What lead you to choose your particular equipment specifications?

I leave all my club work to my Coach/Club Builder Brian Delaney (@delaneybpga). We get the numbers, he goes to work and I trust him! He is unbelievable at his job, one of the best, so whatever he gives me is what we go with!

Do you favor a particular shot shape to hit it long?

I’m a traditional player that has always tried to play a cut. Especially with a long drive, I feel comfortable hitting a cut to fill up the grid!

Do you use any training aids to work on your speed and power?

@superspeedgolf

Do you do any other types of training to drive it further?

Lower body and core exercises

Is there any particular bit of advice you would give the regular amateur for him or her to hit the ball longer?

Balance, balance, balance!! Your body has to be working together to get everything out of it! Balance is the only way your body can work together going at its fastest speed!

Power comes for the ground up! Strong lower half helps with power and balance!

Don’t be scared to swing as hard…
