Have You Got The Balls For The Job?
You are hitting the golf ball further than you ever have, or you will be if you are playing with the correct driver loft and golf ball for your swing. Frankly, this is a good thing. I want to see us all enjoying our golf more.
In 1995 on the PGA tour, the average Driving distance was 265 yards, with big hitters like John Daly still not averaging past 300 yards. Now the tour average is 290 yards and the big hitters are topping 320 yards on AVERAGE.
While the big headed, high MOI, hot COR 460cc geometric Drivers grab all the attention, the golf ball and the white-coated engineers concerned with ball flight, launch angles and spin rates dont seem to get enough publicity.
But PGA tour stats are one thing. Think about your game. Do you boom the driver further today than you did in 1997 or 2000? Even several years older, you should.
And, given that you dont have to buy new equipment to achieve some of the improvements, and just thinking about your golf ball offers you the chance of extra yards, shorter approach shots and more fun; I cant help thinking that I should be talking to more of you about your golf balls.
Standing on the Tee this weekend, look at your golf ball and think about it.
The Srixon AD333 was designed with a very specific dimple layout to improve aerodynamics and increase the hang time of the golf ball.
