Launch conditions are really important and what you need to dial-in before anything. After that you can go thru the rabbit hole of things that can lead to more distance. 1- wider hands on the backswing. 2- higher hands on the backswing 3- lift of left heal on backswing for more hip rotation. 4- more shoulder turn 5- release the club ahead of the ball 6- swing the club like you need to throw it towards the objective 7- squatting before impact to use the ground in your advantage. 8- push forward with your right foot and backwards with your left at impact or before to generate more rotation 9- better sequencing. 10- realeasing the lag in the right moment 11- hitting the ball from the inside to the inside 12- hit the ball with less curvature 13- tee it high and hit up on the ball with low loft. 14- change grip to inter-lock to double-interlock 15- stronger grip 16- proper weight transfer 17- hit the gym 18- do speed tranning 19- use resistant bands 20- throw medicine balls 21- go see an instructor 22- get fitted 23- watch content from long driver's on YouTube, they have plenty of advices 24- be fast, not strong. 25- be fast only at the ball, not before, not after. 26- move the club faster in time from P5 to the ball. Etc.. Etc.. I tested a LOT of things... the ones that worked for me were: Better launch conditions, 2, 6, 11, 12, 13, 15, 22, 23,26. Now working with 18. -

Not today, but last time I played, so hopefully that's okay. My electric trolley died by the 10th green and I had to drag it round the last 8 holes. That was not fun. Birdied 17 to go -1 and then came up short on 18 on the face of a bunker that an earlier storm had absolutely destroyed. I couldn't get the back of the ball. Moved it about a yard and then got up and down for a 5. -1 wound up being the qualifying number, so that was quite annoying. Still - lots of good out there. The other three bogeys were one chip out of the trees, one three putt and one hole that's too narrow for how long it is and I took four to get down from 200 after hitting 2 iron off the tee. Four birdies were a 9 iron to 3 feet, an 8 iron to 2 feet, a two putt birdie and a chip and a putt on the other par 5. All in all, very happy with how I played. Couldn't believe it wasn't good enough. -

56-10. It's fine. Our grass is not super plush so I don't get super good contact with high bounce, but that's just me (picker/sweeper). I actually like it for the toe relief more than the heel relief. -
