I know what you mean.  On TV, the top players seem to hit PW about 160 yards on full swing.    You may be getting more out of your "soft" swing than you think.

The only guess I have is that you may be hitting more sweet spot with slower swing.  Sometimes, my 3/4 (shorter) swing goes as far as my full swing average.  As I become more consistent with my swing, I see more clear yardage variance between my 3/4 sing and a full one.

And I don't mean shorter swing I mean I don't swing as hard

You probably mean not as fast a rotation.

Here is my swing...Today i made an hit my second shot on a par 5 to 4 feet over water into the wind 240 out... Carried it to the back and used the slope to bring it to 4 feet...

The dots are where the ball was(240 into wind over water out)

I'm not sure what country you are in - but given that English would seem to be your second language, I'm not quite sure what you are saying.

In any case, the practice swing with the PW in one of your videos doesn't seem to be backing up what you are saying.

It's possible that something is being lost in your translation into English. Is that possible, do you think?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Since I posted the distances I use to hit my clubs , its changed a lot , im hitting my 6 iron a 190 yards now , and the real kicker is that I tried out Callaway X muscles backs last night and I was hitting the six iron 210 - 220 yards with them ,  I averaged 185 with pitching wedge , and 3 iron was 245  - 260 every shot ,   I definitely now what Im buying real soon , screw cavity backs  , :D

driver - 180

3 wood - 160

3 Hybrid- 145

4 iron - 130

5 iron - 120

6 iron - 110

7 iron - 100

8 iron - 90

9 iron - 80

PW - 65-70

GW - 55

SW - 40

Not a bad shank drive if you're getting 180 out of it. If you perfect that shank draw, you may get a few more yards though...

Yeah thats the issue for me. Those are just standard shank distances where I am lining up about 90 degrees left and shanking it down the middle. If I can get the shank draw going it would do wonders for my game. When I hit at the driving range the guy to left of me wouldn't be freaking out because I am aiming right at him

If I want it straight I will go 160 with my 7 iron. I wont push any further than that. You can base the other clubs from there. My driver? I take testosterone for medicinal reasons. I consistently blast em 300 plus whatever roll I get. Too bad I am not allowed to compete cause of the juice. My buddies really hate it and wont let me bet with them. lol
