These launch characteristics are not ideal for everyone. When launch monitors were initially tested with PGA Tour players this was true. But for slower swing speeds you must launch it higher than 12 to produce optimal distance, and quite likely need more than 3,000 rpms spin rate. For example, if you’re attempting to water a tree from a long distance with a low pressure water hose. The only way for you to try to reach and water the tree is if you increase the trajectory of the water flow. By increasing this trajectory of the water, you’re now able to reach the tree from a longer distance with a lower water pressure.
