The white line in the pictures is the target line (where Allan is aiming).
As you can see, the two swings above have resulted in different shot shapes and distance. These numbers come from my Trackman program which helps identify why you hit different shots shapes and how we can fix them.
The main difference in the two shots is the club face angle at impact, the club head speed, and the spin rate. Allan would get more distance if his attack angle improved closer to a bracket of -2 to +2. Being too steep will cause a loss in distance. The spin rate was less in the first shot, and his club speed was slower causing a flatter ball flight. If the second shot had less spin, but maintained the same characteristics from the second shot, Allan would have hit it further!
Launching the ball high, with good speed, and a good spin rate will maximize your distance. Each player is different, therefore the combinations can change pending on club speed.
Going on Trackman will help show you where you are with your swing path, face angle and other factors to help you create consistency and distance with your clubs.
This program is great for all level of golfers!
