What is your guys' ratio for AVERAGE driver distance and weight?
For those that are confused take your distance divided by weight and that should give you a number....
I'm around 125 pounds and my average distance is close to 230
thus, my ratio is 1.84

for comparison & fun, some tour players:

Tiger Woods : 1.63
Camilo Villegas: 1.86
Adam Scott: 1.77
Phil Mickelson: 1.49
Ernie Els : 1.42
KJ Choi: 1.54
Sergio Garcia: 1.84
Vijay Singh: 1.41
Geoff Ogilvy : 1.64
Jim Furyk: 1.51


top 10 driving distance(rank this week)

1.Bubba Watson: 1.75
2.John Daly: 1.42
3.JB Holmes 1.64
4.Robert Garrigus: 1.78
5. Scott Gushewski: 1.18
6. Harrison Frazer: 1.60
7. Steve Allan: 1.68
8. Charles Warren: 1.89
9. Brett Wetterich: 1.48

good thread. I was wondering something similar to this myself.

I weight 170ish and my driver average lately seems to be about 280. That would put me at 1.65. Fun thread!

Lol, If I could hit the ball 300 and play like a .5 handicap, I wouldn't mind being 230 lbs.

Dude, I think I hear a big steak calling your name...

haha yeah i'm tiny. i'm around 5'6. I just don't really gain weight because I have a sick high metabolism or something idk. I want to start gaining some more cause honestly I think my size (height + weight) limits my power. must start working out or something. and yeah i definitely eat a lot of fatty stuff. steak is delicious

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
