The Easiest Driver to Hit is the Longest Driver

As you can imagine I still get so many emails asking, what’s the longest driver you sell, or what’s the hottest driver on the market you have. Many average golfers and slower swingers and even faster swingers are always looking for what is dubbed “the longest driver“. If there was such a thing as the longest driver there would only be one driver everyone would be buying.  Again this goes back to the post I made last year called Optimal Distance = The Right Club plus Perfect Impact. In otherwords, getting the right club to create the best smash factor for you.  To review,  I had shown how lady JLPGA golfers who swing with similar speeds to average men golfers in Japan generate far more distance like the example below:

Head Speed      Back Spin      Launch Angle      Total Distance
Amateur 91.02mph 4109 17.8* 205.3y
Erina Hara PRGR 90.35mph 1964 15.4* 234.5y

Last fall, Golf Digest asked several tour players to take THREE shots with their driver marked with impact tape. In many cases, those three shots look like one shot on the tape showing just how good pros are at consistently striking the sweet spot of their driver. For many average golfers, hitting the sweet spot with pure and square impact is the hardest task in golf. It doesn’t matter what driver a player is using if he or she cannot hit the sweet spot on a regular basis. While nothing beats practice and training, getting the right club and shaft especially for a specific players level will help make things easier. So when people email me asking what the longest driver is the first thing I do is tell them there isn’t one but I can help them discover what might be the easiest driver for them to hit square and consistent.

    We hear often at Sweet Spot Golf where we make clubs exclusively for the women’s market that our aerodynamic design that has a target alignment system built into the inherent design of the clubs help women golfers hit the ball not only further but they have also been reporting that they hit the ball straighter. Our center of gravity back and the perimeter weighting system help the women players with slower swing speeds keep the face of the club more steady through impact and as a result they are attaining more distance.
