driver = 230
3wood = 210
3h = 190
4h = 175
5h = 165
5iron = 160
6iron = 150
7iron = 135
8iron = 120
9iron = 110
PW = 100
SW = I only use it for sand and flops.

These are pretty honest I think if I make "average good" contact but not spectacular. It seems like on the woods and hybrids I can occasionally get it out there about 10-15% more than I've quoted here but the irons are pretty consistent, when I hit them better they just go higher and stop at about the same place as a "decent" hit.

Obviously with my handicap, I'm not as consistent as I would like to be but these numbers would be reflective on average, for distance. Direction would be another issue altogether.

Driver -- don't hit it at all
3W - 220
5W - 210
3H - 200
4H - 185
5I - 175
6I - 165
7I - 155
8I - 150
9I - 140

PW - 130
GW - 115
SW - 90
LW - 65

Generally, I have a hard time choosing 8/9 or 7/8 on some shots because my 8I has a comfortable range of 145 to 160.

I was once the long ball hitter and now I feel like I have no strength

Hopefully with time my adjustments will pay off though

Are you sure those yardages are 100% truthful, Mr Mustangbryk

[b_diddy746]

I too, stopped de-lofting (pronate) the golf club for more distance. Now i come through nice and high, and i love my ball flight. I lost a little distance but i gained tons more controll. I dont really use my 3 or 4 iron very much. I can hit it pretty far off the tee, and i usually only feel comfortable going at a par 5 in 2 if i am either a nice 5 wood (250-270),or 5 iron(190-215) away. If i am not either of those distances i usually lay up to 100 yds. I guess i havnt really thought about it before, but i think that might be a bad thing actually What do you guys think????

Avg. Distances (95% swing)

Driver: 310yds
5 wood: 270yds
3 iron: 230(max)yds

7 iron:165yds
8 iron:145yds

B_Diddy, you hit your 5w 270 yards??? I'm not doubting this, but if that's accurate, you're a beast!

[mustangbryk]

Totally true on my part. I have done long drive Q's in the past. Plus i am a bigger guy so i think that helps out alittle bit too. Never listen to the people who say you can't build big muscle and you will lose your golf swing. I power lift and hit the ball as far if not further than i did 20 years ago. Lift weight the right way hit the ball a far far way. Thats why you see those pro-ams with football players and they drive the ball 300 plus no problem.
