Im a fairly short hitter. Dont get me wrong on occasion Ive cleared 450 yards between a tee shot and a first fairway shot on a long par 5, which for me is the high end, but that doesnt happen every day. Usually its more like a little over 400 yards for two shots. I think I may have lost a little by having heavier steel shafts compared to the lighter graphite of a friends clubs Ive used when I get the longer drives, not sure.
But anyway, Im always reading articles about getting more distance...arent we all....but with the right arm in particular.
I thought maybe I could ask here and get some thoughts from you guys and then go to the range the next few days and try the different things you suggest and see what works for me.
Im hoping by May or so I can maybe be playing a lot better.
I did pretty well yesterday as far as accuracy. I played from the blues since everyone else was and still ended up getting bogey on the #1 handicap hole at my home course (Mentel), so Im not entirely unhappy given I used a 3 wood off the tee instead of a driver like the other guys, but I know Im not getting the clubhead speed they get because our second shots are them with a 6 iron and me with a 2 hybrid or something longer.
Thanks for any ideas and insight.
