Re: Driver distance?

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I think he should be hitting a driver around 235/240m. I know his swing speed is on the low side but he always stays in control and ALWAYS hits the fairway. He averages 12 or 13 fairways with his 3-wood. His swing is as good as I've seen.

He currently plays off a 2 and a seriously good 2 as well. Where he struggles is the long par 4's, say 380-400m. Given he hits a 3 wood 210, he's left an almighty distance left. Currently he plays the smart way, he takes a club to hit short of the green and any trouble around there and takes hit 64 degree wedge and chips and putts!

If he could hit 2 clubs less on par 4's, I'd put money on that he'd make 3 or 4 birdies a round and get under scratch.

Thanks guys for the assurance! I love this forum.
