How is it that once in a rare while you hit a tee shot that goes WAY farther than what you've been seeing? Yesterday in my match, after hitting my driver so so for most of the first 13 holes and really for much of the year, I hit a drive on a 360ish par four that took off like a Tomahawk missile. Left me about 70+- yards to the flag. That's like 35 or 40 yards farther than what I see when I hit one that feels pretty good. The longest drive I've hit on this hole in three years as a member at this club. Now the course is dry so I know it rolled a little more than normal, but it carried my cart mate's drive by a good 20 yards and was a good 15 yards in front of Shrek's drive, and he was past me easily all day. And he was in the really dry rough on the other side of the fairway.
What the muscles? Where the heck does that shot come from, and where the heck does it go when it's not around? I want that shot for every hole. I understand a feller can sometimes luck into just the right launch angle and find the sweet spot perfectly, but it seems swing speed would be a huge factor, also. And it seems doubtful I suddenly ratcheted up the old MPH for one swing.
Weird. It fascinates me. FWIW my index is 4.7, and the shot was made with a Penta ball and my The Morgan Cup R11 shown in my signature below.
How do you explain this when it happens? If it can be done once, it's in there somewhere. I want more. Much more.
