Drive Golf Performance Blog. Sunday, 15 March 2015. How to Gain 30 Extra Yards in 30 Minutes. CM came along yesterday looking to be fitted for a driver. He mentioned that a frequent shot of his was high spinning and left to right. This being a typical poor shot. The first thing that was looked at was the strike point in the face. 11 yards more carry and 13 yards more overall. To change the angle of attack CM teed the ball higher, placed the club a couple of inches behind the ball, added a slight more til...

Drive Golf Performance Blog. Thursday, 6 February 2014. Longer Drives - Lessons from the Long Drive Tour. Here's a slow motion video of Jason Zuback - 5 time World Long Drive Champion. Lets have a look at some of his swing characteristics which lead to long drives. 2 The left heel lifts in the backswing - it helps give a bigger turn, the replanting of the heel during the transition can be a great cue for proper weight shift. Jack Nicklaus was famous for his flying elbow - look how far he used to hit it!

Drive Golf Performance Blog. Thursday, 28 August 2014. The Importance of Checking Iron Lofts and Lies. A golfer came along last week looking to check the lofts and the lies of his iron set.

The results are in the table below. Here's a good photo illustrating the effect of an improper lie at impact. Too upright, ...

0to300golf: The Effect of Friction on Loft and Spin
http://0to300golf.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-effect-of-friction-on-loft-and-spin.html
Drive Golf Performance Blog. Monday, 22 December 2014. The Effect of Friction on Loft and Spin. Friction has a big roll in spin generation particularly with irons. If there is less friction then there is less spin. This is the infamous 'flyer' that occurs with irons where the ball goes much further then expected. Also the tee shot that dips when the driver face is wet is also caused by less friction. An example of a wet grassy lie that leads to flyers. Below are the results from the test. Looking at the ...

Drive Golf Performance Blog. Wednesday, 11 September 2013. 2005 Driver Vs 2013 Driver. A valid question is how much better is today's equipment in comparison to equipment from a few years ago? Equipment companies are always promising more distance e.g. 17 more yards and release new drivers every year or every second year. Recently I compared both using a Trackman Launch Monitor. Here are the results. Distance from target (ft). The specifications of each club are as follows. A reason behind the increased ...

Drive Golf Performance Blog. Thursday, 26 June 2014. What if I pick the wrong club? Imagine yourself 160 yards out from the flag, which is a normal 7 iron for you. You reach for the seven iron but then a couple of different thoughts enter your head, wind seems to be helping, air is a bit warmer, you're feeling a bit stronger then normal and you think is 8 enough? So let's investigate, is 7 always the right club? Will 8 be always too little? Is 6 always too much? Here are the results. Speed and Ball Speed...
