In speaking about early commits this video of Sean Crocker is a reminder that nothing is set in stone until the papers are signed.

> For instance, if you have a kid that is 110 pounds and is driving it 225 on average they would have a yards per pound of 2.05. You don't have to reply with your kids weight or distance, just share their yards per pound factor.

> Current longest average is Trey Mullinax 319.8 yards at 195 pounds which is a 1.64

> LONG HITTERS:

> JT - 145 lbs / 312.6 = 2.155

> DJ - 190 lbs / 308.8 = 1.62

> TW - 185 lbs / 305.3 = 1.65

> Aaron Wise - 175 lbs / 303.3 = 1.73

> SHORT HITTERS:

> Ryan Moore - 170 lbs / 287 = 1.69

> Luke Donald - 165 lbs / 286.8 = 1.74

> Ian Poulter - 189 lbs / 288.8 = 1.53

> To me it seems like size is really important at the younger ages but it sort of evens out at some point. Even so, it looks like the short hitters are more efficient in their swings getting more yards per pound. I don't know if this is relevant but I got bored for a few minutes and this popped in my head.

Has more to do with ground force. Long drivers can apply 200-250% of they’re body weight veryically.
