and adjusting your swing mechanics, you can optimize dynamic loft to achieve desired shot outcomes on the course.
