Why are they long... fast twitch muscles, technique, strong legs, strong arms, core strength, conditioning, genetics?
For myself, I would say:

1) Technique
2) Proper fitting equipment (optimum loft, stiff shafts etc)
3) Conditioning

Genetics. Who, on this forum, can throw a 95 mph fast ball? The assumption is; of the thousands of Practice Golf Balls we hit on a monthly basis, one would guess that if by accident, perfect technique occurred at least once or twice, then we would hit one or two 300 yard drives. But, this isn't the case.

Certainly, proper technique and conditioning have a major role in helping one reach his/her potential.
