Driver challenge. Give me your cash.

[User20205]

When you only drive the ball 250 yards you think everyones a liar,most of the long timers on this forum are pretty quick to denounce anyones capability regarding driving,cos it makes them look weak,just softies really..

not really, just makes us look jaded, bored of 'how far I can hit it threads'. It's not big, not clever and you may as well start a post to say 'I have a tiny member'.

It may be true, it may not be true, either way the op looks like a knob, that is what gets a reaction.

'Only drive the ball 250 yards'. I wish. I have played with some big hitters from this forum, and one that consistently hits over 300 yards, so the distance isn't impossibe. The fairways hit stat certainly is, unless the OP only plays up and down the first and 18th at the Old Course.

Is this pish still going on................there's another reply.

200 yards is a good one for me, never seen anyone hit 300 and would love to see it. I can hit 10 yards, in the centre 99.9% of the time but no longer.

You're bloody useless you are.
I can comortably hit 12yds, sometimes 13yds down the middle at least 99.9% of the time, admittedly, only off a tee peg. Off the deck I reckon I'm averaging 8 to 9 yds down the middle.........downwind of course.

Slime.

I want to see this man hitting the ball on the course. I hit a good ball from the tee and I am probably around the 270-280 mark. Now and again I might just happen to swing a bit faster and catch it flush and get 300. But 325 average on the course with a regular shaft. The swing speed you must have is far in excess of any regular shaft. The principles of golf say you must hit it left with that shaft. I can sit in the range and lash my driver out the back but hey not gonna try it on the course cause I can hardly say where it will go.

i agree,i can swing 115mph with stiff shaft and this on the odd occasion relates to a slightly closed face at impact because it's slightly too soft,i hate to thnk how much worse it would be with a regular shaft.i'm not sure if any clubhead speed would be gained with the regular shaft but it wouldn't be worth it.

But surely if you accept that the clubface will be closed at impact, and adjust your set up accordingly, then the reult will be a good - ish strike. Maybe Steve has adapted his swing to compensate..


Disclaimer... im not saying that he has, im saying that its possible.....

Played with a young Pro today (was +4) who is bloody long off the tee and sends it a mile in the summer.

He hit one drive 301yards wind behind and the rest between 260-280yards.
Fairways hit was about 70%

He went round our short course level PAR which for him is a bad day.

To the OP 'dream on'
