Ready to Hit a Driver Yet?
Most people have a driver in their bag that they use even though they get very inconsistent or outright bad results from it. To determine if
you should be using a driver in your game keep track of the number of fairways you hit over the next 3 rounds.
If you can drive the ball longer than 200 yards and hit over 30% of the fairways then
you are ready to use a driver off the tee. However, if you're not driving the ball over 200 yards and not hitting 1 in 3 fairways consistently then you should seriously consider changing to a
shorter length driver (the average length of a driver is 43-45 inches long).
But, the easiest (cheapest) cure would be to use another club that you probably already have in your bag; the Strong #3 fairway wood or #3 fairway wood off the tee.
Keep track of your stats using
the shorter driver or #3 wood now, hopefully, you will find yourself hitting more fairways, have better control and distance than you would using a driver.
