True Comparirison Speed and spin rubbers with Spin Sight with Dan

[vik]

Hi Dan
You collaborate with spinsight and Companies producing rubbers.Can you make real comparison with spinsight?You can choose one type of blade for example viscaria and glue them different types of rubbers, Buttefly,Tibhar,Andro etc, After that you can give us true comparison in terms of speed and spin
can you do it for us?

Is he able to hit with full potential on every rubber though?
And is Spinsight sufficient enough? When I hit full power I never got a reading on speed, sadly.
In general I like the idea if we add speed of different strokes and not focus on maximum reached. Low power, medium, max. With spin, flat hit.

These are valid points but still, Dan is a good player and having a 'Dan' spinsight reference for the most popular rubbers would still be pretty cool. If it's the same personal testing the rubbers the comparisons would be valid, even if a better or worse player would record different numbers.

spinsight has a tolerance, and dan doesn't play each day the same and even if he tests it on the same day exhaustion and concentration goes down over time.

Of course. Dan will not have the same swing speed on every swing. What is his variability swing to swing, one day versus another?

For golfers using swing analyzers to dial in clubs, you have to have clubhead speed to do any meaningful comparisons. No clubhead speed = waste of time. High quality equipment costs much more than an iPhone.

Spinsight quotes a best case error rate of +-2.5% and worst case +-5%. 100 spin could be at worst, 95-105.

A commercial retail rubber marked 50 is not 50.0000, it's around 49-51.

These variables and others make Dan comparisons pointless.

Dan can you hear us?

What is your point here?
That because humans aren't machines that any comparisons will not be useable or worthwhile?
As someone who has done a lot of research into rubbers and blade combinations this past year do you not think some benchmark comparison would have been useful?

Many TTD rubber reviews already have comparison tables at the end of the video like below. A more reasonable ask is if Dan and crew could roll up all the ratings into one master table and put it in a sticky in the equipment section.

btw, the Spinsight videos are sponsored, so the TTD crew is not likely to do free ads for every review.

it's clear that the manufacturers (ESN) or brands selling the rubbers (andro, donic etc) are not really interested in such a rated comparison, because it would instantly invalidate their marketing lingo.
If spinsight as a subcompany of ESN was smart it would actually add a feature for people to add the equipment that they are currently playing with and create a database of players + their material to be able to correlate what equipment is used by players reaching higher numbers, but currently the number of actual spinsight users is just too low for this to be feasable i guess.

It wouldn't be perfect but it would certainly be interesting.
