“The problem is if you have a golf swing where the harder you hit it, the more it spins, so your numbers get all out of whack, if you start adding length on top of that, now a longer driver is going to make it spin even more and become inefficient. So your swing has to be in a certain way where it makes sense to add that extra length.”
