Longest driver set up you have ever hit?

[revkev]

This is totally age driven. I hit a wooden driver well longer than anything I’ve gamed the past 15 years. 
 

I played baseball in college, had strong forearms and was very long relatively speaking.  That has changed with age.

TM SLDR with a Matrix Ozik white, playing at 45.5”. There were rounds where I couldn’t hit a fairway and some rounds where I struggled to just stay on the hole I was supposed to play, but on that rare occasion when the planets and stars aligned…it was a low spinning, high launching missile.

Probably my old Tony Penna persimmon driver from the mid-eighties. I was a bit younger. BTW, if you've never hit a good persimmon driver, you should find one and check it out. They seem impossible to hit, but it's what you're used to.

Well, it all goes with age…

At 21 I hit a green from 355 yards with a small, steel Golfsmith driver head that had a Dynamic Gold steel shaft.

In my 30s I drove two greens at 360 with a Nakashima NP1 9* head with a Proforce Blue shaft.

In my 40s I hit a ball on a par 5 “long drive” hole during a scramble that went 355. Ping G30 head, Xphlexxx Agera shaft. I also hit a drive on a par 5 in the City tournament that went 362 with a Nakashima NTec 2.85 head and a House of Forged Express shaft. That club played at 47”, only long shaft I’ve ever had.

Since I’ve turned 50, now 52, I hit a drive 361 yards on the 18th hole at our public course with my Honma TR20 8* driver which had the Ventus Black 7X shaft. 

All I can say is I wish I had today’s technology when I was 20!!!!!

 

Late to this party....

My first thought was along the lines of your post.  I was quite a bit longer in my younger days than I am now at nearly 58.  

My longest drives in my peak years were with SMT 455DB, Nemesis, or Encore clubheads.  Not sure I'd call any of them the longest, I found the Encore was a little spinny for me in spite of it producing my personal best non-cart-path-aided drive.  I used to be pretty long with a Golfsmith XPC Tour Steel.  And the ultimate piece of resistance (sic), my longest non-cart path aided drive of the last six seasons was with a Ping Zing Blonde laminate, green dot, KT-M shaft.  

Kind of hard to say. 

I'm getting some interesting results right now out of my Original One.  It might be longer for me than anything else I've got lying around...

Two drivers come to mind:

1.  Titleist 905R with the blue/gold stiff shaft in it.  I could fly distances with it that were amazing.

2.  Adams 9064 proto head on an Aldila green Xstiff.  That deep face was so easy to hit.  Still have that combo and going to give it to a son soon.

Biggest secret, for me, with the LONG Ball.......was I was in my 30's.!!!!!!!!

It would be a JDM Mizuno Jpx 825 stiff flex, it was like hitting with a wet noodle. When you get the timing right I was going 350 a couple of times.
