In this high-powered panel from Open Forum 10, the leading minds in golf science and short game instruction gather to debate the physics of the scoring zone.
Featuring Joseph Mayo, James Ridyard, Parker McLachlin (The Short Game Chef), Dr. Erik Henrikson (Ping), and Fredrik Tuxen (TrackMan), with special guest Brad Faxon, this session dives deep into the 'steep vs. shallow' debate that transformed Viktor Hovland’s game.
The panel explores the critical relationship between angle of attack, friction, and spin loft. You'll learn why the '30-degree launch window' is considered the gold standard for PGA Tour players and how TrackMan technology interprets the 'Newton Divot' during turf interaction.
Whether you are a coach looking for data-driven insights or a player trying to master your wedges, this discussion provides a masterclass in short game mechanics.
