just got home from the driving range... cracked em real good tonight!

 

But everyone sucks at golf... and tennis went out with the '70s.

 

I tried a 460cc driver last year when I was thinking about golfing again. I felt like a special-ed golf student. Sure, I could kill the ball, but it just didn't feel right. I used a 360 or 390cc (somewhere in that range) and lost maybe 10 yards of distance, without feeling like an assclown swinging the 460.

 

ouch...


then does that make me old school for still playing tennis at least twice a week in the summers since i was like 10?

 

I remember years ago when I bought my Callaway Great Big Bertha adn it seemed huge at the time. Now, it seems like fairway woods are larger than my driver.


I've tried hitting a 460cc-I think I actually lost yards compared to what I hit my Callaway.

 

My last set up clubs were a cheap Callaway knockoff. The driver was a Big Bertha knockoff. Plenty big.

 

Actually, one of the lessons I learned fairly early... Distance isn't really important for an average player. I used to play 2-3 times a week during the summer ($3 for 9 holes!) and always ended up playing with old retired guys. One time, I played with 3 old guys, who were great fun. I outdrove them by a healthy 50 yards every time. But they always drove right in the middle of the fairway, never played a rough or sand shot, and almost always were on the green in regulation. I spent a lot of time making saves.

 

I played with 3 little old ladies a few years ago. They never drove more than 150-175 at the most--but they were deadly around the green.

 

what are the 70's?

 

What Motoo shoots for 9 holes.
