Do you consider yourself a 'big' hitter?

[Aaronsrix17]

I duno my friend is 13 years old and a 25 handicap and he hits the ball about 270 average and his PW 135 so yes I consider him a long hitter. BUT HE IS ONLY 13!

I guess I would consider myself a long hitter. I average around 300 on my drives (SS120-125), and hit my PW 150. I play Rifle 6.5's on my Titleist ZM's.

I think with an aging back, accuracy is more what i need to focus on. I would rather be in the fairway short rather than in the woods long.

58 - 125
PW - 160
7i - 190
4i - 220
3h - 250
Dr - 310

I would trade about 15-20 yds on each club to be hittin them straight though.

I know a lot of big hitters, but I rarely get to talk to them from tee-to-green. They spend a lot of time looking fo their big hits in the woods, in the rough, and out of bounds.

[Chilidipper]

My friend who is 5 ft 10 150 lbs hits his 7i 200 yards no lie. Thats a monsterous hitter. Id say a big hitter goes 300 off the tee with driver carries about 250 with 3 wood and hits his 5i over 200 yards.

I on the other hand hit as follow.

Driver 260
3 wood 225
3hybrid 205-210
4hybrid 195-200
5I 175
6i 165
7i 155
8i 140
9i 120
pw 105
54 100
58 75

I dont consider myself a big hitter, I am only 5'5" and weigh 138 lbs. But I seem to average about 240 -250 on my drives, so I am pretty pleased with myself.

Im not long at all maybe 240 yards but i seem to hit my irons pretty long compared to the guys who are hitting 280. PW 130, 8i 150, 6i 175 4i 195. but to me it seems to me that it is better to be long in the irons and short of the tee than the other way around. Think about it if someone is hitting it 20yrds past you but your both hitting the same club into the green it doesnt make any difference. And on par threes you will have a club that is easier to control.

What that says isn't necessarily that you are long with your irons. It just might be that your irons are numbered stronger than others. I thought that like you, a friend of mine was crazy long with his irons until we found out that his 8I was the same loft as my 7I. He was still pretty long, but not as much as we had thought. I've never paid any attention to that since, and I certainly never bother to check what club another player hit for a given distance.

Not saying that you can't be that long, just that differences in equipment CAN play a part.

he might have a big drive but seeing as he is a 25 handicap he either doesn't keep it straight or has a terrible short game so it show long isn't always best but its nice to have

[hackerandloveit]

I am no where close to a big hitter. The farthest I can poke a drive is maybe 260-270. I am usually around the 230-250 range. My irons are not very long either. I can hit an 8I about 140 to 150. Beyond that my irons tend to go haywire. I will usually try to play smart and not hit a lower iron a ton to get close to the green when a 8I or 7I will get me inside 100yards. Rather play smart and get a better score than hitting from the sticks.

[Golfiante]

I'm not a long hitter, but I am longer than the 90% of people I play with

[wedge player]

i believe myself to be a big hitter average drive 290 i have twice drove the green at 370 my nine iron goes 150 ive personally never met anyone as longas i am

[tim31x]

i consider myself a long hitter. i hit the driver 285 on a carry, over 300 with a roll. hit my 2iron hybrid 220, my 5wood about 230ish, and my 3wood 240-245. from 140 i hit a softer PW, ill occassionaly rip a 52* in there but i'd rather take something off a pw then rip a wedge. my game is normally driver to wedge or driver to low iron depending on what tees i play from on par 4's, and driver to 4iron or hybrid on par 5's.

I am not a long hitter, even though people tell me I am... I know what a real big hitter can do -- and I'm not one. I hit lots of drivers well over 300 yards but so what... When it comes to being long, I think the real test of "Big" is how far someone can carry the ball in the air. When you can frequently carry 290 to 300 yards with a 45 inch driver, that is BIG.
