Tour Player’s Impact
When it comes to how far tour players hit the ball, the impact position is more important than clubhead speed. As a tour player reaches impact, they deloft the golf club by using their hands in a forward shaft lean. In fact, the average tour player delofts the club 4 degrees at impact.
Single-Digit Handicapper
At impact, the recreational golfer releases the club too early. Single-digit handicappers do not deloft the club like tour players do. Instead, they simply square the clubface with a slight forward shaft lean.
Double-Digit Handicapper:
Higher handicappers do not deloft the club at impact and are unable to square the clubface. These players typically add loft to the club because they release too soon.
