So I was a High School/College golfer who used to poke it about 300 off the tee and held about a 6-10 handicap. Played here and there last few years.( 6 years- 30 rounds due to work)

My iron ball flight is still at a great level.Hitting it high with great spin and control.  Confident from 200 to stick one on the green but my woods distance is that of a 80 year old lady.

3Iron/215-220

4Iron/205-215

5Iron/190-210

6Iron/170-190

7Iron/165-180

8Iron/150-165

9Iron/140-155

PW/120-140

56SW/100-

LW Under 60 yds

Driver... 230-260

3 Wood 210-240

How is it I am hitting my iron's seem normal and yet my driver with same swing speed ,( theoretically) is producing a significantly lower distance.

I have always been a slight fade hitter with my irons. Used to force a draw with my woods for distance. Now im just hitting nonsense and its irritating. I tried a new driver and I hit better however, I feel the placebo effect was most of the difference.

The driver was a prize from my one and only hole in one lol not exactly fitted for me.

Any advice? =)

Edit: Swing speeds 110+

Irons are honestly my best friends, especially my 6 iron. I rarely use my woods or even my driver (unless I want to showoff) because I have gotten so comfortable with my irons. I practice a lot at the range with my woods and driver, but when it comes to the actual course, I get trigger-happy with my irons.

We must harness the crystiles.

    • Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…
    • Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him. 
    • Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.   
    • Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
