Interesting video. Wonder if they maybe turned a blind eye to the ProV1 (admittedly a ball I use) and subsequent models and how far they fly?

In this day and age of adjustable Drivers, I wonder how they determine if there is a "standard" ball launch? I got to think that some balls get maximum distance from certain adjustable Drivers whereas Iron Byron just hits all of the them at the same angle and launch. It would be interesting to see if it affects the carry, amount of roll or overall distance. I'm thinking more in lines with the balls like a Bridgestone that claims to work better on 115 mph swing speeds (plus or minus).

Iron Byron's swing hit the ball on the same spot, coming in at the same angle every time. If it truly adapted Byron's swing it is possible that the angle of attack is less than ideal with modern technology. I can hit a ball with a 100 mph + swing and hit the same speed time over timeto find that I have hit a ball 260, 285 and 300 yards. The difference being the launch angle and the amount of spin on the ball. I had never considered that Iron Byron may not be able to make those adjustments. |
