High speed video study on effects of loft and rise angle to ball roll
Effects of Loft and Rise angle
The force vector applied to the ball determines launch angle and ball spin:
- The effective loft at impact determines launch angle (appr. 80%)
- The difference between loft and rise determines ball spin (effective loft > rise = backspin, effective loft < rise = topspin)
General mechanisms of impact to the ball:
LOFT imparts BACKSPIN to the ball:
RISE imparts TOPSPIN to the ball:
Example 1: Putting with neutral hands but loft higher than rise angle
Example 2: Added putter loft - low rise angle
Example 3: Delofted putter face - rise angle higher than effective loft
