Why a Driver System?
Ask any amateur golfer how they would like to improve and most will say they’d like to be more consistent. Ask those same golfers what it is they really want to do more consistently and they’ll answer in terms of length – a desire to hit longer shots more consistently, especially longer drives. If there’s a possibility to be much longer – 20, 30, 40 or more yards longer off the tee – there there’s an authentic chance to improve the way that golfer plays the game (see testimonials). Shorter shots into the green mean more greens hit, offering better opportunities for lower scores.

Our Drivers are designed to give you that length consistently!  Here’s how:

D = 1/2M x V2
That’s the scientific formula for distance. It says Distance is equal to one half of Mass (weight) times Velocity (speed) squared. So you can increase distance by:

1. Adding Mass (weight) or by

2. Increasing Velocity (speed)

By the formula you can see that if you add weight, only ½ of that addition is effective, but if you add speed, that increase will be squared. So it doesn’t take a genius scientist to see the most effective way to increase Distance is to increase Speed. For an engineer the physics are easy. The hard part is a design that is stable enough to consistently delivery that speed.

The Pat Simmons Drivers are a system where each component is designed and engineered to compliment the other components of the system creating a synergistic condition of actions that is greater than the sum of its individual parts. All with the idea of increased club head speed for maximum distance. The Driver System consists of three areas that are proprietary to Pat Simmons Golf – the Head, the Shaft, and the BOLO Balancing to which each club is subjected as a part of our strict tolerance controls insuring consistent quality and performance.

The Pat Simmons Driver System Consists of Three Elements

THE HEAD:

Each head is corrugated 9 times to produce the hardest, strongest, most stable head in the game. You know the strength corrugation gives to cardboard. Imagine that strength in Beta Titanium. It allows us to make a head up to 10 grams lighter, which allows you to swing the club faster with less effort. It means the head will not deform on impact, so the face has less tendency to throw the ball off line. It means toe or heel hits will still get great distance but more importantly will still be in the fairway. It means the body of the head is extremely rigid, providing the face with a platform for spring effect (COR) that is the maximum allowed by the USGA. Our Drivers are made in three different head sizes – 380cc, 420cc, and 460cc.



THE SHAFT:

The shaft in our system was designed by Pat after working with long drive champions. It is made exclusively for us and for the heads in this system. It is super light for faster swing speed with less effort. The determining factor in swing speed is shaft length. Our standard driver length is 47 inches, which again produces more speed with less effort but swings and feels like clubs 3 or 4 inches shorter. Our graphite design of 50+ million modulus of elasticity (most other good shafts are around 30 million) is combined into a construction envelope for extreme strength then formed to our proprietary power bias for stability. Our club remains stable at 47 inches when most other shafts lose their stability between 45 and 46 inches. Our shaft provides the most efficient conversion of torque into thrust creating crushing power with minimum effort. Our shaft is expensive, but when you hit it you’ll agree it’s worth every penny!

BOLO BALANCING SYSTEM:

Our proprietary multi-point BOLO balancing system (like a gyron in a guidance system) makes a longer shaft (which produces greater distance) feel and swing like a shorter shaft. It’s a concept we know many great professionals have used in their clubs, that we’ve refined to allow us to “tune” our drivers to achieve maximum performance.
 

SUMMARY

The Pat Simmons driver system produces a club which is:

Because of the stability of this shaft, counter balancing, light shaft weight and head weight, it’s easy to hit this club consistently “on the screws”. The longer lever action created in this system allows the average golfer to increase head velocity even with slower swing speeds producing ripping drives longer and straighter than before. The BOLO also dampens shock/vibration for improved feel.

Remember: distance is produced by multiplying ½ Mass times Velocity Squared – we’ve developed the system that will allow you to get maximum velocity with minimum effort.

Try it for the longest drives ever!
