Driver Length Test

SuperStroke
Any hints when this video might drop?
 
The longest tee ball shots I've ever struck were with a 48" shafted driver. The negative to such a long shaft was that the swing timing required to strike straight shots with it was too different from all the other clubs within the bag.

I second this. Between this, and the swingweight change, it’s incredibly foreign feeling at first. You go to transition and if you at all get quick, just start looking fore right.

I was just going to ask if you used the same shaft. will be interesting. I had a 48 inch driver for a bit about 10 years ago when I did some long drive stuff. For me it equaled about 10 MPH more ball speed and about 6-7 MPH club head speed when swung well. When not on, I was actually slower with it. It takes some practice to get used to moving that much length..

Yup. When I teach speed, it’s all about “cracking the whip”.

I’ve coached many sports now and every single speed move made by a human is about maximizing levers and teaching them to “crack a whip”.

Super simple in concept. So hard to make work.

Huh?

We actually agree on something? Carry on good sir.
 
All I could think when swinging this was don’t hit the ceiling 😂
 
44.5” is the magic length fro. The various videos and readings I’ve done. It is apparently the perfect match of consistency and distance.
