Would you rather be straight or long?

[peteman29]

If a magic genie gave you the option of hitting the driver 260 but in the fairway every time versus 300 but hardly ever in the fairway what would you take?

[Big D McGee]

Depends. Can I use another wish to get Tiger's recovery game??

 

Hmmm...since I drive the ball between 250-275 straight anyway, I'll use my wish for Tiger's putting skills.

 

But straighter, more fairways hit, is better than length IMHO. :stop:

[Placebo]

Based on the current status of my driving tee shots.......... 260 straight all day everyday. Hell I'd even take 250 and straight. :stop:

[kjvieira]

I'd take straight all day! The game is much easier from the fairway rather than the trees!

[cpa49707]

260 yards and straight all day long baby :stop:

[Bobc910]

I take straight anytime because I am banana man 50% of the time. 260 yards + straight would be like having a cake and eat it too. :stop:

[cowboynjungle1]

I've always tried to hit it long, but I will take straight anyday.

My game is such that usually the straighter I hit it, the farther it goes.

I think that makes sense, better swings = straighter shot and ball goes far.

[jportz]

With my game right now I'd take 260 straight....you're talking 100% fairways every time right? Yeah, that would be pretty good....heck, you could take that, learn how to putt and make some money on tour.

 

Is that 260 carry???? Come on ....just trying to milk out some "roll" yardage in this fantasy.

[ROB_C4]

No question straight everytime.

[lars]

straight. take dead aim. never worrying about trouble left or right? priceless.

[lewisgl]

260 straight, no question.

[cjdrcc]

Does this mean I get an iron game too? If so sign me up!

[KingOAces]

i'd definately take 260 straight.

[plus1]

id say long! i hit the ball straight enough currently and am around 260 carry of the tee,....but i would love even if it were for just one day....to hit a few bombers ie 320!!!! :stop:

[TReed]

I would without a doubt take 260 straight

[rednumbers69]

depends on how wayward buy ill take straight

[Golfwolf]

260 and straight would be good for me, although I would like to have more!!

[Sisu]

260 straight....where do I sign up for this program :stop:

[shoe295]

All things being equal, let me keep my game but give me 320-330 off the tee anytime! I figure I can get out of almost anywhere without too much trouble...usually...most of the time....Length I say...Length...and more of it the better. As long as we're dreaming give me 340 and I don't really give a hoot as long as the ball is dry I'd be good!

[rockstar571]

i'm gonna go with long....i carry it about 260 as is and i'm straighter than anyone i play with...however i would gladly hit only 2-3 fairways a day if it ment 300+

[crew_138]

Long... Because of all the practice I get getting out of trouble already... should be easier when closer to the hole.

[cleatsupkeep]

Straight, fairways and greens, I wanna play boring golf - irons are my strength, and I hit them better from the fairway.

LOL! The rules are: The ball goes a max of 260 yds every time and in the fairway every time so you would be last in average driving dist but 1st on fairways in reg!

VS

a max of 300yds every time but in the fairway maybe 10% of the time.

who wins more golf tournaments...fred funk and cory pavin or tiger and phil?

[Zach Heusser]

I would have to go with Long. I think most of the great players in today's game are all long hitters.

[TNSooner]

You can't teach long...

 

You can always teach direction control...

 

 

I'll take long over straight every time.

[ba_priddy]

Fairways and greens all day long. Distance is useless without direction and control.

Tiger and Phil probably have the best short games on tour, that's why they win

[ScratchThis]

wow what a good post........ would you rather have $5 or $20 if you had to choose?

[magee99]

I am in the 290-300 range now and am quite wild.....50-60% the fairways?

 

I would give up the 30 yards to keep it in the fairway.

 

I hit my hybrid of the tee on 6 holes now on my 6800 course!
