In this video, you’ll discover the driver distance secrets that the manufacturers don’t want to tell you.
So, before you go out and buy the newest $500 driver, realize that the people recommending the club are doing their jobs.
They’re making it sound like the only reason you’re struggling is because you don’t have this new shiny, super expensive driver.
Ask yourself…
Will a $500, $700, or even a $1000 make you a better driver?
Is the latest club that’s featured in TV commercials going to have you bombing 310 yard drives?
Just in case you’re thinking…
“Well, maybe”…
Pump the brakes because the miracle driver doesn’t exist.
In fact, I bought a $100 used driver around 6 years ago…
And I prefer it over any of the new, expensive drivers because it’s the right driver for me.
So, here’s the first of the driver distance secrets…
You need to realize that all the new drivers by the top brands are equally “hot.”
What I mean by this is that all the top drivers have a .83 COR (essentially if you throw a ball 100mph at the sweet spot of the driver, it’ll come back at 83 mph).
If the COR exceeds .83, then the driver is illegal.
But, if all the top drivers have the same COR, that doesn’t mean you won’t find a driver that performs better for you.
There are several different factors that affect which club is best for you…
- Swing speed
- Launch angle
- Club head consistency
Swing speed
In general, the lighter the club, the faster you’ll be able to swing.
Also, the longer the club the faster your swing speed.
Of course, it’s not all good news; the longer the club, the more inconsistent you’ll be.
If you can, try different length drivers and if you can control the longer shaft, then by all means, stick with a longer shaft.
Launch angle
The weight of the shaft can affect your launch angle.
Players with a slower swing speed will benefit from a lighter shaft due to a higher launch angle.
However, players with a faster swing speed can benefit from a tad bit heavier shaft and a lower launch angle.
So make sure you test out different shafts before you throw down tons of cash.
Heck, you can even lose distance by buying a $1000 shaft if it’s not right for you swing.
Consistency
Now, newer drivers can have some advantages in consistency.
New materials and placing weight in different areas of the club can improve your consistency by essentially increasing the area of the club that will result in a solid hit (i.e. the driver can be more forgiving).
Conclusion
Before you rush out and buy the latest and greatest driver, go get fit and test a bunch of drivers to see which is best for your swing.
Line up a bunch of drivers (even used ones) and if you don’t love the driver after a few swings, move on to the next one.
You may be surprised that, after understanding the driver distance secrets above, the right driver for you isn’t the most expensive.
Watch now to get the whole truth!
