dont have the technology but go to kingsacre from time to time to break drivers, i dont have a handicap any longer. 

was 3 handicap aged 16 best i ever got to - played to 4 for about 12 years.

most ld guys are pretty good golfers  

Dont have handicaps as pro longdrivers and cannot hold a golf handicap 

adam is a very good golfer and would be i would guess a plus 2 -

working with the swing you already have - try and stay loose this is main thing i think of before i step up to the ball - when you practice this you get tremendous speed, loose muscles are fast - perfect example is looking at 100meter sprinters they always look to get loose before settiling into the blocks but they are also pumped up for explosive power.

Make sure you hit up on the ball and use the correct loft - i know you have heard this before

BUT the reason many people hit 3 woods as far as drivers is due to bulge and roll on club face of driver, they are contacting ball too high on the face increasing effective loft and assume that is how far they hit the club - the fact is they may have changed their 9 degree into a 12 and hit the best drives from too high up the club (not sweet spot)

this means that distance is being lost as the sweetspot on a driver is a pinprick and deviation away costs power so in the example above if they got fitted so they hit correct part of club with 12 degree driver the ball would go significantly further.

NOT KEITH

Technology, e.g. launch monitors, with speed, launch angle, spin rates etc etc must have made a big impact in the long drive sector I guess?

Technology is there so if you dont use it you are sacrificing distance - it really helps you understand your swing.
