What lead you to choose your particular equipment specifications?
I love Callaway and Paderson shafts. Both companies make superior equipment and the people who work for/ run these companies are amazing. I really appreciate all they do for me.
Do you favor a particular shot shape to hit it long?
hahaha I prefer whichever shot shape is going to win but I usually hit a fade. If my ball ever turns left that was completely accidental because I really don’t know how to do that on purpose haha
Do you use any training aids to work on your speed and power?
No, but I reserve the right to do so in the future.
Do you do any other types of training to drive it further?
I lift weights on a daily basis. It is important for me both as a golfer and as a firefighter.
Is there any particular bit of advice you would give the regular amateur for him or her to hit the ball longer?
Don’t over swing. Really focus on getting a solid smash factor and good ball flight. It doesn’t matter how hard…
