Where did you get those numbers? Just wondering?

I know that.. But I don't think those stats are right .. It does not sound right to me. I Have fit around 2,000 with the Vector LM. Unless its not very accurate!!!

I find that I need to be around 118 with a ball speed of 169-170 to get the ball over 300 yards. Depending on spin rate. Then on the 5 iron I would be willing to bet it needs to be closer to 105-109 to get what he is saying!! I know I have not fit anyone for about a year. But Damn did golf clubs get that much better since I left club fitting?

Been (quite) a while and I only did the 5-iron but, it clocked at 105. The 210 range was the distance I was told. For what it's worth...

P.S. My clubs haven't gotten any better. Or, maybe it's the guy swinging them...

    • Well I think I should be really looking forward in the next 6 months, I'm currently on the mend from surgery to my left bicep tenodesis and rotator cuff,  golf has been on the sidelines for way too long like 2 years. Prior to my course being closed permanently I did manage shooting sub par on the front 9 three times , 35 twice and 34 once which was for me very impressive on a course that was 139 slope at that time. Besides some nice memories my daughter wants to take the game back up again and that is something that has me very happy I honestly thought she lost her interest when she was around 12 or 13 and I'm not the type to try and force her to do things.
