That ain't easy if you have a lifetime of turn, swing! But the lessons and range time to do the drills, etc. to teach yourself to swing correctly would be cheaper than a new driver, ha.

One of the dumber statements I've heard here in awhile....

Distance = Club head speed

Distance = Ball speed + Launch angle + Back spin + Smash factor
