Just about all of the elite juniors that I teach now hit the ball quite far, often carrying their drives 280-300 yards. Distance will never really be the big problem for these players; rather, it will be their ability to control distance, direction and trajectory that will determine their ability to raise the level of their play. Connor came to me for the first time from Richmond just over a year ago after having some success as a 15- year old but needing help to make his swing and his ball striking more consistent.
