    Re: trajectory question?

    A 'boring' trajectory is relatively flat trajectory that is angled upward. The shot climbs on a straight trajectory before dropping off. Its highest point is well past the halfway point. A "boring" trajectory has little actual arc to its flight that penetrates the air well, making it good for windy days.

        Ricky, if you are only getting this trajectory with a miss hit, then of course you will not get much distance. You would need to hit on the sweet spot to get any distance. This flight doesn't stay low to the ground, it gains height consistantly as it travels, ending with a sharp drop.

        Take a look here to get a better understanding of trajectories, check this site.... http://www.golfinsite.net/understand...ajectories.htm

          My trajectory on my 3 wood keeps going up at the same rate to about 3/4 of the ball flight then it has an arch and falls steeply to the ground and has one or two bounces and a very little roll.

          Is this the correct trajectory I should be getting?

          I get the same sort of Trajectory on each of my clubs, of coarse the higher the loft the upright the ball starts it asending.

            If you take a look at the link I posted, it sounds like you have more of a tour trajectory. The difference being the arch you described just before the ball descends. The determining factor of your trajectory is your swing path and your shaft. As for if this is the trajectory you should be getting, well, is it the trajectory you want? You can change your trajectory with your swing path as well as different shafts.
