Add 10-40 Yards To Any Golf Ball In Your Bag.
I created this report to help golfers of all abilities, but especially inconsistent or golfers with higher handicap indexes, optimize their distance off the tee in 2022. Legendary
Hall of Fame golfer Byron Nelson once stated that it is "hard
to beat a long straight driver
of the ball" and he was right. That philosophy served Byron well,
especially in
1945, when he won 11 PGA tournaments in a row. Take that Jack,
Tiger, & Rory! Getting every ounce of distance from your available swing speed, whether it is 75 or 120 mph is critical if you are to optimize your distance and your scores. Just witness the dominance of Major Championship winners Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth on Tour. Not to mention the awesome power of long hitting Brooks Koepka with his recent breakthrough wins at the U.S. Open and PGA. Rory Mcilroy and Open Champ Henrik Stenson also "leave nothing in the bag" when they tee off. They blast it long and straight. Maximizing your distance off the tee will allow you to hit the shortest irons or hybrid clubs into greens and these clubs are more forgiving and accurate. This will result in more par or birdie opportunities. And even if a bogey is a good score for you on any given hole at this point in your game development, long straight tee shots will enhance your chances of playing bogey golf, with the occasional par or birdie thrown in. Those are the holes and total scores that keep you coming back to the course to have another crack at a breakthrough round, whether it be sub 100, 90, 80, or 70! So let's get you More Distance... The average driver swing speed for the recreational golfer is about 88 mph. For the PGA Tour pro, that number is about 112 mph. But swing speed is just part of the formula for maximum distance. You see, Tour professionals maximize their distance because they consistently do something that the average player fails to do. They consistently hit the center of the club face. This maximizes the transfer of momentum from the club face to the golf ball. This results in a golfer�s best opportunity to maximize distance for his or her given swing speed. On the PGA Tour, this metric is called Total Distance Efficiency (TDE). It is simply the distance a golfer hits the golf ball divided by their average swing speed. In other words, golfers with higher TDE�s maximize their distance for their individual swing speeds. A few of
the golfers on the PGA Tour with the highest TDE�s are
Masters and Open champs Phil
Mickelson and Zach Johnson, Players Championship winner
Rickie Fowler, and PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas (6 wins
in 2017-2018 & a 59!). Also right up there is Spanish phenom
Jon Rahm, a 2 time winner in 2017-2018 and top 5 player in the
world. Not a bad fivesome, right? There�s 69 PGA Tour wins between
the six including 8 majors, a barrel of WGC (World Golf Championship)
events, not to mention a ton of other wins around the world. To help illustrate TDE, imagine chopping firewood with splitting wedges and a sledgehammer (right image). A blow to the center of the wedge head will explode through the log, often splitting the wood with 1 blow. That is optimal momentum transfer from the hammer head to the wedge. However an off-center blow will result in a tilted or flying splitting wedge. That�s poor momentum transfer and wasted energy. You�ll be there all day flailing away with blistered hands and a sore back to show for your efforts. So the players on Tour with the highest Total Driver Efficiency maximize their distance by smashing the ball on the center of the club face. Yet Recreational Golfers Impact The Driver Face Everywhere! And the result is poor distance and lousy direction/spin control (pushes, pulls, slices, hooks, etc�). The club faces of today's drivers can be performance mapped in regards to how fast the ball comes off the face when struck in different regions. The differences in ball speed and therefore distance are staggering depending on where the ball impacts the face. So there's the 1st piece of the puzzle in maximizing your driver distance for your swing speed, and easily gaining 10-40 yards. Let's look at a map of the fast and slow regions of the face:
The "sweet spot" in green is the region where ball speed is maximized because the maximum trampoline effect of the face is centralized in that region. When a ball is meets the sweet spot, the ball speed robbing effects of side spin (slice, hook, etc...) are also reduced. Hence, the momentum transfer from the face to the ball is most efficient in this region. Some drivers have a "hot spot" (red) which further reduces spin due to being higher on the face. This impact region can give a little turbo boost to the golf ball and further increase distance, though a golfer's goal should be to repeatedly slam the sweet spot as that leads to consistent strikes across all clubs (driver to wedge). Note the grey regions, and the dreaded grey X death region. In these areas the ball speed is dramatically reduced as is back and side spin control. The absolute worst place to impact the face is low and near the hosel (heel). You'll have short drives with excessive spin, plus you are training yourself to shank the irons! Now let's relate these different regions to loss of ball speed and therefore distance. Again, impacting the ball on the heel of the club has a devastating effect on your distance:
