Kick Point

The location along a golf shaft where maximum bending occurs during the swing, affecting ball flight characteristics, feel, and timing. Kick point influences launch angle and ball flight trajectory, with low kick points promoting higher launch and high kick points producing lower trajectory. Understanding kick point characteristics helps golfers select appropriate shaft specifications for their swing and desired ball flight. Professional club fitting considers kick point requirements based on swing tempo, transition characteristics, and launch preferences. Kick point optimization is crucial for maximizing distance and achieving consistent ball flight patterns.
