Driving Distance

[warbirdlover]

I'll let you hit my driver sometime and you can see if that's the problem. But I know your swing speed was/is faster then that. Or maybe you've hit that "age" where everything slows down? That distance you're getting is about right for 101 mph swing speed.

Have you tried hitting your Cleveland driver?

My Cleveland driver sucks and is going up for sale.

Lag, you need more lag.

Or is it hips? More hips?

Have you tried swinging harder?

I need help. I might be hitting the driver well, but only 240-260 ish. Its embarrassing that I used to be 280-310. Swing speed with the driver is about 101 mph. And launch angle is about 12 degrees. HELP!

This might help....

Guys, I just played the first round of the year. Was windy af and rainy, fairways were soaked....and I hit the longest drive of my life! I was bombing all day but I got lucky conditions on a par 5. Hole played uphill until 300-310 yards, then was downhill over the crest of the hill. Believe it or not, I hit a 417 yard drive. Had about 20 mph wind at my back and I just tried to get it up in the air. 417!!!! My partner and I both had gps units. All the stars just aligned. I was so proud, I wrote the drive on the card and made my buddy sign the card for a witness lol. I don't want to come here just to brag, just share my excitement. I know it sounds unbelievable but it's true. I didn't hit a cart path and the ball ended up in the center of the fairway. I know, I know, I sound like a golfwrx'er

I played great and shot 1 over at a course I had never played but that 1 tee shot made my day.

Btw, I had a pw into that par 5 and still made par lol

To be fair, it was the first round I have played but I have made a driving range at my house for me and my kids. I have hit a ton of balls this year just not on a course

Hahaha, Did I mention that I hit a f'ing golf ball 417 freaking yards?! Let's not talk about the gale force wind at my back or the ball landing on a downhill slope. Let's keep that a secret! 417!

How far? Are you sure?
Great to see you posting again! Good news about house, etc. You "youngsters" have enough energy to take on these tasks. We'll be sailing through Illinois on I-64 in a week or so. Keep the driver in the bag until we're past. The wife will be comin' for blood if an errant shot hits her car!!!!

I think you looked at the wrong hole's yardage when you did that calculation...
