Golf Ball Carry Distance Calculator





Formula

To calculate the Carry Distance:

\[ CD = BS \times \cos(LA) \times 1.75 \]

What is Carry Distance?

Carry distance is the distance a golf ball travels through the air from the point of impact with the golf club to the point where it first touches the ground. It is an important metric for golfers to understand how different clubs and swings affect their game.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the cosine of the launch angle:

\[ \cos(10^\circ) \approx 0.9848 \]

Step 2: Multiply the ball speed by the cosine of the launch angle and then by 1.75:

\[ CD = 150 \times 0.9848 \times 1.75 \approx 258.57 \]

So, the Carry Distance \( CD \) is approximately 258.57 yards.
