01 / Why it matters
Carry is the number that matters for clearing hazards and holding greens, and it is the basis of sensible gapping.
Carry Distance
Carry distance is how far the ball travels through the air before its first bounce.
02 / Performance impact
Carry results from speed, launch and spin acting together. Total distance depends further on landing angle and ground conditions.
03 / Common misconception
Total distance on firm ground is not a reliable basis for building a bag.
04 / How TruePath considers it
Bag architecture is built on modelled carry so that each club has a defined job.
