obsess about it, I would say no, but if you beilieve you should be hitting it farther then you are, check on your mechanics. Most all players have the physical talent to average over 250, but yet the average they had in that article was around 200. WHen you have better mechanics, you have more solid impact, when you have better impact you hit it longer, more accurate, and would more then likely have better impact for short shots as well. You saw on those stats how the 10 and under had better stats across the board and one of those was longer drives. I would guarentee that 5 handicaps hit it longer then 10 hdcps, scratch will average longer then 5, +2 will average longer then scratch, etc... do they swing harder, no they swing more effecient with better allingments and hit the ball farther. I played with a guy who was in his 50's, swung up to 10, swung easy and plays to scratch. In the nine holes I played with him not one drive was shorter then 260, now he will not hit 300 yarders but if you saw his swing you would gain an understanding of how easy you can swing and still hit it pretty far. If I am hitting it short I wonder what is wrong with my mechanics becuase I am leaking power somewhere,

I should be hitting it farther then 230, right ricky
