I'm finally hitting the ball consistently enough that I felt comfortable renting a Trackman for an hour to get some stats on my clubs. $45 for the hour and then the teaching pro there went through a few things with me for 10m. Pretty awesome experience, I highly recommend it!

I'm curious what everyone else thinks if you're interested in commenting. Here was his feedback:

1. Driver is pretty good, 8.5/10. If I could zero out my attack angle, probably gain 20y off the tee.

2. Irons not very good, 4/10. Buying even a used set would let me hit 2 clubs down (e.g. 7I now, 9I with new clubs) on every shot.

3. 7I/8I, wow spin is insanely high! He had me hit a demo 7I and spin on that was 6,000 which he liked better.

I shoot in the mid-80s pretty consistently, finally broke 80 yesterday for the first time ever (79) on a 68/117 course at 6,000 yards. The driver distances from Trackman match what I get from Golfshot on the course. Irons were about 10 yards shorter than the distances I play on the course, has anyone had issues with Trackman under-reporting carry distance or am I off on my course distances?

Anyway, data is attached and thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to review and comment. Covert is at 11.5 neutral, SLDR S is 12 and 5W is an RBZ Stage 2 set at 16.5. 56 and 60 wedges are Vokey SM4s, irons are generic cavity-backed from 25 years ago.

Not just zero it out but move it into the positive 2 to 5 range… ideally. You'll want to make sure you're still in control of the driver, but -3.1 is not great for optimizing your distance.

To the other clubs I would suggest you find a pattern. Right now your pattern is like a fern - shots start left and right and curve left and right. Start to develop, with ALL clubs, a consistent start line (just "right" or "left" for now - no need to get too precise yet) and a consistent curve (curving left or curving right, again, doesn't have to be "5-yard draw" every time).

Driver: Hit more up. You want to get somewhere around the 16-17 degree launch angle with low 2000 rpm. You could gain 25 yards of carry.

To go along with what @iacas and @saevel25 said.

Yep, develop a pattern.

    • Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.
    • I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
    • For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
