    Looking for a video that could help me add 20, 30, or even 50 yards to my drives
    I'm in great need of a video that could help me hit my drives 20, 30, or 50 yards farther, but NOT 40 or 60 yards farther.
    Does anyone know if such a video even exists, and if so, where would I possibly be able to find such a valuable resource?

    Excuse me....you want 30 to 50 yards of additional length, but not 40 to 60? How does this make any sense? I suggest the following: If you are worried about 20 yards of additional length, forget about 50....it's not likely to happen.
    Also, don't think you'll find the answer in a video....get your butt to the driving range and get someone to help you a bit. Two things will happen - one, the solution may be quite simple, or two, you may be unable to achieve your goal, in which case you need to be happy with the length you have. Most seniors don't beat their opponents with length, but with consistency down the middle and marvelous short games.

    I think his point is that the videos that promise 50 - 60 yards longer aren't very realistic about what you can achieve.

    He'd like something a little more grounded in reality.

    As I said previously, "reality" is found at the practice range - not in a video.

    There's a great video out there called "How to Buy Non-Conforming Drivers and Golf Balls"
    it hosted by Larryrsf. You should check out his other title "How to Lower Your Handicap."

    I think that once you get to know Dorkman you will realize that this thread is his attempt at humour.
    I think it was in response to a spam post/thread a couple of days ago which was promoting a video that claimed to teach how to gain those distances plus 50,60, 70 etc.
    As a recent recipient of his sense of humour I feel I have some experience in judging this.

    Whoever decided to roll with JW Reece as an alter ego, good job. We need someone as self-righteously opinionated as Larry and as stupid as a Michael Jackson fan.

    Of course if JW Reece is being serious, I'd guess he's one of those who sold out the Michael Jackson memorial service at Staples Center.

    I think most of us southern californians would gladly come out of pocket to rebuild Staples if the terrorists would just show up at the right time and do their jobs. Come on Al Qaeda, we need you on this one. Bonus points for bagging the media idiots covering this from just outside.

    Actually, I believe there were two, if not three spam threads that all said the same thing. They'd promise to increase your driving distance 20, 30 or 50 yards, and all were started within about a 48 hour period. I guess as a newbie he hadn't seen the other threads, so he didn't get my feeble attempt at mirthmaking.

    I thought it was more like a baited ambush. Just lying in wait for the spammer or an idiot. Unfortunately someone sprung the trap early.
