![]() ![]() And secondly and the most satisfying is it has given my whole golf game in particular my shots from scoring range (100 yards and closer to the green) pure control with my centered balance. The first is that it has increased my ball flight carry by 10% in only a few weeks. It has done two very important things with my golf. "I wanted to send you a big thanks to your 5 Keys to Distance program. After reading The Five Keys to Distance and practicing your drills for a few months I now know I was wrong on all counts! Your methods are pure genius!" JM Nor did I believe I could apply the concepts involved in the full swing to every part of my game with ease and immediate results. Nor did I believe it was even possible to will myself into “the zone” and, potentially, stay there for long periods in spite of the chaos going on around me. "Eric - After the dozens of lessons I have had from accomplished PGA pros and the hundreds of hours I have spent practicing my swing I did not believe I would ever be able to overcome my obsession with the mechanics of the swing. I have been struggling for years with hitting from the top and now after watching just a couple of videos I have very clear idea of how to finally overcome it. I have countless books and videos on golf instruction but you are the first person to explain these principles so clearly. Journey to the Worlds 2012 (see the whole process) Please leave a comment and share with friends. I’m excited to see what this next year will bring. The new contract with Golf Channel (read the LDA Press Release here), is good for long drive, and ultimately good for the game of golf. Sports on the edge force innovation and innovation that is good for the game. But the weight distribution configuration he achieved put more mass behind the sweet spot, and the result gave me a club I hit not only farther, but straighter too – results we documented by testing hundreds and hundreds of drives on a launch monitor. In another case, the “ No Brainer” club head I used took Steve Almo from Geek Golf two years to design and test. Today we have shafts that are lighter and stronger, giving every-day golfers more club head speed with a livelier “kick” that produces more distance. So the shaft manufacturers innovated, doing things like adding boron strands to the tip section and reinforcing the weave of the graphite sheets. I was breaking one or two shafts a month. I’ll give you a couple of examples: 10 years ago the graphite shafts we used wouldn’t stand up to the swing speeds we generated. Long drive is to golf like Indy cars are to the automobile industry: innovations tested at the extreme edge of performance eventually trickle down to improve performance at the consumer level. After all, look at what Charles Barkley did for the game: his swing was so bad and his failure so epic that he had millions of golfers saying “Even I can do better than that.” and they were encouraged to get back into the game. So I believe the Golf Channel partnership will help build interest in long drive, and in so doing help to bring new golfers into the game, plus re-ignite the passion of existing golfers. Back in 2003 when I won my first championship, ESPN broadcasted my win - as well as my marriage proposal from the tee (see “ the real prize” video clip). It’s the stories behind the story that really grab us.Īnd trust me, having been in long drive for 10 years, there are plenty of stories. But look at what the Golf Channel has been able to accomplish with shows like Big Break, Chasing the Dream, the Haney Project, the Feherty show, Morning Drive, and other shows. As is true for any sport, television really brings the sport of Long Drive alive for people – not only the mesmerizing distances that are being achieved, but also the personalities of those who are pushing the envelope.ĮSPN has been great for long drive for 17 years. What the new Golf Channel contract will do is bring the excitement of long drive to a whole new audience. Visit any driving range and the majority of golfers will have a driver in their hand. There’s something mesmerizing about watching a drive soar straight and long down the fairway. Crush it dead square and there is no sweeter feeling. Hit it past your buddies and you get respect. Big news in the small world of long drive: the World Long Drive Championships are moving to Golf Channel (from ESPN).Īs we continue to growing the game of golf, players will always to be drawn to the allure of distance.
