Golf Clubhead Speed Launch-Monitor Testing: Fixing Placement and Marking Errors for Reliable Data

Clubhead speed swings 4-5 mph between sessions and it's rarely the swing. A launch-monitor placement and club-marking protocol that keeps the number honest.

Why Golf Clubhead Speed Numbers Differ on Mats vs. Grass: Reading Lie, Bounce, and Light Correctly

A 4 mph gap between the mat and the range usually isn't your swing decaying. It's bounce-turf interaction, contact point, and indoor light moving the number.
