Distances

[Letitroll98]

Oh hey, yeah, that's about what I'm hitting too. Right wit ya on every fairway. Although we've had to modify the course routing somewhat. I just hit from #1 tee to the farthest green on the course, then back again to #18 green.

To be fair, the last few guys have posted reasonable and believable distances.

Anyone else notice the gap between my 3 wood and 3 iron. How do you guys like those hybrids? I need a good 350 yard club! Oh, and before you say it, I already know I'm a little short in the mid-short irons but I'm going for flagsticks you know!

This look to me like regular stuff! I've shoot 73 on a 9100 yards course with long rough and really fast green. Can you just imagine how far I hit my clubs? Wow! I won't even post my distance number 'cause you'll all start to cry!!

[erock139]

Oh hex...now someone does 185 with 9i. Sheesh.

What I find most interesting are the 139 yard distance shots. Like you actually go out and measure (or average) 139. I would believe 140 or 145 or maybe 135...but 139 give me a break. That precise? You carry one of those measuring sticks/wheels with you?

Ya KRappy Why?

[golf-addict]

Driver 215-245 (10*)
3w 210-235 (14*)
5w 195-215 (18* hybrid or 18* traditional wood)
7w 180-200 (22* hybrid)
9w 165-180 (26* hybrid)
(3-4) 165-185 (Not used; due to inconsistency, don't seem to be longer than 5i)
(5i) 160-175 (29*, not always in the bag)
6i 150-165 (33*)
7i 140-155 (37*)
8i 130-145 (41*)
9i 110-135 (45*)
PW 90-115 (49*, sometimes leave it out and use 9i to cover with 1/2 swing)
SW 60-95 (56*)
LW <70 (62*)

Still couldn't quite figure out what to do with the driver. 3w becomes so straight and reliable, sometimes jsut keep two 3w with different shaft in the bag, one to tee off and one to hit off fairway, seem to work better than the driver, in terms of keeping the ball in bound and out of trouble.

[bethpage caddy]

You guys are all right, hitting an 8 iron 165 yards is highly unreasonable, I've never done it in my life. I'm actually a 50 handicap in disguise who takes a 7 iron from 90 yards. You got me.

[WarriorPoet]

Distances can be crazy sometimes...I'm not long at all, and I was hitting an 8 iron about 200 yards off a mat at the range with maybe a two-club tailwind one day. It was drawing like crazy, and completely uncontrollable, but I did it.

Normal yardages now that I've switched to a one-plane swing:

Driver: Don't have one
3w: ditto
16* Strong 4 wood: Rarely use because very shallow face, but hit very high about 195-220
16* Rescue Mid: 205-235 low-mid trajectory with lots of roll
17* GAP wood (very short shaft): 180-195 low trajectory with lots of roll
19* Rescue Mid: 185-200 mid trajectory little-moderate roll
4I: only use for punches and chips
5I: 170-180
6I: 160-170
7I: 145-160
8I: 130-145
9I: 115-125
PW: 100-110
SW: 75-90
LW: For greenside use only

I like the overlap in my "woods." They give me a lot of options depending on wind, amount of roll desired, and whatnot. The 4w and 19* mid are great options on long par 3s because they hit higher and usually drop and stop fairly quickly...the 16* mid and 17* GAP both roll like crazy, so they're great on Par 4s and 5s, off the fairway, and even out of the rough as long as it's not really thick or a really bad lie.

I've also found my 7 and 8 irons to be extremely versatile...they respond more than any other clubs in my bag to different ball positions and whatnot. I treat everything shorter than the 8I like a long pitch shot (minimize weight transfer), and everything longer as a full shot. I know that's not the textbook way to play my short irons, but I'll take the tradeoff in yardage for keeping it straight and the distances fairly consistent.

Firstly, to all those who accused me of being a "self-proclaimed god", presumably you can read and know the difference between "Garcia IS god" and "I AM a god".... Once you've sorted out the difference, then look at what my handle is.

