Abstract
The aim of this study was determine to effect of shaft length and physical condition on golf driving performance(head speed, distance and direction). A range of drivers with length between 44 inch, 45 inch and 46 inch limit imposed by R&A rules limited were assembled and evaluated. Club head speed and drive distance and accuracy were determined three category 27 PGA pro golfer (handicaps 0, and height $170cm{\geq}171-175{\geq}175-180cm$) who golf performance. As a results follow : Head speed was significantly difference with 44, 45 between 46inch(p<.01). Distance was significantly difference with 44 between 46inch(p<.05). And direction was significantly difference with 44, 45inch between 46inch(p<.05). Head speed according to height was general similarity among shaft length in 170cm, 171-175cm. Distance were general similarity among shaft length in 170cm, and significantly difference with 44inch between 46inch in 171-175cm(p<.01), and significantly difference with 45inch between 46inch in 176-180cm(p<.05). Direction were significantly difference with 44inch between 46inch in 170cm(p<.05), but do not significantly difference with 44inch between 46inch in 176-180cm, 176-180cm. These results show that shaft length and height can affect head speed, distance and direction.
