Happy Harrington

PrintI get fed up with the front cover of golf magazines sometimes, 'ten tips to hit it great', 'find out how Garcia can help you hit the ball further'. None are over night successes like implied.
But now, I’ve found the answer for hitting the ball 10% further with just one fundamental change! And for those who have seen the movie Happy Gilmore (who hasn’t?!) then you’ll know exactly what that fundamental change is.
Let me thank our American buddies from Sports Science for producing this intriguing experiment. Also, full credit to our great Open Champion Padraig Harrington for being the genie pig.
If you want to start smashing it past your mates when there is a skin up for longest drive then press play below and I’ll see you at the driving range that has really long bays for practice!

A friend of mine did years ago with a new driver of his at the range. After two really nice hits, the third left his driver head about 80 yards downrange.

LMAO !!!
I hope you were there to see that ! Did he hit the ground or was the torque just too much for the shaft ?
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Both. He swung REALLY hard. I think if he had taken it down maybe ten or twenty mph then it would have stayed intact.

Great video
My brother has tried the Happy Gilmore swing and just nails the ball, I on the other hand miss it every time.
