With a full swing:

driver-350 yds
3 iron-280 yds
6 iron-230 yds
7 iron-220 yds
8 iron-210 yds
9 iron-190 yds
pw-170 yds
sw-150 yds

I very rarely swing at 100% though because it's too hard to control the spin...

Accuracy is more important than distance. I know a guy that hits his driver 220 yards and is a scratch player because his short game is good.

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

I almost puked when I saw that. That's awesome though.

For me, it's: Driver - 250 3-wood - 235 2h - idk yet because I haven't hit the course with it 3h - 205 4i - 185 5i - 175 6i - 165 7i - 155 8i - 145 9i - 135 W - 125 UW - 110-115 SW - 95 I think there's something weird with my distance gaps though...like how every single one is 10 yards with my irons. I'm not complaining, but it seems like everyone else gets exponentially longer with their longer irons. Could I be doing something wrong? What's really weird is that I hit all these clubs (except the driver) the same distance regardless of the temperature.

big bertha 9 degree driver = 275 average
macgregor persimmon driver = 250 average
3 wood = 230
5 wood = 210

i got a set of ben hogan forged apex blades for christmas, which i'm still learning how to hit. i don't get nearly as much distance out of them as i did with my ping i5 irons, but i have a lot more accuracy with the blades, which is what i'd prefer anyway.

a few of the apex yardages...

4 iron = 170
7 iron = 150
PW = 100

the ping i5 irons...

4 iron = 180-185
7 iron = 155-160
PW = 110

I wish my distances were a lot more consistant but each of those can range + or - 10% or so.

    • @Philip Belgium,  If I haven't already, Welcome to TST.  Your injury sounds serious and I hope you fully recover.   Thanks for sharing your story.  ..... each day get 1-2% better.   (A ray of sunshine and a positive outlook)
    • Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.  
    • Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster. 
    • Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit. 
    • We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.
