European Tour Data

Flightscope data from a recent Euro Tour event. Guess who it hit the longest drive in 4 days of tracking the 15th hole?

KARLSSON, Robert 116 172 2496 468 11.3 110 7.5 278

KAYMER, Martin 115 170 2418 263 8.4 78 6.3 298

We see here that Kaymer has slower club speed, ball speed, and lower launch angle, yet is 20yds longer than Karlsson.

Can someone explain this to a confused soul?

Probably a typo, gust of wind or misread of some kind. Click the second link and check the other 3 days - Kaymer's numbers are where they should be.

The difference between Daly and Quiros makes no sense to me. Daly hits it farther with significantly slower club/ball speed and more spin, and with launch parameters that are very close to Quiros?

There are a lot of weird scenarios in that document. What was amazing to me is how far some of the slower swing speeds were carrying their ball.

Do they have the angle of attack numbers?

flightscope is the answer to the question, "Why don't these numbers make sense?"
