Having watched my average driver distance reduced from around 230-240 yds ten years ago to barely 200 yds

now days , I am ( of course ) very concerned about trying to maintain or regain at least SOME of the former

length !

I'm using a routine Jaacob Bowden has given me ( as well as the drills that Tour Tempo teaches ) and my swing speed on the radar has improved considerably , but on the course I haven't seen much improvement yet.

I'm also doing PureStirke 5SK work also , and think maybe I'm trying to work from opposite ends of the spectrum as far as my hoped for improvement goes .

Does anyone have ideas or suggestions how I might better go about this self-improvement project ?

Thanks ,

Michael

Flexibility and core work.

This. If you saw my swing, it doesn't look like I'm swinging all that fast. I've learned to use my core and shift my weight. Club head speed is 91-92 mph with a 6 iron which I'm told is up there.

Flexibility and core work.

This and just making sure you are hitting up on the ball in the middle of the face with a close face to path relationship.

Have you taken your swing speed radar to the course? It's possible that you're swinging faster, but poor ballstriking is limiting your distance. Or, as you say, you're spreading your concentration too thinly across Jaacob's stuff and your 5SK lessons and your clubhead speed is dropping when you try to put a ball in play. Either way, taking the radar out on the course should give you some clues as to what's happening.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
