Long drive comp uk

[Jake_mcshannon98]

I’m looking to enter my first long drive competition in the uk. Ball speed ranges from 195-204mph. Longest drive with a taylormade QI10 XS shaft is 360 carry, 382 yards total. Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Long and straight is always good off the tee.


Sorry, couldn’t resist

Could send you the track man tracers if you’d like. I never swing that hard on the course but fortunately for long drive comps you only need 1 out of 5 balls on the fairway

I doubt our local contingent can share any pointers about something that not many can relate to/ have interest in.

Good luck anyway.

Do post your numbers though, would be interesting to see your launch/spin etc. What loft is the driver? Martin Borgmeyer LD driver is 4*, doubt Qi10 can be anywhere near that.

Okay that’s fair enough. I have no experience in long drive. I was advised by a friend of mine to get into it as he saw my numbers and couldn’t believe it. He plays off +2 and coaches so he has seen plenty of players through that. My driver set up is the QI10 LS 9* standard length XS shaft.

Is there a furthest right competition

My miss is left but let me know how you get on

Just to add, I’d say the best way to find out more is to find any UK LD guys on YT/socials ans see where they play. LD is not that popular in the UK as far as I can see, but there are a few promotions running events across Europe.

Failing that you can find a local TopTracer / Trackman driving range and get on their leaderboard

Can't help with who to contact, but an ex coach, Matt Nicole, won the European LD title with a 404 yard belter, but that was some years back.
His latest LD driver was 4° of loft and the shaft was 5xstiff.
XS won't cut the mustard!
