Understanding Ball Speed and Club Head Speed
In golf, ball speed is the velocity of the ball the instant it leaves the clubface. Club head speed is how fast your club is moving at impact. Together, they tell the story of your swing’s efficiency, energy transfer, and overall distance potential.
Ball speed is largely determined by how efficiently you strike the ball, not just how hard you swing. The relationship between the two is captured by your smash factor, which measures how much energy from your swing is converted into ball speed. Maximizing efficiency means cleaner contact, tighter dispersion, & longer, more consistent drives.
How TAG One Improves Performance
The TAG One Sports Radar gives golfers access to the kind of instant, accurate feedback once reserved for tour-level launch monitors. Pocket-sized, precise, and simple to use, TAG One captures both ball speed and club head speed readings anywhere you practice.
With every swing, TAG One helps you:
- Measure real progress: Track ball speed and club head speed over time.
- Master impact efficiency: Discover the swing adjustments that maximize smash factor.
- Refine your rhythm: Find the tempo that consistently delivers faster, cleaner contact.
- Bridge feel and feedback: Match what you sense in your swing to what the numbers reveal.
It's physics
Speed in golf is about more than just force. It’s about timing, sequencing, and precision. A small improvement in mechanics or impact location can translate into yards of added distance.
With TAG One, every swing becomes a data-driven learning moment. By connecting real-time radar feedback with your practice routine, you can experiment, adjust, and refine until efficiency becomes second nature.
Combine TAG One with AiCE, our Artificial Intelligence Coaching Expert, for smart analysis and guided improvement. AiCE helps translate raw numbers into actionable advice, allowing you to understand why one swing outperformed another and how to repeat it.
