The furthest I've ever hit a ball is 335 and I have tremendous testicles for a man my age.

Hey where do you play near Cleveland?

Are you interested in playing golf with him or seeing his tremendous testicles?

Just trying to clarify....

Nope, just be interesting if I may have seen him before or something.

Impressively quick answer! 3 minutes between our posts! I don't think you thought it was as funny as I did though.

Monday I played I round of golf with some newbies, allways like to do so, hole 5 is a 400 yds par 4 and I just missed a brirdie, they were impressed .... next hole is a 550 yds par 5 with the widest faiway you can imagine, I took out my fun 6 degr. driver with 48" shaft and hit it almost pure, it went, went, went .... I picked up the tee and asked if it had landed..... don't know what happened, but it landed way over 450 yds out ......

You seem to be serious. You also seem to be very keen on impressing other people. Problem is, when you post this sort of nonsense, noone will ever treat anything you say seriously. You did not fly the ball 450 yards. What makes it obvious that you're kidding yourself is the attitude......You drive, casually pick up your tee and ask your playing partners if the ball has landed yet. Yeah, right. And I've never seen the entire membership of a golf club hanging around there at the same time. 800?? You're full of it.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Shanks, what kind of SS would Gerald have had to hit this explosion of a drive? 160 mph?

179 with a 0.7 degree driver in theory, but more practically 174 with a 2.6 degree driver. 176 is the world record if I recall correctly.

Piece of cake!especially when you're over 50.The joints really loosen up after a certain age.

Nope. It collided with Mark McGwire's 62nd home run from 1998 (which still hasn't landed), launching it over to Mt. Everest where Jack Hamm was attempting to hit a ball over the world biggest mountain. Those two golf balls smashed into eachother and were obliterated upon travelling through the Earth's atmosphere on their return from space.

C'mon. You didn't hit the ball 450 yards. A 48 inch shaft and 6* of loft doesn't give you a hundred extra yards, or whatever you claimed.

I played #11 at The Nursery yesterday from the "Par 6" tee. Listed at 782 yards.

Driver, Fybrid, Wedge (from 122) to pin high. Knowing the approach yardage, and that a full purely struck Fybrid goes 260 (tested it 2 weeks ago - 260 max), it looks like I drove that ball an even 400 yards. What? Look at the hole layout. I cut off almost 100 yards by starting the ball over the trees on the right side and just flying the zig zag fairway. When anyone asks what my longest drives was this year, I'll say 400 though, just to be safe.

OMG, so it did finally land!!? After I read your first post I immediately went out and bought a 3 degree driver with a 60" shaft. I didn't pull it out on the front nine, I mainly used my 9 and 9.5 degree, used my 10 degree on one hole I think, but anyway, I was saving it for the right time. I get up to number 10 and there are about 600 people standing around the tee box. I knew it was time. I pull it out of the bag. One of the guys I was playing with said, "OMFG you have to be pro to hit that". I said shut up b!tch and enjoy the ride. I hit it almost pure and it went and went. I picked up my tee and then said, "if I hit a satellite I hope I get a good kick" and then flipped my broken tee in some guys face. Another guy I was playing with said something about how I must be the longest hitter on earth. I took a big drink of beer and spit it in his face. Everyone picked me up and passed me around on their shoulders. It landed about 600 yards. It was a 185 yard par 3 but no one cared.

We'll just let Feherty handle this one.. just substitute 300 for 450 in this case.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.

      Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?

      It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.
