Quite enjoying @GateMateGolf new tool for improving green reading AND your start line / aim @KornFerryTour Arlington, Tx. Really cool training aid!

[Jon Hardesty @jonhardestygolf]

@mfinneygolf Really appreciate the kind words. It’s been a fun ride so far!

Easy to underestimate how important this is. How a ball spins is only 1/2 the picture.

Without tracking, I could not have told you I had a Left direction bias.

I went from a Stack putting session to some block practice and quickly cleaned this up.

@jertybird Same here.

Ballnamic considers your launch conditions, performance preferences, and where you play for a holistic fit. 🏌️‍♂️

[Marty Jertson @jertybird]

It was not long ago that golfers, golf media, & club fitters thought you had to choose between low (optimal) spin and stability (pareto optimality)

This trade-off has been broken.

The definition of innovation.

The proof is.....right here.

We have an opening for a research and test engineer (preferably with a passion for the human equipment interaction, high performance, psychology side of things). This role is in Loughborough, UK reporting to the talented @SportJono

Great insights here during the middle of his golf heater.

What a show!

Big congratulations to Viktor Hovland, the 2023 #FedExCup Champion.

[Marty Jertson @jertybird]

This was fun.

Viktor, from the Tour truck, the day after his Viktory.

Hope you enjoy this PING Proving Grounds podcast as much as I did.

Friction is a strange and wonderful topic and it very much matters in golf. For moisture you can also read “grass” and you have more partial wedge shots in longer grass than not. Make sure your wedge has great spin in non-ideal conditions!

When it comes to your lowest lofted fwy wood, most fitters don't know what's optimal....or possible.

G430 Max fwy wood MOST played on Tour for the 4th week in a row.

G430 LST MOST played driver this week on Tour.

Have a great weekend.

Wind has a significant effect on offline dispersion.

In this example, for a PGA Tour 7-iron, offline dispersion changes by ~10% for each 10 mph change in wind speed

[Ballnamic @BallFitting]

Tired of fliers? We test for spin in both wet and dry conditions.

On wedge shots, we've measured spin rate drops of over 40% on some balls, dropping from more than 10,000 RPM to 6,000 rpm, when friction is reduced through added moisture.
