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

[saevel25]

It does look like he can get it out pretty far, though.

Jamie Sadlowski.can probably nudge it 250?

Sadlowski hits his putter over 250 yards!!

These were recorded at Golfers world  (indoors) on their swing machines and on the Driving range under the auspices of my coach.

I've had to replace my irons and woods as they got damaged..bent at the hozel.

I now have his brother's (also a pro..but on the tour) , then sponsored Hogan Apex tour blades with x100 shafts.

The putter is heavier than the 7i.

Here's the link where it mentions that he hits the 7i 240-ish.

Look at the arc Sadlowski gets on his swing compared to Neal. It's not even close.

Dude, I can play with X100 shafts. That's not a big deal.

Thus far, as I said before, you're not offering anything that even approaches "proof."

Probably about 200 degrees more?

This guy is obviously messing with everyone.  Never thought about creating an account just to mess with other guys here?  It gets pretty funny sometimes. ;)

They quicker you ignore him, the better.

WHO STILL CALLS IT A ONE METAL!!!

I think I'll adopt this.  To buddy, "You going three wood or one metal on this hole?"

Gorilla James, hitting 6i 260 yds.

Exactly. Best evidence to date that @NealR is off in someway or another.

Maybe @NealR was hitting it down a blacktop road?

[Always an 80]

Just switched from 1973 Hogan Apex blades to new Callaway Razr.  BUT...I changed my swing to accommodate a 50 plus body.  Now the old man easy well timed swing.  Works well.

Distance basically the same with less effort.  7 iron about 150.  6 about 160. Wedge under 100.  Driver my strong point.  Still hitting 250 to 280 with new 9 degree club.

Shortened my backswing on all clubs and got things alot straighter.

Putter....varying distances and barely none of them hitting the hole on the first putt.  /This is my game killer!!

No matter tho.  Enjoy being out in nature,  Quiet.  Serene.  Talk to the squirrels.

Golf is good.

Agreed, but what about the bunnies? And the deer?

What is the attraction for these guys to come in these types of forums and strut around just regular folk who want to talk about their simple golf game and other golf related topics, it really gets boring and downright tiring.

You only listed 12 clubs with a gaping hole from 115-145, your wedge distances seem a bit short for how far you say you hit a 9 and 8 iron.

I agree. Those distances from 7-9 iron are almost identical to mine, but my 46 degree PW goes about 130. Is your PW part of the same set? It seems surprising you would only hit it 115.

Yes sorry, I left the 5W out, which I hit 215 yards - which makes it 13 clubs + putter.

My wedges are Vokey SM4's, with the normal steel shafts. My 7 - 9 irons are Taylormade Superburners with stiff custom graphite shafts (trying to establish some kind of continuity of 'feel' [I dont take divots and pick the ball clean] between the 3 irons and 4 hybrids), which, perhaps because of the less weight, I do hit proportionally further than the wedges. It does leave me with a problematic 30 yard window between the 9 Iron and PW, which I normally play with a chuck down 8 Iron. I can hit the PW up to 125 yards though, but then I force the club and the normal 2 - 3 meter draw becomes a 6 meter hook. Thanks for picking up the club I left out.
