He hit the first one pretty good, I was really surprise cause that is hard to do, and told him to do it again and let me video it. He hit ~4 in a row, 175-200yards.

I had the dog legs to the right down pat. If they dog legged to the left I was in trouble. Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Back in the day I had (still have them) some Ping Eye 2 clubs with the real persimmon wood driver and 3 wood, tour sized not this oversized monsters of today. I could hit the 3 wood 260-285 consistently. I could knock on 300 200 with the driver if I ever hit it straight....could not hit that club worth nothing... Edit...typo on driver distance. 200 was my best with my driver. More loft and backspin with 3 wood helped with distance greatly. Last edited by straycat; 07/21/19 09:01 PM.

Sure, there are some exaggerations, but to say everyone does it by 20% is laughable. That would mean a guy claiming he hits it 280 would really go 220. That’s an absurd difference.

I'm a leftie. It would go around 200 yards straight down the middle, then take a sharp slice to the left, cross 2-3 more fairways, going another 200 yards.

I’m cool with it since haven’t even held a golf club in 12 years and was hoping to keep it under 150.
