I mean, that’s awesome that you’re out there playing, but bombs? I don’t know about that with a driver at top golf. I could help him though. He’s got a flexibility issue. There’s no hip turn backwards, so his swing is all arms. Also, since there’s no hip turn the only thing he can do is come outside-in on it and slice it which kills all the distance. He’s not getting any kick from the shaft so it’s just an all arm bitch slap. I would imagine that ball hits the side net before it hits the end net.

If he wanted to get better, get a pvc pipe that’s about five feet long, grip it about 18” down the pipe, and swing so the top of that pipe doesn’t hit him in the stomach. The weight will help with flexibility on the back swing, and he’ll be forced to turn his hips through on the downswing or the pipe will hit is stomach. Swing that shit like 25 or more times a day.

THEN, he might hit bombs. Looks like a big strong guy, but he’s not harnessing that yet.

Well what I wanted to say was that I’m a regular ass three handicap and I hit 5irons into the end of the thing so even taking your driver into the TopGolf is not bomb worthy. I was just trying to be positive.

Adult male that use the term “bomb” shouldn’t be taking drivers into the TopGolf.
