Big M may think low launching swings are fundamentally flawed, but remember that Hogan was a low ball hitter too

you are taking what I said completely out of context... the OP said he hit "line drives"... to me a line drive is completely different than a low ballflight. Chances are, if you hit a driver like a missle or line drive, you might have a swing problem. Improper shaft, loft, and other things can compund such a problem, but it is likely rooted in the swing.

You may also note that I said w/o seeing his swing there was NO definate answer.

I was on a launch monitor a couple months ago. This was when I was trying to find a good driver to replace my old Snake Eyes 360cc. I had a wicked slice at that time, and according to the monitor a slower ss (about 94mph avg). My average drive was 215.

Since then I changed my swing with the driver, increased the speed and stopped the slice. I now have a Cobra LD F Speed 9.5 degree driver with a stiff flex shaft. I have what I call a great ball flight. My distance has increased to an average of 255.

The shop here in Monterey doesn't measure swing speed, but it does measure ball speed. I have a ball speed of 135mph average. This last weekend I tried the Bridgestone B330S and Titleist ProV1. My drives increased in distance, stayed amazingly straight, and flew true.

I was amazed with the results. If there is a way to increase my distance.....I am not completely sure I want to! lol I am happy to be straight, let alone as far as I am getting now.

      Wow that was disingenuous. Like, let’s ignore that golfers actually rotate. It isn’t all side bend. Has incorrect or excessive side bend hurt golfers sure. In no way are golfers taught to just fling their hips towards the target. To basically claim it’s him versus this evil golf instruction industry is just disingenuous.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      I'm starting to move with some speed and confidence. Carried the fairway bunker 225 yards out on the 17th yesterday fairly comfortably. I don't think it was a one off drive either. Pretty much back to game speed. On another note it doesn't seem like my pelvis is nearly as thrusty compared to a this time last year. I hope I'm judging that correctly. It's an ongoing battle.
