My 220 has a confidence level of 100%. Maybe I should hike it a bit to give Spectrums a fight.

I average around 300 which is long. But I weigh 230 which is fat, so 1.30.

LMAO. I'm 6'8" and 235 and I average about 275 so I come in at a staggering 1.17 yards/lb and only 3.44 yards/inch.

But at least I can dunk a basketball.

That's OK, my weight went up and my distance went down. If I hadn't lost 18 pounds so far this year I'd be at about 1.09.

I'm pretty confident saying I average 260, at around 190 lbs (though I really need to lose 10 lbs). 1.37, 1.44 when my fat ass loses weight.

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

I think the difference is that NM Golf has a .5 index and you have a 17.0 index so it is very believeable that he bombs the ball.

The only thing my fat butt can dunk is a donut!

I'm only 6'1" but at least that puts me at 4.11 yards an inch which isn't too bad.
