Current driver: TaylorMade R15 430 Handicap: 8 Average swing speed: 96mph
Current driving: “Inconsistent. I’ve never been a long hitter, but solid 220 to 240-yard drives that found the fairway used to be regular. Now a swing fault has left me hitting it short and wide. I know it’s the golfer not the club but a driver that boosts my confidence is key.”
Current driver: Titleist 915D2 Handicap: 5 Average swing speed: 112mph
Current driving: “I’m currently driving the ball fairly well. I’ve gone through the process of finding more consistency off the tee and am now looking to maximise my distance potential. Being able to hit the ball further than most is a strength of my game.”
Current driver: Ping G30 SF Tec Handicap: 4 Average swing speed: 100mph
Current driving: “Consistency is undoubtedly the strength of my driving. I don’t hit it as far as many, but I find a lot of fairways. I’m not prepared to sacrifice consistency with a swing change that adds distance, so any extra yardage I can find from a driver is a bonus.”
