    Hey...just wondering something the other day. I have a pretty good driver and yet i frequently play guys who out drive me by 30-40 yds.  What do they know that i don't know?  Thanks for any help

    Apparel they are wearing could be the answer

    They have a higher level Swing Edge hat and aren't using starter balls?  Your L96 driver should be no more than 4-10 yds behind the L102 driver, all else being equal.  Also try adding about 75% backspin with your starter ball to maximize carry.

    Thank you...i guess I should look more closely at "hats" and other stuff...never really paid much attention - thanks!

    Hi Cel7,

    All of the advice in this Thread is accurate and true.

    However, play the course not your opponent.

    The Callaway Epic Speed Driver [L96+] that you are using is a very forgiving driver existing the same specifications as the current Level [96+] Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond Driver.

    I recommend upgrading to the current Level [96+] Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond Driver to stay current with technology and your Level/Tier.

    Both drivers can produce dynamic drives at the 250 yards, 260 yards, and 287-300 yards with the later existing better technology, thus better dynamic drives.

    Apparel for boosting game play has it's place in certain areas of the game but renders fantasy simulation rather than reality simulation.

    The name of the game is Position not Distance.

    So allow the virtual golf ball to the work for you by complimenting your equipment and style of play. Sure, handsome, stylish hats always look good, but with the right equipment dynamic shots allow for position and reality.

    I have sent you a sleeve of dynamic virtual golf balls and a friend invite.

    Best of luck to you here at World Golf Tour.

    Thank you so much...really appreciate it. And I agree with 100 percent of what you say about positioning over length...nothing more satisfying than sticking a 5 iron to 2 yds while your opponent ends up at 5 yds away with an 8 iron. The only reason i brought it up was that i have had a couple of times recently where i lost games simply because I could not reach par 5s in 2 while my opponent could. Thanks again!!
