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

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
