Clubhead Speed
Clubhead Speed
Clubhead speed is an important factor in the golf swing because it determines how far the ball will travel. The faster the clubhead speed, the further the ball will go. Clubhead speed is also important because it can affect the accuracy of your shots. A slower clubhead speed may result in a shot that is less accurate, while a faster clubhead speed can help you to hit the ball more accurately. Finally, clubhead speed can also affect the trajectory of your shots. A slower clubhead speed may result in a shot that has a lower trajectory, while a faster clubhead speed can help you to hit the ball with a higher trajectory.
