Episode notes
Why Mallets Win Because Of Aim Not Forgiveness
- Mallets dominate not primarily for forgiveness but because players aim and align them more consistently.
- Jake Morrow says mallet silhouettes, neck options, and customization make it easier to get the ball starting online than blades.
Robots Tell Limits Not The Full Story
- Robot testing gives repeatable, valuable R&D data but doesn't replicate human swing variability or feel.
- Johnny Wunder and Jake Morrow stress robots show what a club can't do and must be paired with human testing.
Make Fitting A Two Step Process
- Do phase your fitting: test indoors for data, then validate on-course and return for adjustments.
- Johnny Wunder recommends follow-up rounds because indoor numbers often change once a club is used on real turf.
