What Does it Mean if a Golf Shaft is Flighted? When a golf shaft is flighted, it means that the longer irons will have an easier time popping the ball a little higher. That is because the longer irons have a lower “kick point,” which helps get the ball a little higher.
Amazingly, what is a flighted golf shot? If you watch the best players in the world hit wedges, you’ll see them frequently using a shot that most amateurs don’t have. It’s called a “flighted” wedge, and it flies with a lower-than-normal trajectory and usually moves from right-to-left (for righties) into the pin.
Considering this, how do you hit flighted irons?
Similarly, how do you hit a Planeed golf shot?
Also, how do you flight a wedge?
To hit it low, finish low. You don’t need much body rotation on the way back but you want a lot more going forward. Aim to finish with your chest facing the target. This will allow you to compress the ball slightly and have that Jordan Spieth-esque finish.What is a flighted iron?
The “flighted” shafts will have a lower ball flight in the shorter irons, and a higher ball flight in the long irons. Non-flighted shafts are all standard ball flight. Most better golfers prefer the added control of the flighted shafts in their scoring clubs (8-9-PW).
Why do I not hit my irons far?
One reason you might not be hitting the ball very far is that you have too high of a spin rate with your driver and irons. An easy way to spot this is watching how high your shots go in the air. Golf shots that get hit with high back spin rates tend to climb higher into the air.
Why do my irons go so high?
How do I keep my golf ball flying low?
Why do my wedges go so high?
Most likely you are backing up as you hit them. Instinctively we often fall back feeling like we have to help or scoop wedge shots up into the air. Realize that they will go high because of the loft on the face. To hit good crisp wedge shots that spin you need to make sure that you are hitting down through the ball.
Why do I hit my wedges so far?
The reason this type of golfer hits wedges so high and short is the weight of the 56, 58 or 60 degree wedge makes it harder to flip at the exact correct time. When you pick up a sand wedge or gap wedge, it has more weight on the face of the club than a common iron.
