300Yards

Really?? An airport runway don't count either..as far as I can see, this is the longest drive in recorded competiton. I watched him hit that on TV. There may be othere, but none of them were during a LD comp, or they were done with drivers of extraordinary length..please correct me if I'm wrong..

Lead Tape

LOL...I think there have been a few guys hitting from a cliff down into a deep gorge or canyon that claimed longer.

I can't even start to tell you how many guys (actually drunks in a bar) that claimed they know a guy...that knows a guy...that knows a guy who can hit it 450 yards or farther all the time and would be willing to put up the money and bet ANYONE.

Well, all they have to do is get Bubba in his bib overalls to enter a few long drive tournaments and see what he has. Not only will Bubba win more in prize money than a drunken bet, but he could also win $100 grand at the Re/Max World Finals. It's funny...but Bubba NEVER shows up.

The LDA Long Drivers of America has this in their statistics: Long Drivers of America

As you can see, their longest recorded drive in a district qualifier was 510 yards, and what they measure is ACCURATE.
However, I would have to venture a guess and say it was extreme weather and ground conditions that allowed it and the range probably ran downhill at some point. All ranges aren't level.

I hear you there..the drive I listed was on an extremely windy day..I believe it was gusting a constant 25+MPH..but I would love to see someone hit on that far, without wind.

Lead Tape

On a perfectly level range, no wind or no more than a 10 mph tail wind, not in Colorado or other high altitude state where the air is thin...IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!

I was working with a guy a few years back making his clubs, working on his swing, and physical training for long drive and he made it into the RE/MAX World Finals. In the quarterfinals with a tail wind of only about 10 miles an hour on a level range, he hit it 415 yards. It FLEW 392 yards, rolled the rest of the way, and is on tape as broadcast by ESPN. Until just last year, this was the longest drive ever hit in the RE/MAX championship at any stage of the competition. I think somebody hit one in 2006 that was a little over 420 at the World's during the elimination brackets.

300Yards

I beieve it was in Arizona..No knows what the longest drive really is..So many people have hit enormous drives, it's hard to tell whos lying, and whos for real. I hit one 400+ once..but it was off the Grand Canyon. That was fun!

I don't think you can go wrong with either company. I have had experience of dealing with both and I would recommend both of them. Most people would go with Golfsmith as it is the bigger company, but Golfworks specialise in clubmaking. Look at the course content and the price. That is what it would come down to for me.

Best of Luck.
