Average Distances - How Far Do You Hit Each Club? (And Don't Lie!)

[2rakez]

Driver: 285
3 wood 255

2h 240
3i 220

4i 205
5i 195
6i 185
7i 175
8i 160
9i 150
Pw 135
Gw 120
Lw  100

Considering ditching my 3 wood and going with a 4 wedge lineup because there aren't many situations for me where the distance loss from hitting hybrid instead of 3 wood is detrimental and I think I'd benefit from having a bridge between my 52* gw and 58* lw (would go 52, 56, 60 if I switched)

[AllenEagledOnce]

I'm an inconsistent ball striker but I've recorded "rough" distances (more times than not) on the range. There have been times where I've hit the ball about 205 with my 6i but it's very rare. Carry distance: D:275-280 3W: 250 5w: 235 4i: 215 5i: 200 6i: 185 7i: 175 - this one I know is 100%. love the 7. 8i: 160 9i: 150 Pw: 135 52*: 120 56*: 100

I think there are some on here who have either exaggerated their numbers or put the longest number they have hit with the club, even if it was only once. We also have to consider the lofts of the clubs they are using. Some irons these days have such strong lofts that a 7 iron almost becomes a 6 iron. So there is a lot to how some people hit there irons so far ( well how they claim to hit them so far). The loft on my irons are a degree stronger than most, mainly because I hit the ball very high so I wanted them one degree stronger to combat my super high ball flight. My 7 iron is my 170 yard (about 155m) club. I can get it to go up to around 175 if I need to, but 170 is just a solid swing. I don't really see a point into claiming you hit the ball farther than you do, your just going to hurt yourself and your game and your scores by leaving a lot of approach shots short.

That would be an interesting thread!  For me it would be like

Gosh! IF only I could do that every time...

Ground is HARD right now! Anyone noticing above normal distances? I'm seeing about 30+ yards of extra roll.

Yep, I hit a 3-hybrid about 30 yards further last night.

LW - when I skull the ball, 120 and I average a lot of skulls vs solid shots.

[jackieMoon]

With the addition of a bushnell this year, I'm pretty confident in my yardages Lw- 50 and in Sw-50 to100 Gw- 120 Pw- 135 9 - 145 8-165 7-180 6- 190 5-205 4-215 3- 225 3 wood 260 from tee and deck Driver- I have no idea. Hit a 307 today but probably average with roll out 280 Putter- deadly from inside 1 foot

[MiniJeffrey]

It alsy varies from day to day. Some days I just can't seem to get distances and other days it goes like nothing.

Weird sport :)

Not down here.  I can back a driver up in the fairway right now.  Very soft due to a LOT of rain lately.  Courses play long for shorter hitters like me these days.

[SafeBogey]

These are the 10 clubs I will be playing with tomorrow. I've thrown out the 3 wood, 4 wood, and 4 iron from my bag for the time being due to lack of consistency.

Driver - 220

3 hybrid - 210

5 iron - 190

6 iron - 175

7 iron - 165

8 iron - 155

9 iron - 140

PW - 125

SW - 85

My Finally Consistent Average Distances yay!!!

I currently PLAY Tour Edge Exotics CNC Forged irons 3-PW... I haven't hit them on anything but a simulator yet... and we all know how inflated those numbers are... but I'll get back to you after the Ithaca City Golf Championship basically after Labor Day here in the U.S. I emphasized PLAY so WUTiger won't be offended

Power Play System Q Hybrid Irons 52' 60' F2 Wedges DR 235 5w - 215 9w - 190 4H - 180 5H - 170 6H - 160 7I - 150 8I - 140 9i - 130 PW 120 AW -110 52 - 90 60 -70 I don't carry 3w because I get as much distance with 5w and hit the 5w higher which is what I needed. The 9w is giving me the distance I would expect from 7w so I didn't get one. The hybrid irons I built myself and are the best addition to my bag over the last ten years. My current Hndcp index is about 7.8 going down with the Callaway FT Optiforce Woods. I have gained 10-15 yards in distance this year with my irons and have no explanation why. It has surprised me. I live near sea level and that hasn't changed.

[avghack]

If you think you drive it further than these guys consistantly you're high. The PGA avg is 288. You don't play 7200 yd courses every day. If you did you could just add about 10 to your handicap. http://www.cbssports.com/golf/stats/stats_leaders/PGA/2013/drivingDistance

Only when there are about 50 people watching you, and it's a really easy slightly uphill lie with only 15 yards to the pin.
