I'm on a quest to hit the ball 300 yards and I have just ordered a Hammer driver which states 50 yards more off the tee.... while looking over the forum i saw an add for the perfect connection golf swing and it states using this swing you will hit over 300 yards.

So, thinking to myself if i get this new swing along with my hammer driver I'll be hitting close to 350 off the tee.What do you guys think??? and has anyone tried this new swing method???

I think that if you want to improve your game and drop your 20+ handicap, learn a more controlled swing, learn your irons, learn your short game then putting. If you want to do a long drive contest and that's what matters, then by all means do what you wanna do.

I played with this kid once and he drives at full force all the time... 280-290 yards... into the water on the left or the fairway on the right.

His short game stinks, his putting was so so. But he acts all huffy and puffy, at the end of the round, his score was very high.

I hit my ball at personal record of 327yds. But that's once in a while when everything "feels" perfect. I average 287yds.

However I'd have been happy at 275-280 yds as long as I can place my balls in the fairway at a good position for my next iron shot.

Right now my approach shot / iron play is most important to me. Heck, I'll even be happy with a 265yds drive as long as I position it perfectly.

So think about your golf strategy, then decide wisely and maturely.

You could also get the Whoosh! Swing trainer they are always advertising on the Golf Channel. It's "scientifically proven" in allowing you to gain 7-10 mph in swing speed...

You combine that with the above mentioned and you'll be driving par 5's in no time....

Driver: Adams Speedline F11 9.5* w/ Aldila Voodoo stiff flex shaft

Hybrid: Ping G10 22* 

Irons:Mizuno MP32's 3-PW (bought used for $189)

Wedges: Cleveland CG14 52*, 56*

Putter: An old Ram Laser...lol...but it works

Ball: Srixon Q-star

All I want to do is hit the ball 300+ yards  besides the courses i play are very open (liken a driving range) so you don't have to be accurate. I just need to know how to accomplish this goal of mine.

Thanks Ryder J,  The Momentus Speed Whoosh Golf Swing Trainer is on its way. Adding another 20-30 yards is just what the Dr. ordered .

In a month I'll be killing it about 350+ and my friends will call me " the man "

  1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHH...this thread is funny.  THE HAMMMMMMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!    Please tell me you are joking O.P.....please.  The hammer driver is a joke.  If you are not joking then I will be serious.  Infomercials are b.s.  I wouldn't listen to 80% that they say.  I don't know why it matters to you to hit it over 300 yards.  But the driver doesn't mean much at all.  And if it did, the "hammer" wouldn't help you at all.  It's a piece of junk.  If you can swing the club 115 mph and hit the sweet spot and swing on plane then you can hit it down the middle 300....if not, then worry about putting, chipping and approach shots.  Because that is way more important than a 300 yard drive....

And finally, let us not forget the perfect ball to complement all the other **** you've purchased. May introduce you to the Condor S ball..."the ball that flies too far." It even outhit the mighty Titleist Pro V1....because that's relevant.

I currently use the Perfect Plane Stack and Morad Tilt Connection swing along with a Hammer driver and twice now I've had third degree burns on my hands from the flames that appear on the shaft with the speed of my swing. Bleeding ears from sonic booms are normality at my club nowadays...

BOOM!

I'm thinking about switching out my driver for a high velocity trebuchet...

You'd have to make sure it was rule conforming. I believe there's a certain amount of lean required in the shaft of a club (hence we can't use pendulum putters) so you'd have to figure out a way to fire it on an angle. ;)

First and quite possibly the last time that I'll see the word "trebuchet" in this forum.  Well done!

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
