Dr. Paul Wood is the VP of Engineering at Ping Golf and leads a department responsible for Club Design, Research, Development, Innovation and Testing. One of the leading minds in the golf industry his passion if for the Physics of Ball Flight, and the Golf-club and Golf Ball interation.

His passion for engineering led him to conduct a test, using Ping's high speed motion capture system - FOCAL, to capture data from 150 different players hitting wedge shots to various targets. (FOCAL tracks the entire swing and gives the best club impact numbers in the world.)

Paul joins the #OntheMark podcast to share his findings and in so doing help you become a better Wedge player.

Information shared and discussed includes:

• Impact Location and its effect
• Ball Speed, the correlation to Distance and the Ideal Numbers
• Angle of Attack Variability and Golf-swing Low Point Control
• Steep vs. Shallow swings and their effects
• Spin Loft and the Ideal Numbers for Success
• Ideal Launch Angle Numbers, and
• Draw vs Fade Biases in Wedge play

This podcast is sure to help you understand exactly how a well-struck Wedge shot happens and what you need to do in order to become a wizard with a Wedge.
