Re: driver

Apparently 44" is the standard on Tour, but most 'off the rack' sets have drivers @ 45".

I've currently got 3 drivers to test when the thaw comes - a 43.5, a 44, and a 44.5.

I played last year with a 45", and although distance was fantastic (some drives ~280yds) control was spotty at best. I think I was lucky to hit 30% of fairways in a round.

My expectation is that I'll have great control with the 43.5, and decent control with the 44.5.

I'm curious to see what kind of distance I'll get with an inch in variation.

I'll post the results if you like.

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.
