Deep dives
Impact of Vertical Forces in Golf Swings
High levels of vertical force, as seen in the swing data of top golfers like Colin Morikawa, significantly impact the consistency and accuracy of iron play. Vertical force contributes to a more shallow angle of attack, creating a larger 'flat spot' through the swing, increasing precision by allowing for more forgiving contact with the ball.
