How Your Eyes Affect Driver Distance

Your eyes and how you see the ball at address can drastically affect your driver distance. Fortunately a small adjustment can make a huge difference. Learn more.
An elated customer exclaimed, “my driver is finally longer than my 3 wood!”
He came to us after he saw one of our driver fitting ads online.
Prior to starting to take measurements, we had a chat about what he wanted out of his driver fitting.
He said: To hit his driver longer than his 3 wood, something he had never done in his life.
After our chat, we had a hunch that his swing wasn’t bad – if his swing was bad, he wouldn’t be able to hit his 3 wood.
A few swings at our simulator and range confirmed this.
I was impressed by how he hit most of his clubs in the sweet spot. The strange thing was that he hit his driver towards the heel.

He told me that he had his clubs fitted, and that solved most of his swing issues, but he could never get his driver longer than his 3 wood.
Well at least now we know why.
It’s puzzling, but at least we know it’s him losing distance because he’s striking the heel of his driver.

The Solutions
To help compensate for his driver heel strikes, he had already previously purchased the TaylorMade SIM2 Max driver which features TaylorMade’s Twist Face to compensate for heel and toe strikes.
However, he was still losing a lot of distance from his heel hits.
As official TaylorMade club fitters we understand how the Twist Face was developed and how it works.
On heel strikes, the clubface tends to be more open, so the TaylorMade Twist Face is designed to reduce the loft and close the clubface slightly to prevent missing right.
We increased his loft slightly, and took more measurements. Not only did this compensate for TaylorMade’s Twist Face, which wasn’t actually helping him, but in fact, causing him more problems by reducing the loft.
Interestingly, increasing the loft also caused him to strike the ball less on the heel and closer to the centre of the clubface, just as he did with the rest of his set.
This is a problem that we’ve seen in a number of professional golfers, who are great iron strikers and great with their driver but struggle with fairway woods.

What they struggled with was parallax error.
With the few professional golfers we work with who struggled with this, they tended to strike their fairway woods closer to the toe, because visually they saw the ball closer to the heel when the set up, so they adjust until they see the ball in the centre, which is in fact, aligned to the toe.
We simply adjusted their fairway wood setup, the parallax error went away, and they hit their whole bag great.
Could this be the same problem that our customer was facing?
Since his challenge was heel strikes and not toe strikes, we simply did the opposite of what we did for those pro golfers.
We increased his loft more, and increased his lie angle as well.

Visually, he saw the ball in the same place as he always did, but he immediately started striking the ball in the centre.
With this minor adjustment, he already started hitting his driver further than his fairway woods.
But now that he had an idea of what we could do for him, he thought of re-shafting his driver, which we did to optimize the way he loaded his shaft on his downswing which helped him pick up a few more yards.
Lessons learnt…
If your told you have a certain problem in your golf swing, or the way you’re striking the ball, don’t just go out and look for a compensation for that.
Our customer bought a driver that compensated for his heel strikes. That didn’t help him, it actually hurt his distance even more.
Everyone's swing, build, eyes are different.
So instead of guessing at your golf equipment, come in for a fitting session, and try out the exact clubs you want before you buy.
It won't cost you anything and even save you money!

Hi There,
Being a come back golfer after having laid up for more than 10 years. I was thinking of getting myself fitted as the driver I’m using is more than 15 years old.
The problem is I do not want to spend so much on equipment and is wondering if you guys have older model heads for fitting that would save me some bucks? Or how much does a fitted driver normally cost?
I know this is a very difficult question but would be grateful if you can provide an indicative price.
Best Regards
Kent
