I usually avg about 95-100 with my driver and i usually hit on average 250-270. Longest was 296.

irons i have never measured swing speed.

I know this is an old thread but my swing speed is about the same. What ball do you use?

Alot of people either don't really know their swing speeds or are confused about their distances.  270 yard drives with 95mph SS?  I'll have some of that please.

I land my 4 iron 205. driver only lands 245. I'm told this doesn't make any sense.

 

I know nothing of swing speeds. Maybe some people hit irons better/faster?

Youre a 21 hdcp carrying a 4 iron 205 and a driver 245??  Are those consistent distances or your best strikes that go that distance? Carrying a driver 245 is plenty of distance and more than enough to handle any course around 6500 yards

Yes. My 4 iron is consistent but not my driver. I have been playing evenings with a box of balls, a range finder and walking distances off to try and figure out my distances. I just got new forged irons. Could be helping. if I don't hit my driver OB I'm landing 240. My big swing hits go further but I'm trying to figure out hitting fairways. Maybe I'm scared of the driver and not swinging as fast/confident.

I started an obsessive approach to learning golf in November. I could always occasional hit bombs with any club but never knew why. My first 20 scores were 110-120. Now I'm consistently breaking 100 and if I didn't hit some drives OB and made putts I would be breaking 90. Really just started hitting this far this last month. I think it's going to take a long time to get my handicap down from all my crap scores.

Still carrying these numbers. And still melting down on 3 or 4 holes.

 

I'll buy you a round next time you're in Orlando and you can witness my frustration first hand.

 There is way more involved then X club head speed equals X distance.. Spin rate . angle of attack ..launch angle.. all those things come into play..
