    After a little searching, I found there's already a lengthy discussion about the same things here:

    It seems that your swing speed is a factor, I don't know what your tempo is like, but maybe it's something to look into? 

    There's some good information and discussion overall, so hopefully you may find the solution you need. Good luck with it, and have fun. 🙂

Okay, first off thanks for ALL the replies, good information to know. Secondly……I’m wondering if any spin that you put on that initial drive helps to achieve the long drive criteria? Or does it negate it? 🤔 Or is it possibly just buggy? I only ask because I can hit the first drive off the tee with driver using the drive ability putting spin on the ball while it’s in the air and then the ball lands in the fairway and stops at say 320 yards and then does count as a long drive, but then on the next hole I do pretty much the exact same thing but the ball stops at around 302 yards and doesn’t count as a long drive 🤔 So in other words does the ball have to get to 300+ yards naturally?

If you are using the stick to swing everything must total over 100%.  By that I mean if power is 101%, but your downswing speed is only 98%, your total power is  99%.
