The Physics of Impact: What Happens During a Golf Hit?
The moment of contact between your clubface and the golf ball lasts less than 0.0005 seconds. During this fraction of a millisecond, every variable of your swing geometry converges to dictate the ball’s launch angle, spin rate, direction, and total distance.  golf hit

The Dynamics of Ball Compression
To maximize distance, you cannot simply «sweep» or «scoop» the ball off the turf. A solid golf hit relies on compression. When hit properly with an iron, the club strikes the ball on a slightly downward trajectory (a negative angle of attack), trapping the ball against the clubface before taking a divot after contact.
