Spin stability and modern drivers

In this episode, we bring back Gene Parente from Golf Laboratories to break down some of the most eye-opening robot tests we’ve ever discussed on the show. From wet-vs-dry performance to why a 95 mph swing can keep up with 105 when you optimize impact, Gene explains the data in a way every golfer can actually use on the course. We also dive into mini-drivers, three-woods, gear effect, and the hidden physics that make certain clubs way harder to hit than you think. If you love understanding the why behind better golf, this is one of those conversations that will absolutely change how you play.

As we enter the fall season, many golfers will be looking to upgrade their indoor practice. I've been trusting The Indoor Golf Shop for years and recommending them to anyone who wants to improve their home setup.

They offer all the top launch monitor brands, including SkyTrak, Uneekor, and Foresight, and regularly run sales. They also have everything you need for your indoor practice - hitting mats, golf nets, impact screens, and custom enclosures.

If you're looking for a custom residential build to have the simulator of your dreams, their team can make that happen. They built mine! And their designers can also handle any kind of commercial facility where you're building from scratch or want to make an upgrade.
