Hi all,

With my driver i can get about 255 yards, with my wedge only 110 at most. And 165 with my 5 iron.
With my 3 wood i can reach 100-102 mph of clubhead speed.

Do you think irons distance is appropiate compared to the driver one?

I think my iron game needs to improve a lot, specially contact (hitting down, etc...).

Thanks in advance

I'm guessing that's your PW that goes 110. I'm about in those ranges for those distances. My CHS for the driver is in the low 90's. I get 250+ with carry and roll not just carry.

Good drive from me is 250-260, average drive not counting mishits in the 235 range.

5I plays 170

PW plays 115

Since I have no problems with my distances I think you are fine.

I'm not sure, everyone has a different swing speed and trajectory of their impact.

Put it this way, I changed my swing last year and hit ball first, thus compressing it against the ground, and found that I hit every single iron in my bag about 10-15 yards longer.
It's up to you what feels comfortable. Personally I would sacrifice 5-10 yards for less of a draw. Sometimes it becomes a hook. Sometimes I play the draw and push it left without any draw at all.

Hi all,

102 mph is what I consider to be great clubhead speed with your 3 wood.

You are getting some solid speed....maybe it's a shaft fit issue????

I hope it is not a shaft issue, i bought the clubs just 2 months ago.
Shafts are steel, regular flex.

Hi all,

The problem you got in my opinion is making proper contact.

if you can reach 102 MPH of club head speed with a 3 wood you should hit 105+ easy with a driver. If that is the case you should be hitting the driver more than 255. Probably more like 270. If you can hit the driver 270, you should be able to hit your irons quite a bit further. Basically, contact is key. I can swing 110+ plus I'm better off swinging 100 and making great contact.

Those numbers seem goofy to me.

If that is accurate with you 3W, you would carry that close to 250 with good launch conditions. That would put your Driver at 270. With a good bounce you would hit alot of drives around 300.

I carry my driver about 250. I hit my PW 125. 8I 150. My driver swing speed is right at 100.

The numbers are reasonable. I am not sure about the head speed. If you are doing these all the time, you definitely can play well.

Like you said, work on consistency and you should be good.

I can see my short game is improving, as I have fewer putts per hole. I attribute this to getting up and down more often due to better chipping. I hink my fairway stats are misleading, because I'm actually driving the ball better this year. I've had a lot of good drives in the rough leaving short wedges.

Switching to new irons has hurt my driving accuracy and my GIR. I used to hit 4i off the tee and find the fairway 80% of the time. Now, my accuracy with iron off the tee is almost the same as withdriver. Its getting better though.

Seems i better check the way i contact the ball. Would be great if with my current clubhead speed i hit longer with my irons.

Thank you all for your help.

    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