And to reiterate to what I said on another thread, I don't have a problem with the large PW, 9 iron distances... I've seen people absolutely bomb 9 irons. The club is forgiving enough to get away with it. It is the professional length 4-5 irons that are blatant lies.

And Bethpage Caddy, please don't bother replying. It is obvious by most of your posts that you believe yourself to be some sort of god here & are incapable of anything other than mindless insults. I'm glad you're a plus 3 or whatever, and hope to play like you one day.

I don't consider myself to be a "god of the forum," or anything remotely like that. Perhaps if you hanged around for a little bit more than 5 days and really got to see what I'm really like you would realize that, but that isn't the point. I understand some like to exaggerate their distances online, on this forum or whatever. But I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone like you and instantly dismiss my accomplishments with a couple simple words that insinuate I'm a liar.

I'll have you know I've spent hours upon hours at the range, from 3 oclock in the afternoon until sundown grooving and practicing my swing, hitting 300 1 and 3 irons in a row, hours on end in the boiling sun, just to improve my game. I've spent hours and hours practicing 5 and 6 footers. If you don't think I can smack my 1-iron 245 straight down the middle of the fairway, then head over to bethpage, I'll come down the road and show you. But unti you can actually make an accurate judgement of my character, and my golf game, I suggest you take everything here and just let it go. Sure there are those who will exaggerate, but there are some, like myself, who actually can do these distances? Am I supposed to downplay what I have accomplished through nothing but hard work and sweat just so it doesn't appear I'm lying about my distances? Would that make you sleep better at night?

And just so you know, Garcia is no God. He's never won a major, he's simply a little man with a big abnoxious mouth.

To reiterate what I said in another thread, I try not to jump to conclusions and form opinions about people without the proper facts. Based on the way you talk about people, I did not want to assume that your name was not Garcia, and you were in fact trying to call yourself a God.

Now that I know, I will begin to formulate my next opinion, that being that you are probably just a person who got a little confused when they said "don't eat the brown acid", and continues to live back in 1969 as the rest of your friends moved on to have grand kids. Either that or a 10 year old that want's to show how cool he by trying to recognize a legend that has moved on to greener pastures. Unfortunately I would probably side with the latter, because most of the people that can relate to the former either lack or disassociate themselves with the judgemental quality that you have exhibited in your prior posts.

If you are in fact the former, don't worry, because Altamont is right around the corner and Jerry and the rest of the crew can't wait to take the stage.

Actually I don't recall doubting YOUR ability at all. In my first post, I sent out advance apologies to all those who actually are scratch golfers. If you are a caddy at a course like that, then you obviously can play. I was being serious in hoping to play like you.

My doubting applies to the mid handicappers outhitting Tiger.

My point concerning you was the fact that you seem to enjoy dishing out insults on the forum (such as picking on that 13 year old kid). I have little wish to engage in a slanging match like you, but if you reply provocatively to every single one of my posts then I have little choice but to respond.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about... and frankly don't care. Most other people seemed to realise that this is a golf forum, and I am referring to Sergio Garcia.

As for all your sanctimonious nonsense of "trying not to jump to conclusions and forming opinions with evidence", look at the 2 posts you have sent me. You have not replied to a single golfing point I've made. All you have done is send snide, sarcastic remarks.

I'm sure you think you're a very nice, decent guy & I'm sure you are. Just keep your opinions to yourself as I don't really have any wish to know you. I'm here to discuss golf & there seem to be plenty other people here (obviously far less intelligent than you are) who also share that wish.

[Gussie]

The distances you describe are really unbelievable....and so are most of the other posters' distances. Do some people actually want others to believable that these are your "normal" distances with the clubs specified???? That's crazy unless you are a top ranked amateur or play on a mini tour. Nobody with a handicap greater than 4 or 5 "normally" hits the ball those distances. Oh you might every now and then get that kind of distance out of a driver or a fairway wood off the tee, but these can't be your "normal" distances.
And, how do you know these are the distances you "normally" hit the ball? Do you laser the distances? Do you use the sprinkler yardages in the fairways? Or do you (please say you don't do this!) use distances when you are at the driving range.
Again......unbelievable!!!

