To drive a golf ball the farthest should you hit a line drive or a high angle shot?

Basically, you should do whatever suits you the best. If you want to know the real seceret, you want to hit a low fizzing draw with the driver, it'll go an absolute mile!

I assume you mean a straight shot when you say 'line drive'. A straight drive is always best, as you will keep out of trouble, but it depends how high you launch it etc. If you hit a high angle drive, nearly all of your distane will come from carry, with very little roll. And obviously if you hit a low launch drive the ball will have less air time, but roll more.

Interestingly, the best thing to do is find a driver with your perfect loft and perfect shaft (custom fitting is the ideal way to achieve this) as well as the perfect ball for you. This will allow you to get the best from your game.

Is a handicap of 5 good?

Yes, i think that is a good handicap. OK you are not a world class player but you most likely shoot around a few over every round. Keep it up, you clearly have potential.

**

While not actually true, you can (very) roughly think of your handicap as what you will shoot over par on an an average course on a good day. So a handicap of 7 should break 80 on occasion, which we could call quite good.

As additional context, the average golfer shoots 100, and the average golfer that tracks their handicap online is about a 15, so you would definitely be above average on both counts.

How do you shape a fade shot in golf?

What is the difference between a regular and stiff golf club?

The easiest way to describe it is that the regular shaft is more flexible than the stiff one. The stiffer the shaft the quicker the swing speed needs to be to get the best from it. Also, stiffer shafts allow the ball to be hit farther, which is an exciting prospect for many amateurs but if someone with a slower swing hits a stiff shaft they will always hit low blocks instead of a nice high straight shot which they could with a regular.

How far should each golf iron go?

Of course it depends on the player, but these are some typical distances for amateur men in good condition:

PW 100 yds
9I 110 yds
and so on, ten more yards per club.

240 yds is a good swing with a driver, 220 yds from a 3W, and 200 from a 5W are pretty typical.

These are for the ones that don't go into the woods, get skulled into the ladies tee box, are shanked into the cart, etc. So maybe they're not so typical. :-).

How do you break 100 in playing golf?

To break 100 means it took you less than 100 strokes to finish a round (18 holes). The average golfer who only plays a couple times a year will usually consider it a good day to break 100. Say you played a course with a par of 72 that is the "standard" number of strokes to finish the round. So if you shoot a 70 then you shot 2 under par, if you shot a 75 you are 3 over par. This means to shoot 100 on a par 72 course would be 28 over par, which doesn't sound good but if you never play you'll take it.
