Most golfers have at least 10 metres in the tank. The “gear effect” is often one of the reasons this distance remains untapped.

Striking the ball low on the face makes the club head twist forward, around its centre of mass. This produces a counter-twist in the golf ball (“gear effect”) that increases backspin. The shot launches low with a high rate of backspin; a distance-killing combination.

An ascending strike (positive attack angle) near the centre of the face produces little vertical gear effect, launching the ball higher and with less spin, increasing distance.

Once we know your strike pattern and swing path, we can get you into gear with the correct shaft, loft and face angle. Leave us your details to find out.