This being the case, maybe you should take the time to realize that you make it difficult for people to look past the rest of your post to find out if you really have anything interesting to say.

Like your rationalization that unless someone is a scratch golfer, they are just exagerating like everone else on the web.

Why do people feel the need to exaggerate so much on the web? I mean... NOBODY believes you! I'm a sold 10 handicapper & you guys would outhit me by a mile

Now isn't it conceivable that out of millions of golfers playing, there are a few who can regularly hit their long irons in the 200-235 range. I know I've been paired up with three or four people in the last month that hit those distances and everyone in my foursome can also hit those distances. Isn't it even more believable considering that you're in a golf forum and the only people that would likely frequent a forum such as this are people that take their golf a little seriously and who are perhaps a little more accomplished as golfers than the rest of the people out there? I don't understand why this is such a stretch!

I dont know whats up with my distance on the 54* wegde, I just can't seem to hit it very far. I bought it to try and close the gap between my PW and 60* but now I just hit it inside 100 yards. anything over 100 and I use the 60* or a knock down PW.

[neverman]

Try a 52 degree gap wedge?

[RGertner1]

I've never actually measured them, but these are my estimates based on the flags at the driving range. Also, my swing speed it really slow right now b/c I'm working on my swing. I'd rather go straight than long for now.

These distances are my averages on 10 balls per club with a laser range finder (rounded to closest yard). Because it was at the beginning of year, my swing was a bit inconsistent so I knocked off the longest and shortest two shots. Also, the range was a bit wet, so the ball marks were easy to find...distances are carries.

Driver - 286
3 wood - 235
5 wood - 223
7 wood - 212
4 iron - 198
5 iron - 185
6 iron - 173

8 iron - 148
9 iron 135
PW - 121
SW - 105
LW - 85

At the time, I was not using the three iron or a gap wedge. I have since dropped the 3, 5 and 7 woods, as well as the 60*, opting for an 18* 4 wood which I currently carry in the mid 230's, and a 51* gap wedge, which I carry about 115 or so. The avaerage turned out pretty accurate, as these distances match up with my drives and approaches pretty well when my swing is on.

You appear to place an awful lot of emphasis on sticking to "Golf Comments", when in turn you seem to provide very little in "Golf related " support for your claims, nor do you seem to make any attempt to provide adequate "Golf related" support, when this is drawn into question.

Many would view that as simply being an insult in itself. Amazing that you always attempt to hold others to a higher standard, especially since it is usually your own post, and lack of "Golf Comments" that has led to the insults and atercation.

So as not to misjudge you, I will simply avoid dropping the "H" word, allow you to respond, and allow others to form their own opinion.

Are you in the PGA? If not, why not? You'd be better than anyone out there with your eariler submission of a 440 drive..

Heck, you'd be the world's longest driver:

http://www.powerballs.com/powerball_world_records.html#

[Bigwill]

OK, new guy here. I have to say that I've been to a couple of pro tournaments, and the pro's aren't that overly long, as a group. The long pros are, definitely. But if the tour average is like 287 or so, then it stands to reason that quite a few of them fall short of that number. Secondly, if you watch some of these college and mini tour events, or even high school events, there seem to be more people who hit the ball far enough to be on tour than there are people who play well enough to be on tour. Thirdly, I've personally played more golf with people who are way better than me than people who are longer than me. My point? The distances you're reading about aren't reserved only for tour players, or even low handicap players. I can't speak for the guys posting on this board, but then again, neither can you guys who are accusing them of lying. I just know that it seems fairly shortsighted to definitively equate distance with handicap. You just don't have to be a good player to be a long player. And you certainly don't have to be long to be good (but it sure helps).

My 2 cents.

