i was simply stating that there are people who can hit as far as they claim and not get the usual answer of being called a liar. my distances Driver:280+ 3 Wood:270 have a pic to prove 3 iron:250 4:225 5:215 6:200 7:190 8:180 9:not using at the moment Pw:150 Wedges 56/60 120 max on both dont really use them outside of 100

Look up a guy called Gorilla James on youtube. He is a very long hitter and his posts are crazy distances on simulators and on courses. He also uploads vlogs when he plays with the same people and he frequently drives par 4s i.e 340 yard par 4 he drives onto the green! The guys a monster literally he works out all the time and this shows if your born with height of 5'10 or over and put a lot of time into the game and at the gym the it becomes very easy

concentrating is hard for me as well, hence whenever im at the range or on the course i listen to music. This helps my relax when i play and have seen a vast improvement in my game because before i used to over think all the time and couldnt let things go if i hit bad shots and since listening to music has completely changed my game from every aspect. Just try a round with music and its the best because it helps you relax and then this leads to a good tempo etc swinging smooth. Give it a try.

all down to you the player. If they feel good use them but i recommend you try out a few different types before you make up your mind good luck!

ive been going it to the range a lot lately. My pro suggested i hit the range everyday for 2 weeks and hit at least 100 balls a day, following this advice everything is going really well especially now im used to the new grip I hit my mid and high irons the same distances and new replicate certain shots at certain distances for instance at the range today my 8,9 iron were going past the 170 yard marker, yet when it comes to a 6 iron i can barely seem to get to roll past 180/190 given my recent boost in confidence and distance which all stem from the altered grip.

yes i think i will have to use and x stiff driver and a lower loft because my spin rate is high etc on Thursday im going to a demo day and i am going to use and x stiff driver, my pro recommended that i book a club fitting but there wasn't any spaces. I dont know how fast my swing speed the only club i have some numbers is on my 3 wood: the red ones are from my callaway x-hot fairway and the blue are various different ones and they were going into a water hazard on the left side of the course on the sim. I dont know how fast my ss is but 120 is really fast and my slow and controlled tempo swing makes my 7 iron go that far! im very surprised that changing a grip could make such a difference to my game!

I expect my distances to up from what i put before because i've finally changed my grip following advice from my pro, i had a very open grip before right would wrap under the left one causing a hook etc. Now i have changed my grip unbelievable! i used only my 7 iron purely because i was hitting the longest i ever hit 90% of all my shots hitting the back of the range around 220 on the left side of the range. I was hitting a strong/slight fade on most shots and they were carry around 180/190 and was getting a lot of roll. This was a slow controlled tempo swing some much so i had people watching me hit e.g i had headphones on so they though i couldn't hear them the comments were great. Will update all clubs again soon for now 7iron is between 180-190 carry on a slow smooth tempo swing. Will be interesting to see other carry distances improve. At the range everyday for at least 2 weeks that what my pro has recommended for me and what a change just 2 days in!

5 iron: 195 not 19 LOL

Carry sw:110 pw:135 9:145 8:155 7:165 6:180 5:19 3-wood:255 Driver:270+ The top red part is my new 3 wood, the blue part were various different makes that went into a water hazard insert facepalm!

i found my 3 wood numbers the callaway are the red top part, the blue various different makes the distances are lower because i was hitting into a water hazard on the left of course!

that*

does it not get expense when you do because i asked whether i could try a driver with an x-stiff flex but they dont stock them they have to be ordered

Advice Needed Again! This time its to do with the driver. Im very inconsistent with my driver because i dont really like using it, The pro i have lessons with said i should be getting around 270 carry driver and around 240 with a 3 wood but on my 3 wood fitting my carry distance 255 on avg was higher than expected so i have upscaled my carry distance by 15 yards. I think my carry distance with my driver should be around 285 carry because i know i can hit it when i really connect with the ball. I was a 10.5 callaway x hot stiff and it was ballooning up in the air like going into orbit and on the screen the flight was going off the screen in height and then dropping back down. My launch angles were similar to my 3 wood ones so around 17-20 He also told me that my spin was ridiculous it was ranging from anywhere from 5000-7000 my swing speed was also measured and its around 110-115 on average ball speed was faster than my 3 wood was told at the time it was past 165 He recommended that based on the numbers i lower the degree on my driver in the future and he also said i should consider thinking about an x-stiff shaft Was wondering whether anyone can shed some light on the numbers and also give some info on x-stiff shaft im wary of getting fitted for all this new stuff because ive been told by the fitter it can get very expense. I have booked a lesson for tomorrow and i will be using my driver the lesson to see what i can improve on.

i do appreciate that it takes months to become pro and i may have under estimated the amount of time it takes to hone certain areas of the game! but im am serious about wanting to become a pro or even a tour player if i can make it everyone has a dream

Thanks for the advice when i have next lesson i will be sure to get a recording of my swing to post up on here my next lesson is the 23rd so its not that far away.
