Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into the stats of LPGA players, specifically looking at who’s crushing it off the tee. I wanted to see who the longest drivers are and maybe, just maybe, pick up a tip or two (wishful thinking, I know!).
First, I started by checking out the official LPGA website. They have all the stats you could ever want, so it seemed like the logical place to begin. I navigated to their stats section and looked for the driving distance category.
It was pretty easy to find, to be honest. They had a whole list, ranking players from longest to shortest. I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through, taking note of the names at the top.
- I created my notes.
- Also I used the filter to look for a specific range.
Then, because I’m a bit of a data nerd, I decided to go a little further. I started searching for articles and blog posts about the longest hitters on tour. I figured there might be some interesting analysis or player profiles out there.
What I found
I found some cool articles breaking down the swings of the top players. Seeing the numbers is one thing, but actually reading about how they generate that power is something else entirely. There were some common themes, things like good posture, wide stance, and a powerful lower body rotation. Stuff I’ve heard before, but it’s always good to be reminded, right?
So, after all this digging, I put together my own little list of the longest drivers, along with some notes about their techniques. It’s not exactly groundbreaking research, but it was fun to do, and hey, maybe I’ll actually remember to keep my posture in check next time I’m on the course!
