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
Then some Big(s)Hitter will come and ban everyone until 2032! And sign a load of dodgy cards for DClown too! And Tom Wishon doesn't know what he's talking about!
Ah! Memories!
Nowhere near as much fun these days!

As he's already admitted he doesn't, I was going to say, yes almost, but not CACK handed. Even your not that daft to believe it!

OP - on the basis there are typically four par 3 holes on a typical golf course, you've just stated that you're hitting an average of 12 of 14 fairways with an average drive distance of over 300 yards, playing cack handed. 85% of fairways at 300+ yards is… er… well… pretty good.
Golf forums are full of people (significantly) overstating how far they hit the ball, hence the difficulty of most to believe you're not mis-judging your distances.
Got yourself on a launch monitor and know for sure.

I can hit a 300 yard drive with my terrible swing and fade did so just the other week. not an average though. my average is probably closer to 220/230

Cack-handed guys can hit a very long way just like the rest of golfers! I know one who hits pretty close to that length. Plays casually off 6, so cack-handedness doesn't seem to have hampered him too much. Ben Hogan actually played cack-handed for a while as he was left-handed, but all the clubs he could get were right-handed.

all people who claim these prodigious distances seem to ignore the physics behind launching a golf ball.... they are also largely unaware of the numbers, such as above, required to send a ball out that distance .... and that's in a nice warm climate...
I also wonder how such big hitters, who generate such club head and ball speed, never seem to convert that hitting into impressive mid-long iron hitting - should easily hit those 200 yd par 3s with 6I if the drives are 300 yd....

As I said I normally drive around 260+ with cack handed grip, my grip does affect backswing however, with this said there are certain clubs which are affected, I hit a 5 & 6 irons 175 yards with no extra distance found when using a 3 or 4 iron!

Welcome to the madhouse SM, . just keep posting, most of the replies will be in fun, just ignore the rest. Your nearest course must be Greenburn GC. , which I hear has money probs at the moment. ALSO THEIR DRIVING RANGE IS DOWNHILL

Closest to me is mouse valley (Kames golf club) which currently has even more money problems.... As in closure unfortunately!! I have heard greenburn are also having troubles! I noticed the comments... Hence why I thought I would test the water
My view on the OP is the same as everyone else's but if any fit and healthy man is carrying his driver 190-200 yards then he is doing something wrong... I'm not sure what level you are exactly but off my HCP which wouldn't be classed as anything special I CARRY my 3 hybrid 205 yards and often more. The only people I see hitting drives that short are the type who aim completly left off target then hit a weak slice back to the intended fairway (you then know its going to be a long day) so I'm sorry but that's my view on that one.

What interests me is the difference between the two clubs. 50 yards difference, that's staggering. What was the cheap and nasty driver? How did you measure the yardage gains? Did your launch and spin numbers change dramatically? The rbz clearly fits you well!

Does you Hybrid "carry" 205 yards or is that including roll
Does no one think that this is possibly a wind up? I mean if I was the type of guy who returns to the forum after leaving in a huff this would be the exact thread I would post to get everyone going :rant:
It carries Phil and that is measured A) with Trackman during fitting and B) was measured to its pitch mark during the winter with my S3
If you need further clarification then PM Hovis :thup:
Oh and I belted one 242 yards on our par 5 a few weeks ago with a bit of wind... Again measured with the S3

Surly if you did such a thing the two drivers would be the black SLDR and the white SLDR?!
