Everyone wants to hit the ball further, and it seems like every club manufacturer is always promoting some new driver technology that increases distance.Ā But how much distance has actually been gained by improvedĀ club technology?
I stumbled upon this Youtube video, done by the Discovery Channel in St Andrews, that looked at the myth of golf club technology.
Don’t be tricked into purchasing the latest distance driver from Taylormade or Callaway or whoever. As you can see from the video, it really doesn’t matter what golf clubs you play, they all go roughly the same distance, but it’s the improvements in golf ball technology over the years that has made the biggest difference in hitting the ball further. The new clubs might be slightly more forgiving, but they aren’t going to help you hit the ball further. Use your money to truly improve your game by taking some lessons.
