Summary

In this episode, we bring back Gene Parente from Golf Laboratories to break down some of the most eye-opening robot tests we’ve ever discussed on the show. From wet-vs-dry performance to why a 95 mph swing can keep up with 105 when you optimize impact, Gene explains the data in a way every golfer can actually use on the course. We also dive into mini-drivers, three-woods, gear effect, and the hidden physics that make certain clubs way harder to hit than you think. If you love understanding the why behind better golf, this is one of those conversations that will absolutely change how you play.
