Golf ball distance is the distance a golf ball will travel within a single shot.

But how do we achieve distance? There are three main factors which determine the distance a golf ball will travel. This does not take into consideration theCallaway RAZR Hawk Driver effects of wind and air resistance.
Initial Angle of Flight - This refers to the angle at which the ball leaves the club head upon impact. Initial angle is determined by the loft of the club, the angle of incidence, the degree of ball deformation, and the friction generated between the club and the ball. A club with minimal loft will produce smaller initial anTaylorMade R11 Drivergles of flight when the ball being used is a spin-type ball.

Golf Ball Spin - This refers to the ball's revolutions. Spin is determined by head speed, materials used in the manufacture of the club, club loft, and swing path, as well as materials that go into the manufacture of the ball. The lift created by back spin causes btaylormade R11 on salealls to travel along high trajectories, while poorly hit balls tend to spin sideways, which cause hooks and slices.
Backspin causes a golf ball to lift and as a result will yield a longer shot, while poor back spin may cause the ball to slice to the right or hook to the left.

It is pretty obvious that a greater initial velocity and larger initial angle of trajectory will produce a longer shot. Once your angle gets too large, you enter the zone of diminishing returns. This means your distance will start to decrease again. Simple physics dictates that the optimum angle to achieve maximum distance is 45 degrees. However, with golf, due to the spin on the ball, TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Ironsair and wind resistance, and other factors, the optimum angle of trajectory is generally less than 45 degrees for maximum distance, and will vary from one golf scenario to another.

Remember ball flight laws only apply when proper Alignment is observed.
