I disagree. Taller people can use longer shafts without decreasing accuracy. Minimal advantage? I dunno. I consider an extra 20-30 yards off the tee a huge advantage because that means shorter irons and more accuracy/ball height/spin on the approach shot.

A lot of people underestimate driver but it affects all aspects of the game in the long run.

You assume too much. It IS tougher to maintain accuracy with a longer club. Faster swings or swings with larger arcs require a greater amount of control and timing. Furthermore, whatever you have to gain by hitting the ball a little further, in almost every situation, you'd be better off having improved placement as opposed to slightly longer distance.

Why didn't John Daly win more?

I don't think it's that tough to get a few extra yards in a situation where it would really help - most of the time I'm swinging about 80-85% anyways.

Because he was an alcoholic.

I don't assume anything. It's a fact that longer shafts improve distance. Taller people can hit the ball further because they use longer shafts by default. Literally the clubs are fitted to them with longer shafts. 6'3''-6'5'' seems to the perfect golf height to me. Anything over that and height starts to affect the wedges in a negative way.

So prove to me that this longer distance doesn't come at the expense of accuracy.

I don't know a damn thing about golf but I can Google stuff, and I found a website that agrees with guido.

Discuss.

I can attest personally to the trade-off of a longer club. I carry an extra driver that is about 5 inches too long for me (affectionately nicknamed The Spanker) that I like to sometimes use when there's a nice open fairway. The fact that I can occasionally spank it 350 yards with the club is outweighed heavily by how many times I've found the rough with it. Granted I am referring to a club that is "too" long for me, but the same duality exists even when we're talking about a club that is the right length for a person.
