I never used to think much about impact stickers but recently while playing in a group....one of the players had one on his driver. I looked at the scatter pattern he had created with interest. He offered me one so I thought why not. What I found out, that I didn't know, was almost all my hits, while concentrated were concentrated from the edge of the center out to the toe. Many of those hits gave me the consistent distance I'd been used to so it was quite a surprise I wasn't hitting the center of the club.
In an earlier post.... center hits give you the equivalent of an extra 8 - 10 mph swing.
According to the impact label maker Longshot..... "Missing the Sweet Spot by one half inch equals a 7% loss of distance and missing the Sweet Spot by one full inch equals a 15% loss of distance". If your off center drives are going 240 yards....hitting the Sweet Spot can increase your distance with the same swing by 16 to 36 yards!
I used these Calloway stickers to help me center my drives as you can see by the notes I've taken from two trials. As you can also see I have more work to do but it's getting better. That's why I ordered a whole roll from Longshot.😀
