6 Golf Ball Distance Myths You Should Know
Are you a distance freak? In fact, we all are! Seeking maximum golf ball distance have always been on many golfer’s mind when they play golf. We all seek better Golf Clubs, equipments, Golf Balls and improved golf swings in various attempts to break our distance barrier.
As the game goes by, we get misconceptions here and there based on other’s belief and thinking. However, it is important to know what is the real truth behind them or we will be stuck in that same old thinking that is not improving your game at all.
1. The average golf ball distance delivered by Tour players keeps getting longer and longer.
Not really. In fact, driving distance have increased but at a very small margin. The past average was only increased by a mere one to 287.3 yards and though technology have increased player’s distance, those on tour are almost reaching a stagnated state. Technology have helped recreational golf ball players get better distance with still the same player profile as before but there is always a limit till what you can do.
2. Long hitters generally get lower scores than shorter hitters.
Not true at all. Some may, some may not. In fact, the longest hitters on tour are not on the top 50 of the money list rankings and score rankings. Ultimately, you need a good blend of skill, distance, fitness, mental condition for you to be at the top. It is not easy at all. Does it mean shorter distance hitters have a chance? Yes, it is definitely a high chance.
3. You need golf swing to help to increase your golf ball distance.
Not really. Swing lessons and fitness lessons do help you increase your golf ball distance. But there is a limit at how much they can do. While Tiger can play and golf ball and bring the best out of them, he still needs the best custom made golf ball to pull the best performance out of his golf ball distance.
4. To get longer golf ball distance, you need to get longer clubs.
Not true at all. In theory, longer shafts equates to longer distance. But the heavy club heads have caused it harder for you to control and maintain a sweet spot hit. In fact, at times shorter club heads will allow you to hit the sweet spot more consistently and get the most distance out of your golf balls.
5. Getting greater golf ball distance needs higher swing speeds.
You can try that again. Time and time again, the equation have always been the correct golf ball for the correct swing speed. Even if you used the “best” golf ball, you might not be guaranteed that it is suited for your swing speed to get greater golf ball distance.
6. A higher golf ball velocity provides greater golf ball distance.
In theory yes, but golf ball distance is now a function of many other variables. If you add on a top spin onto a golf ball, you might hardly get any distance at all. You still need a correct initial angle of launch, correct loft of golf club, correct type of golf ball and correct amount of spin imparted to the golf ball.
