Re: Driving the Ball 280 to 300.....Really???
As with most ego related things people are not generally particularly honest, so take whatever I write with a grain of salt.
I've hit 315 on a launch monitor before though swinging out of my shoes (swing speed: about 110) and I've hit drives 340+ on the course with a tailwind and downhill. I've also succeeded on forced carries of 290-300 before. I'm about 6'1 and an out of shape 185 pounds who probably can't bench 150, but I make a big turn, clear my hips quickly, and have strong wrists. I hit my 7 iron about 185. I play the majority of my rounds in Vancouver which is not a particularly good place to play distance wise (courses soft, elevation minimal).
e: also I'm not saying that I average 300 off the tee, because I certainly don't.
