How could Speith add 10 yards to his driver ?

[jbishop15]

maybe unfold his arm a bit and give him more leverage.

yet I dont see spite wanting to hit it hard from the tee. he seams in control a lot.

Speith: 292 yards, 63% FIR, 68% GIR

Day: 314 yards, 54% FIR, 70% GIR

Day is 9% less accurate (on 22 less drives), and yet he hits slightly more greens than Spieth. His control isn't giving him an edge over his peers, at least not at the top of the pyramid.

Right which is why @iacas likes to point out that distance is a form of accuracy.

Final stats show Day was on average 25 yards longer and only 2% less accurate on driving distance and accuracy.   25 yards is over two clubs less on the 2nd shot which is huge for these guys and explains why Day hit more GIR and gained more strokes putting than Spieth.
