Who's Longer: Bubba or Daly?

[goodguy96]

Who is longer  Off the Tee? John Daly or Bubba Watson? personal I think John Daly is Still longer then Bubba off the Tee even though He`s Much Older then Bubba, But  John Daly Lacks all the other importent parts of the game Like, Putting, greens in Reg, and most importently Consistency...... But when he`s playing good he`s the funnest Guy To watch on Tour!

Very True..... Thanks for posting the Stats.... But How about john Dalys longest drive ever VS Bubba`s Longest drive?

I suspect that both golfers in their prime with the same level of equipment would be very close in max. distance but I would give the edge to Bubba Watson.  He seems to have extraordinary athleticism and flexibility.

But do you think Bubba will be able to keep up that swing In to his 40`s? Bubba & John`s Swings pretty much Scream Chiropractor.... But only time will tell.

bubba wins. here's a list of the longest balls since 1992 . bubba ranks 121 with a 402 yard drive in 2007. daly is 161 with a 399 yard drive in 2005. that article doesn't assume the last few years, and since then, bubba has hit a 415 yard drive. going back further than 1992 would be ridiculous. he won the pga championship in 91 and the open in 95. his "prime" years are included, and advances in technology would suggest that his longest drive probably would've been in this decade.
