Article Looks at Height v. Driving Distance on PGA Tour

oh c'mon,..they put Tiger at 6'1"  LOLOLOLOL......

some of those guys hit it almost twice as high as the lowest hitters....

One of the commentators at the WGC Shanghai event said Bubba doesn't drive the ball that high, I dunno, it looks pretty damn high to me. I'd be curious to see how he compares to other long hitters as far as ball flight height.

Off topic: I can't find any pro tracer vids of Bubba's drives, i figured there would be a ton out there.

Comparing apex height and driving distance shows that Bubba hits it pretty high (170') for a long hitter, and DJ and Rory pretty low (148'), the other long hitters (JB Holmes, Andrew Loupe, Koepka) hit it around 160'. Not sure what that means for amateurs though.

Followed Bubba some at the LA Open last year, he hit a couple drives noticeably lower than his playing companions but of course still outdrove them. The first time I thought he thinned it a little but I doubted that after he hit a twin to it later.  The mis-hits those guys have are not even generally noticeable on stock shots. I really think he does the high low hook slice thing more than anybody.

It was amazing how high every pro hits it. They all hit it really high, even the "shorter" hitters. Trajectory really sets them apart from us. I have a golf buddy who hits his 9 iron 150 so he thinks that means he hits it like the pros. Ummmmm, NO. Not even close.