[afgolfer]

Was that 51 on 9 holes? if not, why the heck are you wasting your time on here, instead of making tons of cash on the PGA tour or Long Drive Comp. Also, what balls are you using, and do they have their own propulsion system?? I will pay you play a round with me at my home course and see you hit a 440 yarder off the tee, and shoot somewhere in the 50s.

that darm 3-wood tee shots of mine wows me sometimes, but usually i shake my head ...and then off the fairway, well, i can get far more reliable distance from my 6-iron, about 180 yards to just lay up, than my 3-wood that can go OB more often than not. i don't know why, but i've regressed with my 3-wood...

lately i've been focused on 6, 7, 8 irons and do pitches with my pitch iron.

my Lob Wedge gets limited, full swing, use, but when it works it's great to be on the green and have that ball sit...but it's a tricky one to use..more tricky then a 3-iron.

i have a 5-wood to try out...but lately i'm risk averse with FW woods...
while i'm very curious about trying a Cleveland Halo or two, i've decided to keep at it with my 6-7-8 irons until i can shoot 'em kinda straight and fade, nearly all the time...might be a while.

my long iron trajectory aint high, but they gets me distance (esp. on tee), so i'm contented, as long as my short irons can get me in chipping range or so.

while golf has again reveled my lack of inate athletic talent (i've been playing hapkido & have been MT.Biking for sooo many years that i forgot i aint so coodinated) sure is fun wailing away.

I must have some serious problems. I'm 22 years old and I can hit it as far as a 13 year old. I definitely hit my irons higher than most. Which isn't really a bad thing. There are some that I play with that wish they could hit a 4 or 5 iron and make it land and stick like wedge. I also may have some irons that are pretty old. So maybe all of you guys have irons with new technology. I have some Tommy Armour 845s Oversize with steel shafts. I'm thinking about getting some new irons. I wonder if it would affect my distances.

I'm sorry... pet peeve time. Why, oh why, did you dig up this thread and re-inite it with nothing to really add? I mean it's an ugly thread, with lies, insults and everyones meaningless distance boasts.

Looking at what changed in your distances, (yes, I torturted myself and tried to figure out why you posted) once you got new clubs. Just start a new post please, stating something relevent to your perceived benefits now that you've moved to a matched set of named clubs.

You did this a month ago by going back pages and pages to dredge up some crap. You visit here plenty, add to something in the now instead of rummaging through the trash please. I need to stay sane and it's a difficult task at times... Times when I wonder WHY did you resurrect this thread?

Am I in the wrong here?

Nope, the clubs are not the cause for your lack of distance. Do you tend to hit high fades? If not you have a lower swing speed is all and that's ok if the irons go straight. Irons aren't about distance (yours isn't grossly short btw) they're about accuracy.

If your ball flight is THAT high, how do you hit your 3 wood 250? Your irons and woods distances don't really seem compatible.

Either..

a) go and see your pro (could simply be a club fitting issue)
b) stop using any iron lower than 5... just get hybrids or fairway woods. If you honestly hit your 3 wood that far, then you should be able to nail a 5, 7 & 9.

[Brent Nadeau]

These distances are my averages on 10 balls per club with a laser range finder (rounded to closest yard). Because it was at the beginning of year, my swing was a bit inconsistent so I knocked off the longest and shortest two shots. Also, the range was a bit wet, so the ball marks were easy to find...distances are carries.

Driver - 286
3 wood - 235
5 wood - 223
7 wood - 212
4 iron - 198
5 iron - 185
6 iron - 173
7 iron - 162

9 iron 135
PW - 121

LW - 85

At the time, I was not using the three iron or a gap wedge. I have since dropped the 3, 5 and 7 woods, as well as the 60*, opting for an 18* 4 wood which I currently carry in the mid 230's, and a 51* gap wedge, which I carry about 115 or so. The avaerage turned out pretty accurate, as these distances match up with my drives and approaches pretty well when my swing is on.

Since a few lessons, a major swing change, and changes of every club except the putter, my distances have also changed. I now hit the driver 390 on average...

New distances are based on my estimates at the course using the markers on drives and approaches.

