Golf ball carry distance is affected by ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, temperature, altitude, and wind. Understanding these helps select the right club.

Stapsgewijze handleiding

  1. 1Altitude: approx 2% further per 1,000m (thinner air reduces aerodynamic drag)
  2. 2Temperature: approx 1 yard further per 10 degrees F warmer due to lower air density
  3. 3Optimal driver spin: approx 2,200-2,800 RPM; too high or too low reduces carry

Invoer
250-yard drive at sea level, 2,000m altitude, 25 degrees C
Resultaat
Adjusted carry approx 265-270 yards - significant combined altitude and temperature bonus
