I get more distance that way than I do at the lower levels and poke it out there the same distances WW is hitting. I've got a Mavrik which is default 9 but programmable to 10, which I generally play (I put it back to 9 for Bandon Dunes last year which is hella windy). Even with the 10 I hit it pretty low, which works well in (generally) hard AZ fairways but on a lush course, not so much. I should probably hit more of an 11 or even 12 like you. But @WhiteWonderjust gave me the secret to monster drives so I'm going to try that out first. Seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,304 Posted May 8 3 hours ago, WhiteWonder said: last time out I had 3 or 4 drives that were roughly 290. I'm like gumby. It's all about the flexibility. Two of my friends who play (both are not good) can maybe hit 260 when they catch it perfect and both are former football player sort of meathead types who still regularly go to the gym and lift big. I have not seen the inside of a gym in 15+ years. Their swings are both extremely stiff... stiff hips, all arms One more thing on this and then I'll stop. I played baseball and golf in HS, and one year of each in college. Baseball was freshman second semester through sophomore first semester. The summer between those two I had a job that got out at 2:30 every day and I went to the Y to work out every day. Did I realize the importance of flexibility and core rotation? No!!! I pushed a lot of weight up and down like the meatheads in the gym, and reported to fall practice with the best looking body of my life... but not really helpful for baseball. I thought of this as I watched Corbin Carroll hit a homer just now. He's not big. But he has that rotational torque. I wish I could go back and tell younger "suns out guns out" Jerry to mix in some yoga and flexibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may go out tomorrow, or at least to the range to try @WhiteWonder's tips. Will advise if I do either. High of 90 tomorrow which is quite mild in a dry climate. Getting up into the mid 90s by the weekend; still OK, but not as much so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I made the changes to my driver swing that I was detailing to Jerry, my driver was stock 9.5 and I kept it there. Because I was making an effort to catch it on the upswing with a positive angle of attack, the following season I tested out lowering the loft to 8.5. I have kept it there since.

It hasn't come in yet, but looking forward to hitting it. my 3 wood is the callaway xhot 3 deep (although I had been searching for an original SIM which I believe you have). The 3 deep is 14.5 degrees. I can't imagine having my driver at 12. For starters my angle of attack would be the same with my swing, but the launch angle would wind up being too high, but really the idea of having a less than 3 degree gap between my driver and 3 wood would be weird.
