Hi all, can anyone give me an average club distance that i should be hitting with these clubs:

Hybrid,6i 7i, 8i,9i,pw

What someone who is a beginner (been playing for 6 months now)  should hit these clubs ? I found, for example that my pw goes about 110 yards and my 9i goes about 120

Is that good for a beginner, or i need to work on it ?

Thanks !

Driver: Callaway ft5
Fairway Wood: Willson Ultra
Hybrid: Willson Ultra 4h
Irons: Nike Vrs X
Wedges: Nike Vrs X
Sand Wedge: Willson Harmonized 56

Depends is the only right answer. You need to worry about consistency and proper gapping throughout your bag. Your distances depend on your physical abilities, balls, and specific club design. As long as you have about 10-15 yards between your clubs, especially at the high end, it's ok. If you're an able bodied fellow, I could see you hitting a 9 at least 130 with the caveat that that corresponding increase needs to hold throughout the set. I can delofy my 9 into a 7 and hit it 20 yards farther but that's harder with your 5 or hybrid.

It will be a while before you have a reliable average. Even then moving target. I use Game Golf and my club performance varies with each round.

Answer to both questions is a resounding yes. Those are very respectable distances for a beginner AND you most definitely need to work on it. (You never won't need to work on it if improving is your main goal) ;)

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