Driver (Ping G2 10*) - hitting the fairway about 80% or better lately (last 3 rounds) and averaging around 265 total (roll included, so around)...gave up some distance for a lot of accuracy...no complaints.
Hogan CFT 3h Hybrid - typical carry is around 215, but not much roll.
Hogan BH-5 irons:
3 iron (only hit off tee) - I tend to hit about a 200 yard carry with this club off the tee, but am too inconsistent hitting it off the turf.
4 iron - high 180's
5 iron - high 170's
6 iron - high 160's
7 iron - high 150's
8 iron - high 140's
9 iron - high 130's
PW - mid 120's
Titleist Vokey 200 series wedges:
GW 54* - 110
LW 58* - 100
(irons and wedge distances are carries)

I may buy a 50* wedge over the winter...that would give me a nice 4* spread from the PW - LW (ho dat sh!t). After all my changes, the long irons have shortened, but are much more consistent. The middle and short stuff has stayed pretty similay, but the driver has been shortened. My scores, however, have followed suit. During mid summer, I was averaging about 90 on my home course. Because work has started, I only get time to play in the afternoon, and the days are getting shorter, so 9 holes is about it. In the last 4 rounds of 9 I've played, I've shot 44, 41, 39, 43...I can live with shorter shots that translate into better scores. ANyon who finds these distances don't add up, well comment at will...I couldn't give a rat's a$$.

[garcia is god]

It would appear that God has a complex.

And is there any reason we should believe you, outside of the fact that you are a Self Proclaimed "God"

Oh I do miss PA Jayhawk!! Maybe he's gone on a reading course.

[Nacho_D/FW]

Wow! You guys sure do hit far!

My drives at the driving range always appear to drop about 10 to 15 yds behind the 200yd sign. But I have noticed that sometimes, they move the hitting area back a few yards to let the grass grow back.

I read somewhere here that ya'll use a GPS to give you the ACTUAL distance. I would like to do this so that I can make a little chart for myself and tape it onto my golf bag. Does anyone here have a quick way of explaining how they got their #'s with the GPS????

[avcguy]

One thing I would add, having played in many different places, elevation has a lot to do with distance. When we go to Myrtle Beach in the spring it seems I need at least 1 to 1 1/2 more club (pre-season and cool temps also)

Here goes

Driver (TM 580XD) 275-300
3 wood 250
2 iron 225
3 215
4 210
5 200
6 190

8 165
9 155
pw (48) 145
gw (52) 130
sw (56) 115
lw (60) 90 (full swing)

My home elevation is about 2000 ft.

[-=aXno=-]

I agree with your post accroding to some precise distance posted here such as 183 !
nevretheless, It could be interresting for everyone to let us know about Index !
I'm quite sure that it will not be significant to discuss only about range because of precision parameter that is quite the most important !

driving the right position on the fairway at 250yds is more efficient than 3xx in the rough ;)

[sabalo7]

In April of this year,Rankmark conducted a test where 150 golfers with hdcp. from 5-20 each hit 4 shots using the same clubs.

Graphite R 133 S 141

Five Iron

Steel R 158 S 165

One maker is coming out with 44* PW....ridiculous! Stop the madness and worry about your own distance and building consistency.

Gosh I wish I could hit it long.....

Abudoggie

Actually 44* PW have been out for quite some time. Wilson Deep Red Distance II irons have 44* PW as do TaylorMade CGB irons sets. I've had the Wilson Deep Red Distance II irons since July and frankly I like the extra distance and I still get a nice high ball flight.

[ironman]

I've been paired with I doe by a mile.... dream on.
n't know how many golfers over the years... very few of whom can hit even close to what people claim here (& that inlcludes low handicappers). Even then, hitting these distances usually meant ending up in the trees!

