hypothetical scenario... what do you do?

[krooster]

You're at a tournament, and faced with a long tunnel shot through the woods. Narrow fairway, but not ridiculously narrow so there is room for some small amount of lateral movement. It's long enough where you're not even thinking about carding a 2, you know that best case scenario even with a distance driver you're going to be left with an approach shot as the second shot, so the goal is securing a 3. The dense trees and foliage make going off the fairway a disaster that could easily turn into taking a 5 (or worse).

Do you throw a fairway driver with a flat release (or maybe hyzer-flip), or do you hyzer-flip an understable distance driver which would slightly decrease the length of your approach shot?

Why?

It's long enough where you're not even thinking about carding a 2,

If thats the case, im gonna throw very safe. a stable mid or fairway that I know I can place out there in the fairway.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Id probably hyzerflip a midrange straight. 2 solid 250' shots should get you anywhere you need for a 3 IMO.

 

[tstack10]

Is throw two controlled shots. Some slow driver or mid to give myself a shot to get close with my buzz that I can throw around 200 pretty straight. Whenever I go for ripping tunnel shots I get myself into trouble.

 

[mbressler13]

I am throwing my buzzz to a safe landing zone and going from there. No question. Play it safe. Cause you know that there will be a few players that try to get more distance and all they will do is get further into the rough.

 

[Old Dog]

I would probably throw my straightest flying mid which would be my Champ. Panther.

I would initially think to myself that I was going to throw a nice safe midrange shot as best I could down the middle and play for a long three. Then I would watch the other three guys on my card park 350' lasers right up the gut, panic, switch to a distance driver, and promptly griplock it into the first tree off the tee for a 7.

:clap:

Funny and sadly true too often for me.

 

[Broken Shoulder]

I would throw my opto pure.

 

[BirdieMachine]

Sounds like a Mid shot. Beat DX Roc.

 

[skizzle34]

It depends on actual distance. I probably throw my FD down the gut and hope for the best. No guarantee that two "safe" shots end up safe...

Yeah... probably this.

 

[Halcón]

Definitely a midrange shot. I'd go Axis, with a small hyzer angle so it flips up and rides flat. Or throw it flat, depending on the distance needed.

 

[Bamm]

80% power on a Lucid Truth, then depending on the distance either Truth again or Fuzion Judge then clean up with a wizard.

 

[adamcouture]

Keep it safe and simple. Throw what you know, something you can control.

 

[Dthunderchicken]

I love tunnel shots. When I'm in the woods I'm usually throwing an ESP Impact or a QMS.

Based on my tournament play today, it doesn't matter. I'm going off the fairway and taking a 5 (or worse).
:wall:

 

[DG addict24]

I would throw my river, so a straight flying fairway, and then just try to make a solid approach.

 

[justinf67]

im different. thumber. Best shot i ever learned. So safe and predictable

 

[pmatt1969]

If thats the case, im gonna throw very safe. a stable mid or fairway that I know I can place out there in the fairway.

i agree :thmbup:
