Japanese term

やさしさ

Japanese to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation golf
それらのすぐれた特長から、やさしさと飛距離という両方のアドバンテージを追求するツアープロによって実戦に投入されています。

i think this refers to "a club that makes it easy to hit the ball far" or "a club that gives you great distance with just an easy swing"

i'm looking for a noun..."easyness of swing" sounds lame,
and "easy hitability" is bogus...

any input greatly appreciated

it is left in hiragana (in my experience this is done so that the word carries the nuances of both kanji...which is cool sometimes, and other times it's a tad too vague..)

i'm seeing that �₳���� is used in golf to refer to several things: easy to play, easy to hit the ball higher, can hit softly and still get good distance, etc.

i guess i should just rewrite the sentence so it doesn't need this idea to be presented as a noun.

Thank you for your response :)

Which Kanji is used for �₳����?�@�D����or�Ղ���? If the latter then your thinking is on the right track. But if the former, you might need to give your interpretation a slight twist.

Elegance, gracefulness

Provided it is 優しさ. We are talking Japan. So even elegance can be an important issue of "playing it in style".

Great shot by Easy strock/ Easy swing

Declined
I think here you are talking about やさしさ kanji is 易しさ means easy.

Translation will be :
"Great shot by easy strock/ easy swing"
