Amanda - 69 to 73.5
I did manage to sqeeze a 103 mph in there ... with your 43" driver! I am baffled as to how I can swing your 43" inch lady flex driver fast as (if anything faster than) my 45" driver. Perhaps the shorter length suits my swing plane ... I don't know ...
Brad's definitely got some clubhead speed. You can hear it at impact. If he can straighten out his drives a bit, he should be able to get it out there. I think the slice spin is robbing him good 20-30 meters.
As much as I tried to muscle the ball, keep my hands and body relaxed etc, I still couldn't break 73.5. Some more gym work & T-bone steaks for me before our next meeting
I find that I get most speed not when I try to, but when my technique is good. Full shoulder turn, good rhythm, staying in balance, etc. When I try to hit the hell out of the ball, I tend to lose both speed and accuracy.
Brad loves John's Wishon 2 iron hybrid - wants one to replace his 3 wood - maybe a Christmas gift!
He hit three shots with it and all three went dead straight, about 200 meters. I think that will play on most par 4's. Brad might want to consider the "1 iron" hybrid with 15 degree loft. The 2 iron hybrid is 18 degrees.
Thanks John for organising - we will have to make this a monthly thing - I like the downhill driving range - a big confidence booster
Monthly range session sounds good. It would be great if other Sydney Ozgolfers can make it next time. I'll bring my digital camera and perhaps we can get all our swings on video.
