ball as it has forced club designers and clubfitters to change as well. The golf ball today has a solid-core with a softer compression that comes off the face of a driver with reduced spin.

Leave your ego at home and look at how far you hit your 3-wood off of the tee. If you hit it about the same distance as your driver that might give a general idea to the fact that a little extra loft may be helpful. Of course, too much loft could be just as detrimental as too little. With additional loft comes additional backspin. This creates too much energy that goes into the vertical component of velocity coming off of the face which could rob one of distance. So there is a narrow window as to what loft would maximize the launch condition for each golfer.

The center of gravity of the club also is a component of trajectory. We can understand as the center of gravity becomes lower in the club that the ball flight will increase. This is to allow the golfer now to hit the ball at or above the center of gravity of the clubhead. In addition, the
