I am curious how far most folks actually hit their clubs. Most the info I see is on the tour players. What about us real guys.

What distance do you typically hit...

Driver
3 wood
5 iron
6 iron
7 iron
8 iron
9 iron
P wedge
G wedge
S wedge
L wedge

Copy and paste if you want. I am interested to see how "real" people hit their clubs.

I will start....

Driver 275
3 wood 225
5 iron 195
6 iron 180
7 iron 165
8 iron 155
9 iron 145
P wedge 120-125
G wedge 105-110
S wedge 75-80
L wedge 50-60

I expect better players will have more exact info. I am still working on consistency, so I felt a range would be most accurate. In truth, it varies every time I hit the club and this makes it very hard to choose clubs. Depends on what kind of impact I get. You get the point.

Ok, so this is all just with the normal swing.

Driver - 220
3 wood - 215
3 iron - 190-200
4 iron - 180-190
5 iron - 170-180
6 iron - 160-170
7 iron - 140-160
8 iron - 135-160
9 iron - 120-135
P wedge - x -135

On a good day I can hit every club 1000 yards. I just choose not to.

These are "average well struck shots". If I either catch it really pure or go at it a little harder, it will be a little further. On the other hand, if I were to factor in mishits (toejobs, flares, hooks and the like) then my true statistical average shots are probably shorter.

Driver: 260-270
3 wood: 245
Hybrid: 225-230
4 iron: 210-215
5 iron: 195-200
6 iron: 185
7 iron: 170
8 iron: 155-160
9 iron: 145
P wedge: 135
G wedge: 120-125
S wedge: 105
L wedge: 85

Note: The shafts I use probably are too stiff for me by most standards. I just prefer heavier shafts that keep the ball down and under control, and also I figure that my swing speed will go up as I play more.

I tend to play more by feel than keeping my irons within yardage ranges. I will take the extra club and choke down before trying to juice it and get an extra 7 yards.

Yeah, sure.......

So true.....so true.....for some of us "old" guys it depends on what ailment is rearing it's rear that day....knees....back....wrist.....any number of excuses...

Right now I'm just getting acclimated to a completely new bag....oldest stick is my putter....a few months old. Yardages are being hashed out now. I've played 3 rounds with the driver, and 3 wood ......5 rounds with the 3 hybrid and irons & wedges.......maybe a dozen rounds or better with the 4 hybrid. The new bag is geared for ease of play....every stick offers much easier carries than I was getting prior. I'm enjoying the higher trajectories...even though half of these rounds have been in extreme winds....ironic that at times I have to work on flighting them lower....180 degrees from a month ago.
