One of the most important sessions you can take is a Bag Mapping session. Bag Mapping is charting out your average carry and total distances with all the clubs in your bag. This is also a service that is not rushed into, meaning we need to make sure you are first hitting the ball solid and can demonstrate some club face and club path control to get the proper distance potential, or you are consistent to some degree.

​

A bag mapping session also takes time. You will hit A LOT of golf balls, so the time it takes is dependent on you, that is why this is a by the hour service. Some players can do it in an hour and a half, while others can hit 5-10 ball then needs to rest. Some players need to make adjustments, or simply have a few bad swings. Each shot should have as much dedication to the one you would have on the golf course.

​

I will typically have you start with a 7-iron or 8-iron to warm up. When you are ready, we get started.  We take out any shank or "un-categorical" data from the group and then take the average of the remaining shots in regard to carry and overall distance. This average indicates what you SHOULD be playing your distances at.

​

I know you may be saying to yourself that you can hit your 7-iron further than the average data shows. As that may be true on the occasional “perfect” shot, how many of those did you hit out on the golf course? If it was only a few, then its time to realize that golf is simple, but it ain't easy, and we don’t always hit perfect shots. In fact, we maybe only hit a few “perfect” shots in an entire round, with the majority of your shots being considered “mis-hits”.

​

When you mis-hit your shots, you will lose distance and accuracy and one of the main causes of mis-hits is not finding the center of the clubface at the time of impact. This usually leads to distance losses anywhere from 5 to 20 yards or possibly more! If you're not sure if you are striking the center of the clubface, lets set up a session and look at it, and fix it. Other factors contributing to distance loss are poor clubface control and poor ground contact.

 

Knowing the actual average carry and overall distance you hit your irons will be a huge advantage for your golf game. Club selection decisions will be based more on reliable data rather than emotion. You will start to hit more greens in regulation rather than coming up short, or trying to get the maximum distance perfect shot by swinging out of your shoes because that is the distance you think you are supposed to hit it. And for that occasional “perfect” iron you just flushed over the green, enjoy a well-hit golf shot as they don’t come along too often! By knowing your correct yardages, I bet you will have more birdie putts by playing the averages!
