...most importantly I hit my driver 40-50 yards
longer on the course compared to last year! Yesterday I hit two drives
just over 300 yards in the middle of the fairway! Its really amazing! I
know it works every time! It´s a totally different ballgame since I
reach the par-5s in two easily now. I have wedge and 9-iron left on
par-4s where I used to hit 4-iron. I´m also hitting my irons 10-15 yards
longer .
I´ll let you know when I do my first 64!
Thanks a lot for a great program!

Thanks very much Ben. You are very encouraging and clear and I understand quite well ... It hit me, now that you point this to me, that I have feared missing the ball my whole golfing life. I will strive on, sticking the XL8R into the impact target and forget about the ball, and I will persevere with the exercises.

I want to thank you for getting me to this point. I've gone from one of the
shortest hitters here (88 mph) to one of the longest (109 mph average) in my age range.

I won the Senior Championship - net score - last week.
This (current) is member-member and my partner and I are leading it. I started a
little shaky but picked it up with 4 birdue and finished birdie, birdke. Not sure
what our lead is but somewhere between 0 and 3.
On my swings I'm just driving into the same target as the XLR8R.

Ben-
I played a local course at 6555 yards and shot a 70 !!!!! One under Par everything in the hole … Guys I was playing with who were younger than me said you're hitting it by us by 30 -35 yards off the tee . I replied I must have hit a sprinkler head!

Hi, Ben,
I wanted to send you a note with regard to my recent play at the recent Father-Son Golf Classic at Myrtle Beach, SC.
This was the second year Paul and I competed. Last year we placed 328 among a field of 800 teams. I was the weak link with my drives last year being short all to frequently. This year, however, as a result of my training with you we were able to win quite decisively. We led the tournament after Day 1 and never looked back, winning by 9 strokes (gross score) in our Flight. Out of 672
teams competing we finished 10th with a score of 206 (gross). Our goal next year is to be #1 overall!
I am 65 and...consistently drove the ball LONG and STRAIGHT. From there it was a rather average shot for Paul to reach the Green, even on most of the Par 5’s.
My swing speed average, as you know, has increased between 15-20mph. My home course is a Pete Dye design and is the 2nd longest course in Florida. Obviously then, distance is a key. As my swing speed has increased, my scores have decreased. There are few (if any) of the golfers I golf with here who can outdrive me consistently. Some are now consistently behind me in drives. It’s a great feeling!
I look forward to the continued training and of course increased swing speed as Paul and I shoot for #1 next year.
Thanks, Ben.

Hi Ben,
Two workouts with 3,2,1, 4 and a snapper workout. Getting close to big
distance.
Marking with my GPS so I know actual yardage. Hit a few 260, 265, 268
and then hit four at 280, 281, 282, and 284. The 282 was a par four
that plays all uphill. Last week I was hitting them 270, 10 yds in one week.
Also, on a flat par four hit one 302 - who is this
guy?
The football drill for me carries over for full stretch in the
backswing and concentrated on keeping a stable center. I think you are
right when the XLR8R creates compression and ball speed.
On two short par 5's I was 235 and 238 to the green, both surrounded by
bunkers. Have to get a club that I can carry in the air. I've never
been a good fairway wood player so I am hitting a 16 degree hybrid that
I hit low with lots of roll...
You talk about shooting 64 - I was thinking about breaking 70 but why
not go right to the low number? So far, work, work ,work and BAM! it
kicks in.
Never had so much fun - guys I play with still don't realize - they
think it's because I just had a few good days. You are right that I'm
better and know I'm better -
Even though I can usually play once a week now that baseball is over I
am going to play Sat and Sun - should make a difference.
Thanks for your help - one week with football drill - concentrate on
3,2,1,4 drills- gained 10 yds.
Bob
