They also hit some fantastic long iron / hybrid shots.
LPGA pros may not have the driving distances of a retired pro baseball players, but they still hit it pretty far and hit a lot of fairways in reg. They also putt really well compared to most scratch players. It actually looks almost effortless, very different from PGA pros. If you go out and play a round at an LPGA Pro AM, you can see their golf games are just off the charts. Scratch players regardless of their long driving skills just don't have same skills that the top 50 LPGA pros have on any given week. This article from this weekend is a good summary. It was great to see the side by side comparison this weekend that will be a great reference to use in the the future whenever somebody runs their mouth. The gulf between the two levels is much, much larger than you can really understand until you actually see it. I always feel like the people that think a scratch golfer can win in the LPGA are the same people that think the best college football team can beat the worst NFL team.
But it's time for the good local players to shut their mouths with their uninformed beliefs about the relative talents of the lpga. The very best men are stronger and would win easily. Previously, the shaft sleeve only allowed you an upright and standard lie setting, and then club face positions. The Stage 2 also has an updated adjustability component. Sorry, there's no way to spin this for the grunting men who somehow feel it makes them more masculine to believe they could beat the best girls at this game.Īnd to clarify, nobody is saying the lpga would beat the pga from the pga tees. The biggest difference between the Stage 2 and the original RBZ seems to be the improved aerodynamics which reduced drag to increase club speed, resulting in more distance. Or most likely missed the cut along with the few he beat here.

So in a full field, he maybe finishes what, 80th.
RBZ STAGE 2 DRIVER REVIEW GOLF DIGEST DRIVERS
With modern day technology golf drivers are. If it's a full field, lots of lesser players have good weeks, and they beat him too. Having the best golf driver that fits your game can mean the difference between hitting the ball the farthest you ever have and losing yards every hole. If this doesn't tell them they are idiots, I don't know what will.Įven lpga tour winners have off weeks, and I'm sure the bottom 3 or 4 did just that, and Lowe barely beat them. If I had a dime for every low handicap Joe who had told me he'd destroy the lpga players from "those short tees they play". Professional athletes used to performing under intense pressure would fare way better than the typical scratch guy, I'd wager. This was definitely NOT an average LPGA field.Īnd these weren't average scratch male golfers.
There's no doubt that the women really are good, but remember that this field included only players who have won a a tournament in the last two years.
