With my dying Nike SQ5900, I average around 310 or so plus roll. Just got fitted for the Ping i20 extra-stiff, and I was hitting that with a 310-315 carry (in the simulator of course, but it's a true clubfitting simulator. Not sure it's as accurate as a Trackman, but my readings seem to be pretty consistent with what I see on the course). Normal ball flight is a high draw, but I've been hitting a nice high cut almost on command lately, too.

Anybody want to trade some accuracy for a few MPH?

What's " baseball"?

Taking the above advice may lead to destruction of your golf game. Laughing at it may reduce stress.

My swing speed is usually between 95-100 and I can drive the ball about 230 (carry) to 240 depending on where/how it lands.

Erik, what are your stats now?

Yep, it's old. :D

I'm not sure what my stats are right now. Carry is about 270, swing speed is about 109-112. I'm probably not optimized but I scrape it around okay. :)

Something awkwardly tall people like me play when they're too slow for football and too goofy for basketball.

I'm not going left or right of those trees, ok? I'm going over those trees...with a little draw.
