When i hit it right, I carry my driver a good 180-200 yds, but i ALWAYS get another 30-40 yards of roll on it. (i dont get a lot of height with my driver)

And whenever i can manage to hit my 3w (actually my 18* hybrid) off the deck, its good for around 200 yds. my distances aren't that big, but i'm just a beginner. i guess im like most of the other people in this thread though and there is a good 30-40 yard differnence between my driver and 3w.

and just like stated earlier, i think its better to start learning with a driver. the sooner the better. it might not really matter on the 300-350 yard par 4's but when you get to the longer par 4's and par 5's, your gunna love being able to get the extra 30-40 yards off the tee and getting yourself in closer range of the pin so that you can use those shorter, more controlled clubs for your second/third shots, instead of long irons.

Driver - 275 carry

3 wood- 235 carry.

If you like the 3 wood, and never wish you had a driver. Keep it going.

If you want to improve, hit it further and maybe have more fun, go try out all the drivers, with all the shafts. Now is a great time to buy! End of season clearouts, and most places will be selling their DEMO clubs right now. Our demos usually sell for 35 percent less than what they were new.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
