I eat fish so I can hit the ball all the way to the moon.

I'm trying titleist. I almost hit it as far as you anyway.

That wasn't the goal here - using way too long a club can cause youngsters to swing too flat at a time when habits both good and bad can be ingrained. I was just trying to put it out there quietly. He's obviously a talented little golfer and i'd bet he's swinging better than the vast majority of us in here already LOL.

There's a really good article here. Tho it goes to extremes there's some nice info in there

And do your child a favor: Don't buy a longer driver hoping your kid will eventually grow into it. Even worse, many kids -- and their parents -- equate a longer driver with longer drives. But Dan Van Horn, the founder of U.S. Kids Golf and the developer of the U.S. Kids measuring system, says that couldn't be farther from the truth.
"A driver that's longer than two inches below the sternum encourages improper technique and slower hand speed," said Van Horn, whose company offers the most comprehensive fitting system among all junior golf equipment manufacturers. "And these early mistakes are tough to correct."
Miraflor understands that buying a new driver every time your child grows can become a financial issue.
"If they're struggling to swing with a driver that's a bit too long, it's okay to have them choke down on the grip," said Miraflor. "But a junior should never have to choke more than two or three inches down. At that point, the driver is too long."



Sorry to get technical Darbs :D
