PGA PGM Intro to Teaching Exam 1: 3.1- 3.2 Study Guide- Questions with Answers

Club-head Speed the velocity with which the club-head is traveling. Speed influences the distance the ball travels as well as the trajectory of the resulting shot. Centeredness of Contact the exactness with which the ball makes contact on the face of the club relative to the sweet spot. Angle of Approach the angle formed by the descending or ascending arc of the club-head on the forward swing in relation to the slope of the ground. Club-head Path the direction of the arc described by the club-head in it's travel away from and then back towards the target. Club-face Position the angle of the leading edge of the club-face relative to the swing path (open, square, or closed). This determines the ball's flight along the club-head's line of travel. Distance Speed + Centeredness + Angle of Approach Impact the moment when the full energy of the club-face is transferred to the ball, just prior to separation. Which of the 5 Ball Flight laws does Impact apply to? All 5 laws Club-head speed, centeredness of contact and angle of approach are all examples that primarily affect what? Distance Club-head path and club-face are examples that primarily affect what? Direction The 5 human variables that influence club-head speed are.... 1) Physical Strength; 2) Body Flexibility; 3) Swing Technique; 4) Leverage; 5) Neuromuscular Coordination With a club-face open and an inside-out club-head path, we can expect the ball to travel on what path? Push Slice path With a club-face square and an outside-in club-head path, we can expect the ball to travel on what path? Pull path With a club-face closed and an outside-in club-head path, we can expect the ball to travel on what path? Pull Hook path
