木桿長度極大化的風潮開始

木桿長度極大化的風潮開始！

最近Dechambeau 測試了48“的木桿，也的到更好的結果。這是在室內的測試結果，還沒有看到室外或比賽他真正的用48”的木桿。但因為這樣的做法，目前在PGA裡也開始讓一些球星們考慮使用長木桿的策略。因為今年疫情的關係，Master/名人賽要在11月舉辦，所以一些球星們已經開始摩拳擦掌。

對老將米克森/Mickelson來說，他就打算用47.5“的木桿來打。原因很簡單，就是要“距離”。他說到；在奧古斯塔球場，很多洞的設計，球道的沙坑都需要飛過至少要320碼。過了沙坑或一些障礙後就一帆風順。至少在攻果嶺上就有優勢。這點從看deChambeau的PGA錦標賽就很清楚。

所以奧古斯塔球場的球道距離和障礙的設計也是基於選手的平均距離來考量。因為能開過320碼的距離也是不多，而對多數的選手距離來說，就是要求要準度的開球。現在如果要越過障礙的話，只有距離提升。而距離提升除了人本身的提升，還要球桿提升。這部分來說，把球桿加長就是一個最簡單和容易的方法。

但木桿長度加長就柳暗花明嗎？沒有！問題在控制球桿的能力變得更困難。大家都打過不同長度的球桿，所以可以瞭解，長度對球友使用上的難度和挑戰。對選手也是一樣。尤其要把長的球桿用到可以上場廝殺拼搏的程度，這是需要一定的時間去磨練。可不是臨時起意要試身手的做法。

另一個球星Adam Scott也在這週的Huston Open/休士頓公開賽裡也開始所以46“的木桿。其目的也是司馬昭之心路人皆知。也是在為接下來的Master做準備和測試磨合。我覺得這個木桿長度不是今年才有。其實大家都知道長度是兩面刃。距離和準度這兩個因素去做平衡。但看到Dechambeau的例子後，讓其他選手有想提升距離的動機。

Lately Dechambeau has been trying new 48" driver and gets good results. Of course it's in indoor result and we haven't seen him to play such driver in tournament. However, with such movement, other PGA golfers are thinking to challenge longer driver for gaining the distance for this month's Master champion.

Michelson is thinking to play longer length driver and now he is playing 47.5" driver. He said it's simple, distance is key! Augusta is not an easy golf course, for most of holes, you need to flight over 320 yards for avoiding the bunkers. This is the advantage for having long distance tee shot and that's why he is trying to play longer length driver.

DeChambeau's case, it's obvious! if you want to gain more distance, you have to gain the weight and increase your muscle. Or you have to have the golf clubs to help you. Making the golf club longer is the way to get more distance and that's why these professional golfers are thinking and doing now.

But it's not just adding length longer to gain the distance. When you the driver length becomes longer than you used to play, it increases the difficulty and accuracy for controlling the driver. In most of cases, your driving on the fairway ratio may be lower than 50%. I would say it takes time to build the ability to handle the driver.

The other PGA pro Adam Scott is using 46" driver in this week's Huston open. We know he is trying to gain the distance for playing such driver. Distance does matter when you play PGA tournament and pros know DeChambeau gains the distance and others are trying to copy what he has been doing. I would say we will see more pros are playing longer length driver in 2021.

下集開始。

現在球星們開始去嘗試也是由於DeChambeau在今年開始的大爆發。從他的身體加重，再來他的打法，而現在還要去挑戰更長的木桿長度,去發揮開球距離的極大化目標。這樣距離可以從目前320碼到370碼。

因為他在前面有不錯的結果和成績，導致其他球員們也覺得這或許是一個好方法來提升距離。他可以做到，我應該也可以。但職業選手有專家在旁邊伺候，所以不只球桿，還有體能訓練師，更不用說還有動作的教練在協助指導。對他們來說，這樣的改變是可以克服和提升。

所以以前覺得長木桿是風險，到現在反而可以來嘗試和克服。因為球員們都是相互競爭和學習模仿。如果一個技術，方法可行的話，他們就會去解除封印來套用在自己身上。如果不去嘗試和創新，可能就無法更好和突破目前的狀況。這就是在最競爭的職業比賽裡的狀況。你不提升就等著被淘汰！

那超過46”的木桿真的會是風潮和可行嗎？我覺得對球員來說是可以。一來是球員的能力和身體素質都是高水平，所以對於操控長木桿來說是沒問題，只是在高強度的比賽下能否掌握好和心理素質上，這是比較重要。但對於要落實在一般市售木桿上，我個人覺得，基於廠商的行銷策略，這會落實，只是多數球友是無法可以操控自如。

我自己過去也試過46“的木桿，要打好真的很難。尤其動作不對或用手打球的打法，要擊球精準度就是天方夜譚。長木桿對身體和動作都是極度要求彼此平衡，才能有一個好的結果。一般球友沒有太多時間去鍛鍊身體和練動作，要做好控制長木桿是非常有難度。選手是打球賺錢，你沒必要這樣玩命。看看熱鬧就好了！

Now we are seeing more and more professional golfers trying to use long length driver due to Dechambeau impact. Since he adds the weight, his approach and now the over length driver, the pros are given the impact for what he has been doing with positive results. Now he uses over length driver can get the distance from 320 yards to 370 yards.

Such increment is impressive! With such distance, his second shot can be short iron or wedges. Compared with other PGA pros, they are short over 70~80 yards and that makes the second shot more difficult to play. As a result, we know why the distance is played so important rule in golf. The pros are able to make it work since they have swing coach, body work out trainer and clubfitter/clubmaker to help them build the body, swing and golf clubs.

You are the ordinary golfer, you do not have good swing, you are lack of body training and you do not have professional clubfitter/clubmaker to help you build the custom driver. It's extremely risky for you to play driver length over 46". We can see how pros play it well but if you want to try it, you might get hurt for such play.

I did try and built 46" driver in the past, it did not go well since the length is hard to handle and control. My body is not strong enough to handle the over length driver's loading. Of course, I have built the driver with my specification to play but still it's hard to play. I have had less than 50% of striking accuracy. I do not think 46" driver can become the trend, since it requires lots of factors and requirements on the swing and golf clubs.
