You can not believe this yourself?!

You are now saying, that you only get ballooning drives because you strike the ball too high on the clubface?

I challenge you to tee the ball so low, that you can't possibly hit it too high on the face, and then try to hit down on it instead.

And how does the top of the clubface get to have a higher CoR than the sweet spot???

It's not making a bit of sense!

This discussion is at a point where I honestly have a hard time taking it seriously. I have provided statements from top players and coaches, descriptions of the physics involved, statistics from public tests etc.

You believe what you want to believe.

It all reminds me of this, which will be my exit-cue...
