My irons are elite. My wedges leak power and distance control. The AI found why — and it’s the hands.
Smash factor = how much of your speed actually reaches the ball. Mine drops off a cliff as the clubs get shorter.
“The engine is elite. The scoring clubs are where I’m throwing shots away.”
On a pitch, most guys set the length of the swing with their wrists and hands — then try to add or subtract feel at the last second. Your hands are the fastest, twitchiest part of your body. That’s why the same-looking pitch flies 42 yards, then 58.
Your shoulders are slow, big, and boring. Boring is exactly what you want when the shot is 40 yards.
Three lengths. Same tempo. Tap to pause.
Instead of guessing at feel, you give each yardage a shoulder position — lead arm at 7:30, 9:00, or 10:30 on an imaginary clock. Same tempo every time. The only variable is how far back the shoulders turn.
Now a 40-yard shot isn’t a feeling, it’s a rep you’ve already made a hundred times. And because the body drives it, the strike quality stops jumping around — that’s the smash factor coming back.
Hands hit shots. Shoulders repeat them.
Feet close together, 60% on the lead side and it stays there. Hands quiet.
Turn the shoulders until the lead arm points low. No wrist set on purpose. Write down the carry.
Arm parallel to the ground. Same tempo as 7:30 — only the length changed.
Now you own three yardages you can call before you swing.
Call the landing window out loud, then hit — 14 of 20 land in it
Each clock length carries within 5 yards shot to shot
Zero added wrist flip at the bottom — body finishes the shot
Film a pitch face-on, drop it here, and check it against the same criteria the AI used on me. Video never leaves your phone.
A pitch should be smooth, not quick. Tap START when the club moves back, TOP when it stops. Target: 0.60s+ back.
Scrub to your top and your finish. Honest answers only.
Lead arm stops at a clock position you can name (7:30 / 9:00 / 10:30)
Chest turns back and through — not just arms swinging
No wrist flip at the bottom — shaft stays leaning forward
Weight stayed forward the whole time — no hang back
