“You are going into the ball with an intention to hit it hard but solid, not straight,” Dechathipat said. We asked Dechathipat what she'd tell an average golfer who was looking to gain distance and she shared the following drill, which she uses for long drive but can have benefits for average golfers, too. Dechathipat says to warm-up enough that you’re breaking a little sweat. While a lot of the changes long drive competitors make to their equipment, swings, and training regimens are too drastic for average golfers, this drill can help you build swing speed—and swing speed builds distance. In 2021, she finished second in the Pro Long Drive Association’s World Championship, with a longest drive of 324 yards. But she soon realized that real gains in power actually happen on the range.

Zipse’s continued commitment to prioritizing hydrogen has become an increasingly outlier position in the automotive world. “There is a belief in the group that this is maybe the long-term future.” BMW has dabbled with the idea of using hydrogen for power for years, even though it is obscure and niche compared to the current enthusiasm surrounding vehicles powered by electricity.
