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?

yep...LOL but was hoping to pick up the ball a few more hundred yard down the fairway!!

I can't remotely imagine why someone who can drive 275+ consistently would tamper with their swing to play one hole.

You know us golfers..always tinkering..

Also If I can find a little more elevation, I may find more yardage.

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

    • Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.
    • Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. 
    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.  
    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
