    Rewatching old videos to prep for the golf season. Your methods have changed my golf game for the better. Started as a 30 handicap two years ago and now down to a 20.5 and trending downward. I get grief from guys who can bomb a drive 250 but into the bush lol. Keep up the great helpful content.

      I implemented his strategy as well and it 100% works. Dropped my scores to consistently be below 100 (its my first year golfing). I focused a lot of time on the range on my driver so its long (240 average) and consistent and it made a huge difference. I'm railing my drives out there on the fairway on every hole, then hitting nothing but 7, 8, 9, pw, gap. Staying on the fairway, hitting every green and keeping it in play. it works. I stopped trying these hero shots off the fairway with a 5 wood or 4 iron to try and get it out to 220 yards to land on the green, where i end up chunking, topping or fading the shit out of it into the woods.

    Used your strategy on my spring trip to Florida. 81-84 all 5 times I played. My yardages are different. But I use same stratagy. It’s key to know the yardages. And stay out of trouble. I can’t wait for the next episode. 200 yard driver. 175-185 7 wood. 165-180 4 utility. 150 6 iron. Etc. pitching wedge 100. 48 degree is my finess club. 60-100. And bump and runs. 58 degree wedge for sand and when I have to go over some stupid ass thing. 😂. Thanks. Enjoy

    • @TheStaniG
      @TheStaniG Місяць тому

      Im guessing not enough speed to make the lower lofted driver actually go further. Club Champion has a video on high irons? Vs hybrids? Or was it woods? And diminishing distance for "average" swing speed people. Basically theres a swing speed cap, and if you dont make it so,e of these clubs simply dont make sense.
      I crank my driver to 11deg from 9 for this reason and it now gaps well with my 3 wood. 100mph swing speed.

But if your driver is like 8 or 9 deg and your 3 wood is out carrying it because you dont have the speed to compress the ball enough to make the squarer impact payoff more than the loss in initial loft trajectory, yeah the extra loft will bring it back into balance.

However that driver length is prodigal. No way I can carry 290. In my defense it's a 15 year old club rocket balls 9.5 degree with stiff zhaft. I never really hit it well. Until the last 12 months.
