February 26, 200520 yr I have a Titleist 983 e 10.5*, YS-6 shaft-stiff 45''. My question is this I'm about 5'9 and a bit, swing speed=95 mph. Should I shorten the length of my driver? I see all the tour pros with 44.5" and even 44" drivers, and there 3-6" inches taller than I am. What should i do? Help! :-D
February 27, 200520 yr How is your control? The main reason players shorten their driver is because it gives them more control. This is one of the reasons many men can hit their 3 wood more consistantly than their driver - it's 43" long. If you can control your 45" driver, stick with it. If you can control a 46" driver, stick with it. Length doesn't matter in your driver as long as you're hitting it straight. In theory, the longer the better (within reason) because longer = higher swing speed = more distance. Hope this helps.
