Reading this thread I can't help but wonder if many of the responses are from people list their all time longest shot, are lying their asses off or just don't have a freaking clue how far they hit their clubs. Seriously, the vast majority of touring pros don't drive as far as the responders to this post and since when does half the free world hit 210 yard 5 irons?

Anyway, here's my numbers:.
Driver: 280
3 Wood: 232
5W (Tight Lies) 205
5 Iron: 170
6 Iron: 160
7 Iron: 150
8 Iron: 140
9 Iron: 130
PW: 120
52: 100
56: 75

I've done a little more playing since i last posted. The longest par 4 i have driven with my driver is slightly down hill and 442 yards with damp conditions after raining in the morning. Everyone i play with think i am the longest hitter they have ever seen. Last week i also played a 2 iron off the tee to come short of a 348 yard par 4 with a little down wind and i accidently drove the green and missed a woman by about 1 meter... Im having problems with my 50-150 yard shots because i hit my 52 wedge up to 150 yards and i just can't control the distance. I hit a 9 iron on the weekend from 170 yards and it went straight in the trees 30 yards over the back of the green (lost ball). I need to do something like shorten my swing to hit the ball not as far and keep it in play.

I played on the weekend and shot 12 pars, 3 birdies with 2x 3 putt and i finished with a N.R. because i hit 3 drives off of the golf course and into houses / roads way way off track. Im talking 300 yards right of target line...

I am big headed and i love it. Try it yourself and see how much your game improves.

Driver:200-210
3 wood: 175-190
3 Hybrid: 165
5 iron: 150
6 iron: 140
7 iron: 130
8 iron: 120
9 iron: 110
P wedge:100

These are generalizations BTW. I'm not one hundred percent sure how accurate these are because I just got new clubs a few weeks back.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

Zappa, are you carrying 15 clubs? naughty naughty!

Ha!.. I guess I am.

When I got my new irons I put the 4I in my bag, not realizing that was #15. I never use my 3W (wrong flex) or my 3H or 4I anyway. I should probably take out the 3H because it has the exact same distance as my 5W.

Note: My irons are brand new so these distances are a combo. of my old Nicklaus irons and the KE4s. The distances are my BEST estimate using the driving range. Can't wait to get a laser range finder so I can nail them down a little better.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
