New GolfWRX Column - Pettersson and the Long Driver

One of the exciting cases of 2012 changed into Carl Pettersson. Pettersson switched from a widespread-length driver of approximately 45 inches to a 47-inch long driving force. The concept, consistent with Pettersson, was to enhance his release situations and to hit the ball similarly.

According to fellow GolfWRX Featured Writer, Tom Wishon, the common period of a driving force on the PGA Tour is 44.5 inches. Wishon said he uses a golfer?S frame dimensions, such as top and wrist-to-floor measurement, to properly suit the period of the driving force for a golfer. We realize that Bubba Watson used a 44.Seventy five-inch driving force and is listed at 6-foot three-inches tall. While I do not recognise Pettersson?S measurements, he is indexed at five-feet 11-inches tall at the PGA Tour?S website. I feel it's far safe to mention that a 47-inch motive force is an abnormally long motive force for him and now not what most club fitters might endorse becoming him into.

The concept of a longer driving force shaft increasing distance off the tee is not new. In truth, long drive competitors nearly completely use longer driving force shafts so that you can hit the ball similarly. Part of the reason for the ball going similarly has to do how the longer shaft alters the geometry of the golfing swing. The other component is physics. All things being equal, the longer the motive force shaft the lighter the club?S static weight could be
