What is Launch Speed in Putting?

Launch speed refers to the speed of the golf ball coming off the putter face. In putting, a controlled launch speed is crucial for achieving optimal roll distance and greenside control.

How Putting Launch Speed is Measured

FlightScope utilizes patented Fusion Tracking technology – a unique combination of radar and camera – to capture the ball's speed at impact.

Why Putting Launch Speed is Important

Launch speed plays a significant role in determining the initial trajectory and overall roll distance of your putt. A controlled launch speed promotes a consistent and predictable ball roll, making it easier to judge distance on the green.

How to use it for improvement:

  • Optimize Putting Distance Control: Analyze launch speed data to understand how your stroke speed and putter face contact affect the initial ball velocity. Aim for a consistent launch speed that produces predictable roll distances for different stroke lengths.

  • Dial In Putting Tempo: By monitoring launch speed alongside other putting metrics, you can identify potential inconsistencies in your putting stroke tempo. A consistent tempo promotes more predictable launch speeds and improved distance control.

Key Takeaway

Launch speed is a valuable metric for golfers seeking to improve putting distance control and greenside feel. By analyzing launch speed data and working on a consistent stroke, you can achieve more predictable roll distances and sink more putts.
