I cannot swing any harder (reliably) my current club is the tour edge bazooka 320j and I am happy with it but would like some more yards off the tee ,my avg right now is 265 if everything comes together on one drive ,it is around 300 . so what do i need to do to get the 265 closer to the 300 thanks

One of three things (likely a combination of all three):

1) swing faster 2) make better contact 3) optimize launch conditions

that worked for me. He actually suggested I take an inch off the driver. This would help me hit more of a draw shot (longer) and be a lot more consistent. The other thing he said is I might lose a few yards. Decided consistent was better then worrying about the extra 10 yds.

Well he was wrong on one item. I know swing faster because I don't have the problem with Hooks and slices and are more consistent. I gained 5-10 yds instead of losing them.
