Yesterday, I drove like I was driving a first generation proton car with 3 wheels and a frisbee instead of a steering wheel.

My flightmate (Mr. Fabian), on the other hand, was driving like he was in the Delorean. Any faster and further, he'll go back in time.

How, so many big hitters, my drive is becoming shorter each year - must be getting old Anyone knows of a coacj who can teach a student to drive further? I been to so many...without success...

i just want to be able to drive it 220-230m consistently, with a predictable dispersion and trajectory keeping the ball within the fairway.

working hard to realize this goal.

I am of the view that if one wants to be in Div A and be able to compete, then 220m is the bare minimum...

I am trying to make it to Div C of the GR league....and hope 180m drive can allow me to survive and retain my 'card'

I think I'm maxing out at 190m-200m total and with every new swing change and success I have at the range, I'm disappointed when i get on the course......the further i try to hit, the worse it gets.....now, not only do i not have distance, i don't know whether the ball is going right or left......how now brown cow??

ryoma or crazy driver for you dear sir!

The key to hitting it long lies in a bowl of $4 "Mee Pok"

I'm getting weird results in my equipment and drives...

I learned with a Mizuno Finalist starter set and a when I was having my final game with it, I had 3 240m drives (with roll)...mostly straight or a little to the left. Driving range was in the 180m range usually.

I upgraded to a Callaway Diablo Tour driver (US) last January and my drives started going to the right. I do get my few good hits and it reached 200-220m on the course but driving range average now at 160m range if I can get it straight.

Convinced the One-degree open face of the Callaway driver was at fault on my drop in performance, I bought a Callaway Diablo Octane (US). After using it for 6 weeks, I was shooting more more straight but at a shorter distance than my first two drivers.

Now, I'm going back to my Tour model as the head is smaller and it can give me faster swing speed. I suspect my first club was significantly lighter than my current ones but perhaps the more experience guys can advise if the equipment had an impact.

driver 1 goes maybe 130-150m. hehe... i know, i not good. :-)

Hey guys,

I used to hit it straight and short when i was an amateur....but after turning professional, I realized that flexibility is one of the the key factors...Having undergone lots of stretching exercises, I managed to increase my overall driving distance from 250m to 290m and was ranked top 7 longest distance in Thailand tour...

As a coach, I'd say many factors are important to hit the ball a long way....mainly a sound set-up is important, good swing, and clubs that have an appropriate swing weight for any individual...

Just for sharing, check out this youtube video....its pretty interesting...

ps: i'm not advertising for them just felt that it was sort of similar to the way I was doing my stretching exercises while training in Thailand....Lots of twisting and turning!!

Kun Yang, i see the way you hit at NSRCC....not everyone can twist and turn like you la, most of us past that prime age.

Yeah, he is still very young like Rory ...
