"Bubba the Bomber" and Your Driver….
8:20 pm, Mon, 31 January 11
It was fun to watch Bubba Watson win the PGA tournament this weekend, pretty exciting stuff down the finish of this one.
As a lot of you probably know, he has often been the longest driver on the PGA tour. Forget about the pink shaft, he absolutely bombs it.
He, as do a lot of players on the PGA tour, plays a 44-1/2 inch length driver. This is at least an inch shorter than any driver you will purchase at a golf store.
He surely has done extensive testing to find the right length for his driver. And you can bet that he is working to hit the ball far, but also in the middle of the clubface as much as possible and also in the middle of the fairway as much as possible.
Few of us “mortal” golfers can consistently hit a driver well that is longer than 45 inches in length. Hitting the ball in the center of the face as much as possible will lead to longer driving distances.
Keep showing us Bubba……….maybe we will learn from you!! Even if we do not play pink shafts….
