Apparently Callum Shinkwin used one today and shot 68. Personally thought of it would terrify me
Would you consider using a 48-inch driver?

I'd give it a go - what happens though I couldn't guess!
Nope. I'm nowhere near good enough with a driver to be able to use one at that length. I suspect I would be better going the other way, shorter not longer.
You are going to start getting the trick shot boys teaching pro's shortly. They have been using comedy drivers for a while now.

I have enough trouble keeping a regular sized one on the golf course as it is!

It’s not going to fit under the rain hood on my bag. I’m out!
i'd give it a go as it cant be that much worse than my normal driver

Only when I'm dropping the ball two club lengths from something horrible.

I had a go playing with an uncut driver shaft for a bit of fun.
Couldn't find the ball with the club face.
Struggled to keep the ball in the confines of the driving range.
Gained no distance.
Did have a good laugh trying it though.
It could have gone better with a bit of playing around with different shafts and head weights etc. But I couldn't be bothered.
I'm waiting to get out to the range to see how my shorter lighter driver goes.

The focus group was asked, "How can we sell more premium drivers?" and some comedian at the back of the room shouted, "Make them buy two!"
I'll pass, thanks.

No,drivers are to long for most of us anyway they should be getting shorter not longer

I'd try one for fun, but I imagine the most likely result is just that I slice it more.

Would look a bit silly sticking out of my little pencil carry bag.
i'd give one a go, prob the only way i'm going to be able to get that extra 20 yards i need to get over our new bunkers... in fact i'd give a 50 a go if it did that
