Can you buy distance
A buddy of mine just purchased a Taylormade R11 driver. He had a 10.5 degree driver but gets so much air under all his shots it goes about 190. He's a very good srtiker of the ball. He bought a 9 degree and cranked it down to 8.5 Deg. Well he now hits his drives lower and is getting about 220 on his drives.
Well, I have usually out hit him by 30 yards and figured I needed to keep up with him, just for bragging rights as he usually beats me. (That's another story).
I decided I didn't want to spend the $300 for the R11.
While reading reviews of the R11, I found a good review of the Mizuno MX700(2009) was given and I thought that could be the club for me. I went to Ebay and found a 10.5 deg regular flex club. Paid $101 delivered.
We played Sunday and I was 30 to 50 yards longer than him! My first shot ever ( not even going to the range) was just under 280! My best of the day was 284. I had my longest drives ever on 7 of the 12 holes I used the club.
On a good day I could go about 235 sometimes more....
I'm not bragging but just excited that it's true that you can buy distance with new techology. I was truly shocked with a smooth controlled swing the ball just flew off the Mizuno...
