The tool in question is designed to determine the distance intervals between golf clubs within a players set. It is a method, often employing technology, to measure how far a golfer hits each club, ensuring there are no significant distance overlaps or yardage gaps that could hinder performance on the course. For instance, it might reveal that a player hits their 7-iron 150 yards and their 6-iron 155 yards, indicating a potential need to adjust technique, equipment, or club selection strategy to achieve a more consistent yardage separation.
Properly spaced club distances are essential for effective course management and lower scores. Without consistent and predictable yardage intervals between clubs, golfers may find themselves frequently stuck between clubs, forced to either under-swing or over-swing to reach the target distance. This leads to inconsistency and potentially poor shots. The process helps to identify weaknesses in a golfers bag setup and provides valuable data for making informed decisions about club selection and swing adjustments. Historically, this process was done manually, often relying on range sessions and estimations. Current technologies now allow for more precise measurements and data analysis.
