March 2, 201213 yr Author Actually it's quite low. 14* on the first shot and 11* on the second. He hit's a very low ball, low spin, flatter style swing.
March 2, 201213 yr looks low but Q- which shaft did he use? whats the carry vs roll as it looks like lots of carry with little roll..... Wonder how crazy will stack up vs diamana x
March 2, 201213 yr I'm suprised that with close to 120mph club head speed, he is not getting more distance. On a US launch monitor (that is typically juiced up) he would be getting close to 330 yards
March 3, 201213 yr Author The majority of PGA Tour players don't hit it 300 yards while the majority of forum posters do..:o) not on TSG but it seems like everywhere else. To me driving distance is overrated. I would take 250 down the middle all day long. On the course conditions such as turf, temp, and roll play a big effect on distance as well. Somehow the eyes and ego get together and play tricks on us.
March 3, 201213 yr Ya, I always thought that it was pretty peculiar that people with only a few mph ss more than me were supposedly driving 30 more yards. I'm like, is my smash factor or other stats so off that I'm so much in the lack?

March 4, 201213 yr Easy puppies. It takes more skill than shaft to hit FAR. Just because you can't, doesn't mean no one else can. Watch and learn... Fast forward to 5:50 on video below. Edited March 4, 201213 yr by IshikawaFAN
March 4, 201213 yr Hhahhahhah " was out at the range just stripping of some 197yard all carry up hill onto the wind 7irons as a awarm up when i realised id lost a cplof yards recently........,"
March 5, 201213 yr driving distance, i think i heard last week is the no1 stat on the pga tour in regards to the highest results can nayone confirm this bec it left me a bit bewildered ,
March 5, 201213 yr Author driving distance, i think i heard last week is the no1 stat on the pga tour in regards to the highest results can nayone confirm this bec it left me a bit bewildered , I don't quite understand what do yo mean by highest results?
March 6, 201213 yr the most important stat this yr, is he who drives it longest .. wins most. or places highest most. i think it was said on the golf channel 2 weeks ago. im trying to confirm that , bec thats a huge thing bomb gouge win JD stlye
March 6, 201213 yr i thought the tour stat was based on an average distances from flat, downhill and uphill holes...
March 6, 201213 yr The most amazing part of this was watching Taka-san swing very hard at it and watching how his spin rate was able to stay very low! He produced alot of swing speed. I'd say another 10- 15 yards on juiced up launch monitors found in alot of shops!
March 12, 201213 yr thats how to drive a ball! 331 yards with a 3 wood HHHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA prepeosterous i love that thats juts insane!!! Edited March 12, 201213 yr by supo67
March 12, 201213 yr Author Love those graphics! I'm not buying the distance. Dustin Johnson is hitting his 3 wood 331 & Paul Casey hits his 6 iron 231yd's but only in promotional videos using their sponsors launch monitors. Joe Miller has the record of 230 with a 7 iron and the guy is a monster.
March 12, 201213 yr well.........., theres a marker on my home track at narita GC 14th 360 yard par 4. on the spot where tiger woods , in nov. 2009 , hit his 3 wood , en route to the INFAMOUS aussie open incident......... he popped in to refuel his jet, and nike set up a quick 9 hole japan only promo session then he flew out to oz to win and to be "discoverd" on this hole , he hit downwind a massive smoking huge draw on late fall grass ( ie.. plenty of roll.) 309 yards to the exact spot. theres a permanant plaque there. and it was blowing with him that day. we presumed he gotten hold of it ..........................., we were at the course watching his palying partner , (some 13ys old lefty uber hot shot kid that shot 37 ) the night before when the nike tour van rolled into the car park. tiger was in the bloody thing and we didnt see him , nice of hte club to let us know he was there ! , we were the only ones left on the range that arvo. as well. a wee bit peeved we were! anyway, 309 on this hole with a driver, let alone a 3 wood is remarkably impressive, for anyone, anytime . u gotta fly 290 to clear the bunker then 20 yards of ball catching rough to get to his spot he did this with a 3 wood! we all walk the hole in amazment , every time its defies normality now DJ can fly this shot . with his ballz ahh hhhhhhh, im speechless.
March 12, 201212 yr Ya, I always thought that it was pretty peculiar that people with only a few mph ss more than me were supposedly driving 30 more yards. I'm like, is my smash factor or other stats so off that I'm so much in the lack? A lot of numbers have to match up to get maximum difference. Taka pro has a good flat trajectory with low spin. Sometimes I hit it shorter with my fastest swing speed than my average. A lot has a lot to do with spin rate and trajectory. Of course having a fitted shaft and head combination for your swing type makes a really big difference on your numbers.
