Losing Distance With Driver

Recommended Posts

Most likely your equipment was wrong for your swing.  As you aged it must have become worse.  You probably needed a different shaft and possibly higher loft.  Just see if replacing the existing driver shaft will be a simpler option

In average we loose a yard each year after.. 30/40. Maybe it get worse around 80/90.
So if you are really seen a loose in distance after a few months is not because of age, it's probably cooler air, less roll because of wet fairways or a swing change that make you swing slower or with worst launch conditions. 

Is always good to check it with trackman and a pro who knows the numbers well. As a scratch player you would think I don't have much room to improve, but last November I was hitting it in average 260(240 carry), always been a short hitter. Hit the trackman with a Pro, change driver, change my club delivery, change my launching conditions and now I'm averaging 280, despite been a year older (39) and going at it with the exact same effort I did las year.

    • Day 61: did some mirror work, working on backswing and initial downswing stuff. Also putted on my mat for a while during a conference call.

    • Under $20 is pretty… inexpensive. I don't know that it really matters a ton at that level. Even the Snell 2.0 is regularly $24.99 (but you can get it for $19.99). I'd probably go that route, but… I don't know what else is out there. I don't mind the Callaway SuperSoft… 😉  PRIME 2.0 golf ball Urethane for ALL!

    • Day 137 (16 Sep 24) - Rain (another one of those tropical things rolled in south of here…worked on what I like to call “dink and roll” using an 8i in the bedroom (have about 15’ of distance) - hitting little chips (flying about 6-8’) and rolling out to auto return putting cup.  This drill replicates just off the green drills where it’s too tall to putt and you only need it to roll a short way.
