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

    • Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.
    • I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?
    • The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous 
    • I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.
    • Hatton hit 18 GIR.  That's incredible.   Rory's tee shot on #8 reminds me of a TV show, Get Smart, that I enjoyed watching as a kid.  The protagonist would often say "missed me by that much."  Rory missed avoiding the bunker by that much.
