Equipment Does Matter
Some golfers suffer in silence while persevering with clubs that do not fit their swing specifications. Imagine if a tall person was to drive their shorter friend’s car. The first two things that the new driver would have to do is adjust the seat position and move the mirrors. The very same is true with a set of golf clubs, instead of seat position, there is shaft length, flex and weight and in the place of mirror positions there are lie angles, grip thickness, swing weight and much more!
At Duntryleague Golf Centre, we don’t leave these varying factors to chance. We use Trackman 4 to explicitly measure every conceivable factor to make sure the clubs you are getting are 100% right for you.
You need your equipment to be working for you, not against you!
At Duntryleague Golf Centre we would like to offer you a FREE fitting experience to ensure you get a great set of clubs. Demonstration clubs are also available to try before you buy from us. Once your new set has arrived and you have had a few games we offer a Complimentary Golf Lesson as a follow up.
If you are interested in a particular model of golf equipment, as your Club Professional please give us an opportunity to give you the best possible price.

Trackman
With Trackman 4 we are able to give you instant feedback on club delivery, launch, ball flight, and landing.
The TrackMan 4 golf launch monitor measures and displays the full trajectory of any shot, from 2 m pitches to 350 m drives, pinpointing the landing position with an accuracy of ±0.5 m at 150 m. It also maps the shot’s 3D trajectory in real-time, together with all impact and launch information.
SMASH FACTOR
Smash Factor is ball speed divided by club speed.
Smash Factor relates to the amount of energy transferred from the club head to the golf ball.
The higher the smash factor the better the energy transfer.
SPIN RATE
Spin Rate is the amount of spin on the golf ball immediately after impact
Spin rate has a major influence on the height and distance of a shot. Spin rate is one of the least appreciated numbers, especially in windy conditions.
LAUNCH ANGLE
Launch Angle is the angle the ball takes off at relative to the ground.
Launch angle is highly correlated to dynamic loft. Launch angle will always be a little less than dynamic loft, but will have a similar value.
CARRY
Carry is the distance the ball travels through the air.
An important thing to know about carry is that the value is given for a landing area that is the same height as where the ball is hit from. Then the golfer can adjust for uphill and downhill shots on the course.
BALL SPEED
Ball Speed is the speed of the golf ball immediately after impact
Ball speed is created by club speed and impact.
Bad impact such as shots hit on the toe or heel will reduce the potential ball speed.
CLUB SPEED
Club Speed determines a golfer’s potential distance
Club Speed is the speed the club head is traveling immediately prior to impact. More club speed equals more potential distance.
Bad impact such as shots hit on the toe or heel will reduce the potential ball speed.
DYNAMIC LOFT
Dynamic Loft is the amount of loft on the club face at impact.
The golfer’s attack angle, how the shaft bends, how the golfer releases the club head, whether the club face is open or closed to the club path, and where the ball makes contact on the club face can all impact the dynamic loft.
ATTACK ANGLE
Attack Angle is the direction the club head is moving (up or down) at impact.
Shots hit off the ground should have a negative attack angle in order to create “ball first” contact.
However, golfers with slower club speeds should be careful not to hit too much down (negative attack angle) with their irons.
CLUB PATH
Club Path is the direction the club head is moving (right or left) at impact.
Most golfers relate this number to hitting the ball “in-to-out” or “out-to-in”.
A positive value means the club is moving to the right of the target at impact (“in-to-out” for a right-handed golfer) and a negative value means it is moving to the left of the target (“out-to-in” for a right-handed golfer).
