Nipped into my local driving range tonight after work to try out my newly purchased taylormade driver, with my old driver (cheap & nasty) I would average a 250-260 yard drive.... With my new driver (rbz 2 stiff) I was averaging around 300-310. I play using a cack handed grip also so seeing immediate results has certainly pleased me! Has anyone else found this with new drivers? Or any tips to maximise driver distance?
 
I average around 240 - 260 with my driver :thup:

Thats about 5 iron length on forum yardages :D
 
Have I logged onto the bombsquad by mistake? Cue 30 pages of nonsense....'no you can't' 'yes I can' etc etc

:thup: good luck mate, I love you :o
 
I think most players (well at my level)will carry 190-200 yards an get another 10 to 15 yards of roll, depends on how hard ground is.
 
I can appreciate your speculative view on my post with regards to distance.. By no means whatsoever am I near professional level nor bubba Watson level however if I hit 12 out of 20 shots over 290 - 300 surely it's an achievement regardless!
 
Only 310? Imagine how far you could hit it if you had been fitted for your "gamer", took some lessons and saw a mind coach.

Youuuuuuuuu loooooooooonnnnnnnngggggg!!!!

I'm biting, I can't resist.

Are the 12 out of 20 on the fairway?

Well done, very good.
Welcome to the Forum.

Is there a big downhill slope on your golf range?

To maximise driver distance I would recommend adding 4" to your shaft, get a stiffer shaft and swing faster.
 
At the moment I'm not a member of a club due to having a baby recently (not me personally) but looking to join a club in the near future, on an average round I would normally land on around 14 fairways, I also almost always play a fade which I put down to playing cack handed
