Pretty close. A little short on the 8-PW, but I tend to get a little agressive with those, and am more inclined to 'back off' a long iron more for control. But still, pretty close.

No more accurate for me than just assuming about 10 yards per club (it "calculated" 13 yards IIRC). It over-estimated my driver pretty substantially. Cute.

Seems to be the case for me as well.  Woods are about 15 yards longer, irons about half a club short.

Pretty darned close except for the sand wedge is about 10-15 yards long for me (it would be close for a GW though).

I wondered about this.  It said my driver distance was 283 and my PW was 112 which is just a touch short.  I never really hit my wedges very far.  120 is a pretty long PW for me.  I still play the 48 degree variety, if it's changed..  Regardless, I've never been able to hit my wedges 135-145 like a lot of pros.  I just can't seem to get myself to swing hard with a wedge and I've never felt like it was justifiable to try....  I was a little surprised to see that a 280 drive is what someone who hits a wedge 115 or so would be expected to hit.

hmm, the only number that was pretty spot on was the original 5 Iron distance. Driver end too long, short irons too short in general. I play a lot by feel anyway and can hit a club with a spread of 20-25 yds depending on the shot I want; draw, fade, knockdown, etc...

Part of that seems common enough (hitting the driver shorter and the long irons longer), but it makes me question the accuracy of the information people are providing regarding their true stock 5-iron distance, their body type, skill level, and approach to the game.

What I get from this thread is that, compared to me at least, people tend to use stronger lofts in their irons (or really go after those wedges) and could probably use a driver fitting.

I see it about the same as you.  About 20 yards long on the driver and 15 on the 3W.  Most of the irons were in the ball park.

Why do you say "could probably use a driver fitting"? The driver was a bit long, long irons were spot on, and short irons were short for me. I guess it depends on a person's definition of "average." I'm 6'0, 190lbs, is that average height/weight? I play to a 15; is that sometimes erratic or average? I'm hoping you have good news for me in that a driver fitting will add 25-35 yards to my drives.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • WUTiger
      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
