Re: Long Driving... competively
I heard that each 1" on a driver added is 6 MPH. So going from a 45" to 50" would be about another 30MPH! I also heard that each each MPH is about 2.2yds. so that should be an extra 66 yds! 370+66=436 good luck hitting it that FAR!!! you may be the next Mike Austin -
Re: Long Driving... competively
Skywalker,
The math is right, but the caveat is that to add the length, you still have to make center-face contact to keep getting the distance.
Wallock, the difference between a 7 and 5 is spin. The less loft, the less backspin. So if you can change your setup to still achieve an optimum launch angle, then you're laughing (providing that dropping 2° will also provide optimum spin).
And please, please bear in mind that the number stamped on the bottom of your club is just a best guess, the target spec. It's +/- 1°, in actuality.Comment
