![]() To keep swing weights from getting way to heavy, we are recommending going with counter balanced shafts. The shafts will need to be installed at raw length with no tipping to achieve these lengths. If you are planning on going all the way to a 48 inch driver, a standard 46 inch driver shaft will get you there, depending upon the length of the adjustable tip you are using. Ping G-style tips will be about a half inch short or 47.5 inches. If you tend to hit off the top of the face of your driver, you probably have a negative angle of attack or your shaft is way to soft (flexible). Simple way to check is if you have a tendency to hit behind the ball, you already have a positive angle of attack. Get your swing checked on a launch monitor to find you current Angle of Attack (AoA). If you currently swing "down" on the ball, you will increase spin with a longer driver and actually could LOSE distance. The positive attack angle reduces spin and increases both carry and roll. Increasing club length to increase ball speed will only work if you are swinging "up" on the ball, i.e. ![]() Here is More About Counter Balanced Shafts You MUST Have a Positive Attack Angle This will help you maintain control as you work on hitting the sweet spot and increasing smash factor. Most shaft companies denote these shafts as CB. Try a shaft that is 10 grams lighter than your current driver and is counter balanced. This is not necessarily an issue if you have a fast tempo and aggressive transition from back swing to forward swing. Play a Lighter or Counter Balanced ShaftĪs you increase length, the swing weight of the club increases. Phil played a Ventus Black TX (Tour Xtra Stiff) shaft to make it play stiffer than his regular driver. Play one flex stiffer for every 1.5 inches longer you go in club length. Fine for Long Drive competitors and Tour Pro's that can "gouge" from the rough, but not necessarily good for the average golfer. The problem with staying with a softer shaft is that your ability to square the clubface consistently is reduced. I am going to get a little push back from the Long Drive guys here since they like to play a softer shaft to get more "whip" or speed through impact. ![]() Try moving away from the ball and aligning the ball towards the toe of your driver. If you are hitting towards the heel due to the longer length, it increases spin and reduces effective ball speed. If your ball speed only goes up 2 mph, you are NOT hitting the sweet spot. Use face tape or Strike Spray to see where you are making contact. ![]() The SuperSpeed Training System also utilizes swings to the dominant side and non-dominant side helping to balance the power and stability of the body.It's all about getting the best smash factor (ball speed divided by clubhead speed), not just ball speed. The system works by getting the body to move faster than normal with the same mechanics as the golf swing, then increasing the load (weight of the club) and having the body try to maintain the faster speeds. The SuperSpeed Golf Training system is unique in that it uses a specific weighting system compared to a driver of 20% lighter, 10% lighter, and 5% heavier paired with intense and escalating training protocols to help golfers increase their swing speed. “In the past year the SuperSpeed Golf Training System helped many of the best Long Drive Professionals in the world reach the pinnacle of speed including Connor Powers, who recorded a 156MPH (251 KMH) swing speed! We are glad to be a part of the LDET and look forward to helping long drivers around the world increase their speed!”, says Michael Napoleon, Director of Golf Instruction Super Speed. In the picture Michael Napoleon and Xavier Eusebio, Director of LonG Drivers European Tour. Many Long Drive professionals around the world are not yet familiar with overspeed training and have much to gain from adding this into their training regimen”. “ SuperSpeed Golf uses over speed training to help golfers increase swing speed and distance. The LDET players will be have the chance to test the SuperSpeed Golf products in all the championships during the season, and will also get important discounts to purchase the products to increase their club speed. Janu– Good news for the European Long Drive players: SuperSpeed Golf and Long Drivers European Tour (LDET) have signed a partnership agreement during the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, featuring the brand as one of the sponsors for the 2015 LDET season. ![]()
