Massive Lateral Dispersion — Your #1 Issue
Priority Fix
Your spin axis standard deviation is 30.2° with the driver and the lateral yardage spread is enormous — shot 4 went 62L, shot 12 went 74R. That's a 136-yard wide spread. A scratch golfer needs roughly ±20 yards maximum. The root cause is inconsistent face-to-path relationship: your club path is actually quite consistent (1.4L ± 1.3°) but your face angle at impact swings wildly. Shot 12 shows 9.5R face-to-target vs shot 6 at 32.9L — that's the problem. The fix isn't swing path; it's face control through the hitting zone. Work on grip pressure consistency, and specifically drill face awareness with impact bags or slow-motion practice. With 105mph club speed you have the power to compete — but you'll spray drives all day until this tightens.
Driver spin axis dev: ±13.4° (target: <5°)
Driver lateral spread: best 3.0R, worst 74.4R / 62.2L
Club path: consistent 1.4L ± 1.3° ← this is fine
Face angle: wildly inconsistent ← this is the issue
Thinned Ball-Striking — 7 Iron
Priority Fix
Shots 7 and 9 in the 7 iron carried only 79 and 62 yards respectively — these were skulled thin shots. Shot 12 at 126 yards was also sub-standard contact. A smash factor of 1.09–1.19 on irons screams thin/heel contact (ideal is ~1.38 for a 7 iron). The thinned shots show massive roll and very low spin, confirming the leading edge is catching the ball. Your attack angle is a consistent -5° which is correct, but your low point appears to be inconsistent. Focus on ball position (slightly forward of centre) and keeping spine angle through the ball. Avoid early extension. Drills: towel behind ball drill, strike down on a tee to train consistent low point.
7 Iron smash factor range: 1.09–1.33 (avg 1.25)
Carry dev: ±29.8 yards (tour: ±8–10 yards)
Shots 7, 9: 79 & 62 yards carry — thin contacts
Ideal smash factor for 7 iron: ~1.36–1.38
Driver Spin: High on Mishits
Work On
Your best driver shots (shots 3, 5, 16) show 2,194–2,558 rpm spin — that's excellent, right in the optimal 2,000–2,400 range for your speed. However, shots 12 and 15 balloon to 3,678–4,078 rpm, which costs you ~25–40 yards of carry. This correlates directly with high dynamic loft (15.9°) on those shots. You're likely flipping at impact on mishits, adding loft through the zone. The solution is to maintain shaft lean through impact. Your average spin loft of 5.7° is fine — but the dev of ±3.0° needs to come down. Practice with impact tape to confirm centre strikes; heel hits add spin and loft.
Good spin shots: 2,178–2,394 rpm (shots 1,2,3,5)
High spin shots: 3,068–4,078 rpm (shots 12,13,14,15)
Spin loft dev: ±3.0° — target <1.5°
Optimal spin for 105mph: ~2,000–2,500 rpm
5 Iron Contact Inconsistency
Work On
Your 5 iron smash factor ranges from 1.13 to 1.39 — that's the difference between a pure strike and a heel/toe miss. Shots 17 (84 yards) and 16 (116 yards) were clear mishits pulling your average down by ~15 yards. Your club speed of 89mph is consistent but ball speed is not, which means the strike point is moving. Lateral impact dev of ±0.48 inches confirms this. For a scratch golfer, ±0.15 inches is the target. Focus on a quiet lower body at the start of the downswing — slides and dips move the arc. Drill: feet together drill for 5 minutes per session to feel centred rotation.
5 Iron smash range: 1.13–1.39 (avg 1.32)
Ball speed dev: ±6.0 mph (target: ±2.5 mph)
Carry dev: ±26.4 yards (target: ±10–12 yards)
Lateral impact dev: ±0.48 inches
Wedge Direction Scatter
Work On
The PW lateral average (+1.7R) is acceptable, but the standard deviation of ±13.2° in spin axis means you're spraying it left and right. Shot 2 went 11.6R, shot 17 went 25.2L. For scoring shots in the 120-yard range, a scratch player needs precision to ±5 yards. The inconsistency comes from your varying face-to-target angle at delivery (FTP ranges from 18.6R to 12.9L — a 31° spread). Your attack angle (-7.8° avg) is solid for a wedge, but you're releasing the face inconsistently. Work on holding the face square through contact with a slightly weaker grip to reduce over-rotation.
PW face-to-target spread: 18.6R to 12.9L (31° range!)
PW lateral dev: ±13.2° spin axis
PW carry dev: ±19.3 yards
Scratch target for PW: ±5 yards lateral
What's Working: Speed & Attack Angle
Keep
105.1 mph driver club speed is legitimately scratch-level — the average scratch golfer swings at 100–106 mph. Your attack angle of +5.4° up on driver is textbook; this gives you the ascending blow needed to optimise launch and spin. Your smash factor of 1.40 on average is very good — it shows you're finding the face often. On your best driver swings (3, 5, 16), you're carrying 251–268 yards, which is elite amateur distance. The iron AOA is also consistent: -4 to -5° down strike is exactly right for mid-irons. You have all the physical tools to reach scratch. The remaining gap is purely shot-to-shot consistency and face control.
Club speed: 105.1 mph — top 10% of amateurs
Driver AOA: +5.4° — optimal for high launch
Best driver shots: 251–281 yard total distance
Iron AOA: -4.0 to -5.5° — textbook descending blow