Given that 1 mph ball speed = roughly 3 yds of distance, the poor fellow who impacts the ball low and on the heel is losing ~27 yards of driving distance! What's more, he is most likely inconsistent with his contact locations which makes his side spin (slice or hook) unpredictable. It all ads up to short inconsistent driving for his swing speed and higher scores. Here's Some Help... Golf drivers these days are incredible with huge, deep faces, perimeter weighting, generous lofts, and tuned shafts. If a golfer compresses the ball on the dead center of the face (or the hot spot), then he or she can take full advantage of all this technology. Impact on the dead center of the face can add 10-40 yards vs. a toe or heel hit for 2 swings of the identical swing speed. And these scattered impacts combined with excessive side spin further reduce your distance. It's a "lose-lose" situation. And this is true regardless of what ball you use. But direct central impact can be a difficult task especially for recreational golfers. The good news is that many mishits are actually caused before the club is even swung. So let's look at a simple cause of mishits that no one ever points out, and my solution. When a golfer addresses the ball, traditional practice is to place the club head directly behind the ball when the clubhead is sitting on the ground. In addition, most manufacturers and instructors recommend that about 1/2 the ball be above the top of the club face at address. OK, sounds logical, right? However, through impact, centrifugal force is straightening the arms outwards! Without a compensating move by the golfer, that once centered club face will now be impacting the ball more toward the heel of the driver. We took the following photos out in our Swing Lab. Take a look at the driver below to study the relationship between set-up and impact.
That ball above right is not on the sweet spot in the impact condition. A variety of flight issues will occur and the golfer will lose loads of distance as the slingshot effect of the club face is neutralized. What a shame. You can demonstrate this yourself without even swinging the club. Set the club head behind the ball on the ground, raise the arms to the impact position, and look at where it aligns with the clubface. The ball is now aligned with the heel of the club! That is where you will impact the driver unless you make a compensating move to back up with the body and/or arms to realign the clubface. In a 1/2 second downswing, this won't happen, at least not consistently. This is why many pro golfers, especially the one's with high Total Driver Efficiency (TDE) per above, address the driver on the outer 3rd of the clubface. At impact, they will be aligned dead center to take full advantage of the sling shot effect of the driver face. As stated, this can mean 10-40 more yards depending on your swing speed. It will also instantly improve the direction of your shots. Take a look:
Now, let's take a look at the real world alignment of one of the best golfers on the PGA Tour, who also happens to have very high TDE. Here's Masters and Open Championship winner Zach Johnson at address and impact:
This guy
really centers the driver at impact and gets the most out of
his swing speed. Though he is not big in stature,
he maximizes the compression of the ball and averages 290 yards
off the tee. Wow!
So just improving your impact alignment can increase your TDE and jump your distances dramatically on the order of 10-40 yards! But alignment is just part of the equation for maximium distance. The pros you watch on TV have a few more tricks up their sleeve that I had the privilege of learning during my interaction with some of the finest players on the planet. As a Golf Ball Design Engineer, I spent many years working for the most prestigious golf equipment company in the world designing golf balls for professional and recreational golfers like yourself. This afforded me the opportunity to observe many of the best golfers in the world up close, striking golf ball after golf ball, with laser-like precision and power. After watching and analyzing the swings of 100's of pro golfers I discovered the secret, the common denominator, or what I call The Key to a reliable, repeating golf swing. I started practicing using The Key and instantly saw a dramatic improvement in my ball striking. The ball was now going where the club face had pointed at address...toward the target! My impacts across my clubs sounded like gun shots and my scores dropped dramatically. It was also as if my golf swing was now on auto pilot. I crashed through the 80 scoring barrier and now enjoy a low single digit handicap. In fact, I started hitting the ball so hard I actually collapsed the face of my driver (see image below). 
The impact footprint on my driver club (and similar marks on my irons) are a result of repetitive impacts on the center of the club face. In other words, they are the result of a true repeating golf swing. I will also note that my swing speed is quite moderate, but The Key enables me to apply every bit of it to the ball for explosive distance with no wasted effort. Before I discovered The Key To A Repeating Golf Swing and developed the simple swing method to fully utilize it, my club face contact was erratic (and so were my scores). In all my years of playing golf, I have concluded that a golfer can not break 80 without a repeating golf swing. It does not have to be perfect, but it must be reproducible. When a repeating swing takes form, a whole new level of satisfaction results as the golfer is now able to play the game the way it was intended. Let
me teach you the simple swing that created
The testimonials have been astounding and it gives me great pleasure to share my experience with eager, serious golfers.
