How far do you hit your clubs? - Page 26

With my last set of 09 Burners, I thought I was a pro.  I could swing like a gorilla and carry a wedge 135-140 pretty consistently.  Of course no one told me the wedge wasn't actually a wedge.  Now I've got Nike VR Pro irons and my carry distances are:

 

 

Driver  - been a long time since i could hit it properly, not sure

5wood - 210

4 iron - 190

5 iron - 180

6 iron - 170

7 iron - 160

8 iron - 150

9 iron - 140

PW - 120

GW(52) - 105

SW(56) - 90

LW(60) - 75

Average distances (yards) with a controlled swing and decent contact - 

 

Driver: 210 (work in progress)

3 Wood: 210

5 Wood: 190

4 Hybrid: 180

5 Iron: 160

6 Iron: 150

7 Iron: 140

8 Iron: 130

9 Iron: 120

PW: 110

GW: 100

LW: ?

 

I'm not (too) embarrassed or bothered of my lack of distance, but I think I can and should learn to get another 10-20 from my driver. Also, there's a gap of 20 yards between my 4 hybrid and my 5 iron. This can cause problems on a couple of the holes I play. Don't know whether to fill in the gap with 5 hybrid or try to get a bit more distance from my irons. I can easily add another 10 yards on each iron if I hit with a flatter trajectory but I prefer the higher shots. Hell, at my skill level I'm just happy that my distances are somewhat predictable.

This is where I'm at currently (RBZ woods, BurnerPlus irons) but I am looking at upgrading my irons to the AP1's. Yesterday I was hitting the vokey 58* 100 yds and the ap1 6i nearly 170 yds (when hit well). Lighter/shorter shafts....so obviously I'm gonna have to re-gap from the ground up.

Driver - 220-240
3W - 200-220
5W- 200-210
5H - 185
5i - 170
6i - 160
7i - 150
8i - 140
9i - 130
PW - 120
AW - 90-110
SW - 50-75
LW - 40-60
