I'd make this a poll, but I think the answers might be confusing, because maybe you don't have all of these clubs, or you're longer with your hybrid but shorter with your wedges… or whatever.

But basically, here's the question: Locate your driver carry yardage below, and share in a post whether the other yardages are pretty close, longer, or shorter than you hit them. If they're off, are they mostly correct but your driver yardage is off, or are they just off toward one end of the list (i.e. your shorter clubs are off, but the rest are pretty accurate, for example)?

Just curious.

When I first replied I was almost dead on the red with most of the longer clubs... I don't actually carry a "3-wood" so I'm not sure how to answer the this... I'm kind of in-between red and black now... only inside from GC2 do I know this. But my driver is around 260 now... my 4-wood is around 230, Hybrid 215 ish (I can do anything with it) The irons are almost dead on red just add 2-5 yards... My sand wedges are definitely shorter though. I don't hit any full shots inside of a full 8-iron (150 yards) though.

PW through 3-hybrid carry distances are dead on in the purple column. My good drives end up about 235, not 245. I can't say what the wedges are because I never hit them full.

The red category is spot on for me across the board. 

[Groucho Valentine]

Im in the red region. I carry my Driver and 3wood between 7-10 yards further than it lists on the chart. But other than that, its really close. Within one or two yards.

Purple numbers best represent my yardages.  Interesting chart, thanks for sharing.

I am pretty close to the Red yardages or just a teensy bit shorter, but my bottom 3 wedges when hit comfortably tend to be around 5% shorter than the table

[shooter]

I carry my drives about 265-270 and carry a traditional 6 iron 181.   

The numbers are pretty close to the chart. If i gamed current jacked up loft ions I'm sure I'd be closer to the chart numbers 

[NEhomer]

I'm in the purple range....pretty neat chart.

[CSkipr]

I'm in the red on all clubs except the driver and between the purple & red on driver carry. Closer to purple on my gap and pitching wedge.

[3jacker]

It's pretty much spot on for me too.

Pretty much bang on red 7.  The distance comes if my ball speed stays where it should.  That's my most looked at stat (and imo most important stat) on my GC2.  My 56 and 60 don't go quite as far as that though- more like 88 and 100.

Pretty accurate for the red section - on a good hit, my driver carries 250+, but it's inconsistent (standard strike issues). My irons are a bit more bunched together though, although that might just be the cold weather. 4 iron probably tops out at 185, with PW at 130 or 135 if I step on it, 9 iron at 146, 8 at 155, 7 at 163, 6 at 170, 5 at 178 - at least, those are the numbers I have in my head and they seem pretty accurate on the course! There is perhaps a little gap between PW and 9 iron, but nothing that has ever caused a problem. My full wedges are also very different - full LW is around 85, full SW at 95 and full GW 120. Not that I ever really hit full wedges below a PW...

I'd put myself at Red or just a bit higher.  Carry for driver is around 255-260.  For the rest of the chart I'd say I'm longer with the 3-wood, slightly longer with the 4 & 5 irons and about 5-7 yards longer with the 6-PW.  Full LW and GW are pretty spot on...shows my gap (20y) between my GW and PW and something I've considered filling.

Looks like I'm a little above the black up until wedges, which is in right with the black.  It's what I expected though.

[mchepp]

Somehow I missed this the first go around. I am firmly in the purple and the iron distances are not right. I hit my 7 iron about 155 this has something like 144. So it is about one club short in the irons. I hit my 4 wood about 210 so a bit longer than in the purple chart. 

[RichWW2]

A little over red Driver through 8.  9-LW is about spot on.

[GrandStranded]

Purple yardages are spot on except I'm shorter with my SW ,LW (could that be the heavier steel shafts?). when playing the Myrtle Beach area most of the year. I spend 3-4 months on Long Island, and I'm a club longer up there, even during the Nov-Dec colder temps.

Based on my Game Golf stats, I am almost dead on bawls accurate with the Red.
