Thats interesting..I thought my swing speed was slower than that for my Driver. This is interesting though...because I never shoot anything other than 5 at 175yds. I know within 175 and around, I can put a little on or take alittle off to get my ball to work for me. Thanks for the link

I have...I already tee the ball up 1.5" where half of the ball is above my clubhead....any higher and I fear I would sky it.

Well, that would get you more elevation, no?

Try putting your left hanf thumb facing 1 o'clock and your right hand thumb facing 11 o'clock.. Not only will this help keep your drives dead strait, but it will give you a longer more consistent drive because this hand placement (11, 1 o'clock) helps keep the driver face on plain..

My driver is last years 10.5* TM Burner with stock "S" shaft, Top-Flight Gamer ball, I carry the ball 275+, my swing speed is 90+. ( I have no problems getting my long irons or 3&5 elevated.)

try teeing it up about a 1/4 inch higher

    • Ehh, it was kinda bad yesterday. Especially from the European side.  Min Woo Lee, Adam Scott, Sungjae, and Bezuidenhout combined for 4 birdies yesterday... Theegala wasn't good from the US side either.
    • Yah, a little over the top barking behind SS's back and walking away before he putted out (that is straight up poor form IMO), etc. Seems to be trying to punch above his weight class. But then on the same note it's hard to stay awake for a couple of hours of telecast outside of this no? The golf is not bad but there's no soul and that's not the player's fault.  I read something about him 'blaming the Canadian crowd' for their Day 1 plight but that also seems to be a bit of a writer's distortion of what he said as to me it seems he is simply asking the crowds to get a bit more involved. That's fair. Ya' know, the positive, loud energy these type of events need and feed off of. My two cents.  
    • Until the International team does something… I don't know about "waste of time" and the surrounding area benefits economically, the players might enjoy it… etc. But it's not super interesting.
    • I’ll try to phrase this very carefully. Is there a case to be made that the Presidents Cup is a waste of everyone’s time?
