Quite enjoying @GateMateGolf new tool for improving green reading AND your start line / aim @KornFerryTour Arlington, Tx. Really cool training aid!

Easy to underestimate how important this is. How a ball spins is only 1/2 the picture.
Not only have we tested how golf balls respond just after impact, but our innovative testing method has decoded – more importantly - how they fly aerodynamically down range.
Graph: Identical launch conditions but significant difference in peak height.

Without tracking, I could not have told you I had a Left direction bias.
I went from a Stack putting session to some block practice and quickly cleaned this up.

Ballnamic considers your launch conditions, performance preferences, and where you play for a holistic fit. 🏌️♂️

It was not long ago that golfers, golf media, & club fitters thought you had to choose between low (optimal) spin and stability (pareto optimality)
This trade-off has been broken.
The definition of innovation.
The proof is.....right here.
No. 1 in Napa. 💯 The G430 LST is the most played driver model this week at the @FortinetChamp. AND, with 44 in play, the G430 MAX is the most played fairway wood model. #PlayYourBest

We have an opening for a research and test engineer (preferably with a passion for the human equipment interaction, high performance, psychology side of things). This role is in Loughborough, UK reporting to the talented @SportJono

Great insights here during the middle of his golf heater.
If you missed it, now is a good time to give the Viktor Hovland interview a listen from our @PingTour Proving Grounds podcast last week.
What a couple of weeks for Vik. Incredible.

What a show!
Big congratulations to Viktor Hovland, the 2023 #FedExCup Champion.

This was fun.
Viktor, from the Tour truck, the day after his Viktory.
Hope you enjoy this PING Proving Grounds podcast as much as I did.

Friction is a strange and wonderful topic and it very much matters in golf. For moisture you can also read “grass” and you have more partial wedge shots in longer grass than not. Make sure your wedge has great spin in non-ideal conditions!
6 different wedges. 50 yard shot. Single digit handicap.
Condition - dry club face for each shot, moisture on the golf ball and ground surface. 12 shots each golf wedge.
Your equipment matters. Spot the differential.

When it comes to your lowest lofted fwy wood, most fitters don't know what's optimal....or possible.
Fitters: PING Co-Pilot is here to help. We've added Fairway Wood Launch Efficiency (Beta) to help optimize your golfers fairway wood - specific to their goals, weather, altitude, model, and impact location

G430 Max fwy wood MOST played on Tour for the 4th week in a row.
G430 LST MOST played driver this week on Tour.
Have a great weekend.

Wind has a significant effect on offline dispersion.
In this example, for a PGA Tour 7-iron, offline dispersion changes by ~10% for each 10 mph change in wind speed

Tired of fliers? We test for spin in both wet and dry conditions.
On wedge shots, we've measured spin rate drops of over 40% on some balls, dropping from more than 10,000 RPM to 6,000 rpm, when friction is reduced through added moisture.

New pod up! This is my favorite so far....@shanebacon and I discuss fitting, how it’s evolved with new tools and tech, where it's going, and the differences in fitting novice vs. advanced golfers.
