Why is it unbelievable I can drive 300+ ? - Page 12

Look at the amount of attention and scrutiny Jimbo got by claiming a 300 drive!

 

I'm going to start claiming mad stuff before I post my swing vid as well!

 

A $100 swing speed radar would be worthless.  I'd honestly put more weight in Iacas' frame-rate analysis.

 

*sigh*

 

All I will say about this (and them I'm done), is that if, with that swing, you consistently carry your 4i 211 yards, then I can't wait to play in Vegas later this year.  Yesterday and 2 Thursdays ago I hit 4i shots about as good as I possibly can and they both went in the 215 yard range.  I also hit one off the toe yesterday and it went in the 175 yard range.  I can't wait to see how Sin City improves things.

 

First, let me say that whether you hit the ball 300 yards or 300 miles really doesn't mean anything to me. It's sad you're getting so much heat here....golf is supposed to be a fun game played by decent folks. I hate when people call other folks liars when they have zero way of knowing the truth. Relatively few people fly it 300, though, and that includes tour professionals. You may be one of them.

 

With that said, I live in Vegas. If you want me to show up at a range somewhere and watch you bomb it 300, lemme know. If you can do it, I'll be happy to shut these guys up.

Just think, all this time you're spending debating your big stick yardage on the interwebz and blasting drives on the range, you could be practicing your putts and chips.

Iacas's swing-speed algorithm is far more impressive than hitting a 270-yard carry with that swing.  This thread is funny.

I had a 324 yd drive, measured from both the GPS and the course markers/tee info.  Honestly, it's not a big deal and it felt good when I did it, but I can't do it consistent so I'd rather drive my normal 260-270 consistently and STRAIGHT than an occasional 300+.  Because, what happens if it's a short Par 4 that's 280 to the COG and I blast it 30+ yds over the hole?  Not good...

I have no problem driving 300+ yards, but I do need a downhill fairway and/or tailwind. Usually the ball stops pretty fast after it lands where I play golf.

Give me a rock hard fairway and I'll show you 300.

My point being that carry distance is a better indicator than total distance.

I think we can all agree that he generates more pop than the average male golfer (according to stats posted quite often by the local chapter of the short knocker fan club).

 

"I still don't even get how you think I'm only driving 220 ROFL. Like I said I can hit my 4 iron 220, and I can hit it 200+ probably two out of three swings." - you

 

That's pretty consistent

I am waiting for him to do the error calculations so we can learn that it is 90+-30mph:)

you know after reading "future pro" or whatever that kids name was thread i think you guys are being a little harsh on jimbo. that kid deserved every response he got and basically refused to have anybody actually watch him play. he made claim after claim, but wasn't willing to back it up.

 

jimbo on the other hand has offered non stop to have people come out and watch him, play with him, or go to a tracman and hit. 

 

if you're going to make bold claims, you might as well do it the way jimbo has. i absolutely hopes he hits it as far as advertised.

 

my best round came on short drives, but i've had great driving rounds where i've carded huge numbers. it takes time for the complete game to come together and in no way does your drive distance mean you're claiming to be a great player, which he isn't.

I'm super pumped to win The Open grand prize.

 

Go Martin Kaymer!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jimbo just by watching your right around 92 -95, your not producing enough torque in your backswing, lifting your left foot like you do is killing your chances to create the necessary torque. If someone else says I'm wrong say so but that is what I see. I think you may get a few swings up to 98 at times but that's probably about it.And also the only swings that count are the ones that go straight.

 

I know right?  Who would put any trust in such an unproven thing like SCIENCE?

 

 

Right.  So are you in Vegas too?  Or is it Colorado?  And let me guess, you have a horrendous short game?

 

If I blew one over the green on the fly on a 280 yard straight and level, no wind par 4 (that would be right at 300 yards in the air), I'd be bragging, personally. Double bogey? WTF ever...I just carried it 300+. Now regularly would be a different story.

 

Not to worry, though, as that's not gonna EVER happen to me.