Why do people feel the need to exaggerate so much on the web? I mean... NOBODY believes you! I'm a sold 10 handicapper & you guys would outhit me by a mile

Apologies to anybody who's actually scratch. Everybody else has a good imagination.

exaggeration, lies, & delusions are what's typical for among us "puny" humans

OT (indirectly related, kind of): that is also, in part, why i am a Christian in faith (in worship and in prayer) and Zen Buddist (no worhshiping nor praying) in "intellectual" belief...wholly compatiable as Budda never wanted to be worshipped, prayed to, nor followed...just wanted people to gain thier own "Budda nature" and alleviate sufferings.

funny how a "simple" game like golf (play where it lies and sink the ball into a hole) can reveal so much (or lack of) a person character. so many people exaggerate their drive yardage, shoe size, and their Handicap Index they play to.

Will this stupid thread never die, going on 8 months and all the comments are the same???

For the most part, your distances are only 4~5 yards different from the guy you said had to be lieing, and "the same as what pros carry". I assume you are a pro shooting in the mid to high 80's?? Maybe you should start defending yourself.

So, are you one of those guys that gets like 20 yards roll on a 7i and 50 on a driver? Don't know about you but I probably only get a couple yards roll on my irons (if it doesn't go backwards) and maybe 10 or so on my driver.

Again, your yardage is similar to pros, why aren't you on the tour???

dude my driver is 240 ROLL AND CARRY GD....tiger would sail me by like 35 yards with ease....get ur facts right buddy...Just about any pro could sail 240 with a driver with ease....as for my irons the shortest hitting pros are prolly a solid club longer....tiger is close to 2 or 3 clubs longer..
god ur a dumbass

Most of the people in this thread need a life.

(A) It isn't unbelievable to hit a 9 iron 150 yards. Sorry. People do it. Hide the gun if you're shorter and can't live with it.

(B) As previously stated, club distance has no correlation to handicap.

(C) Does any of this even matter? This is the 8th month of wasted energy and negativity on the subject. Get a life...

oh yea u asked why im not a pro.....did u "accidentally forget" to read the part where i said mid to high 80s occassionally lower occasionally higher..... the pros can go out to any course on any day without the cameras and shoot mid 60s....thats why im not a pro.....any more questions keep em comin..

I'm beginning to understand now, a little slow but will get there soon. The guys you quoted are like 5 handicaps. Then again, I see you are a scratch golfer that shoots in the Mid to upper 80's, it is all beginning to make sense. For someone who hits their 7i 160 yards, 240 on a driver seems pretty darn short, I would offer you a Banana, but it sounds like you already have one with your driver.

a 160 7 iron is not that far.....tiger hits a 7 iron upwards of 185 when he swings about 75 percent....UR A DUMBASS GET OVER IT!!

Sorry, I didn't see you quoting and criticising Tiger. But I'm the "DUMBASS" because I can't figure out why a scratch golfer shoots in the Mid to Upper 80's. Maybe you play on Par 88's. I'm basing my facts on what was quoted on here. Tiger also averages close to 300 with his driver and 185 with his 7i, why is it unconceivable that someone who hits his 7i 162 hits his driver 268. Sounds like your conception is screwed up, maybe you should be the one to think before you post.

Go ahead, dodge the comments as you've proven you are capable. Maybe you should change your name to "Banana Boy"

Maybe someone else set up you're profile, simply a matter that I do "research and read before I respond"

I'm a scratch golfer my goal is to shoot under 72 this season.

i shoot mid to high 80s.

Now can u guys please put some truth into this? that would be great...

ohhhh the irony...

Also, there is a par 4 at my local course that requires a 285 carry over bunkers from the back tees to have a good look at the green. My tee shots generally go on average about 290 (No BS), and I can clear it. How much roll do you get, 60 yards?

It's always fun to be a "Dumbass" when you know you're right, and can prove it!!!

It's werid how i can hit my 7 Iron as far or farther then any other club other then the 3 wood and driver. And how my irons hit all about the same.

ur prolly 13 years old...not a big deal but when u have to lie to make urself feel good u got a problem....185 yard 7 iron.....DUDE U MUST BE TIGER....i know u all say the pros swing 80 percent and all that but i doubt anyones hardest swing could beat the pros 80 percent swings...
