I love these questions.

I drive a Volkswagen Jetta and it handles nicely with good gas mileage. Should I lower it and change the tires and supercharge it?

What are you looking for? More distance? Less height? More height? Less distance? More control? Lower scores? A date with Scarlett Johansen?

To optimize driver distance, you need a launch monitor. Some folks will tell you they're snake oil, I'll tell you that watching ball flight tells you nothing about spin and less about ball speed.

Supasta, give me your ball speed, your launch angle, and your spin rate, and I'll tell you if there's more distance to be had. If I can get your clubhead speed as well, you may find a simple driver change = more distance.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
