I wore a pink shirt once and my friends started calling me paula because she wears pink as well... then someone did a "whats in my bag" on her and found out that we carry the same selection of clubs (except I carry a 5w and she carries a lw) and even the yardage is pretty much the same... she might be a bit more accurate.. and by a bit I mean a hell of a lot more

These were my yardages last year but should go up a lot since I've been working outl ike a mad man. Also, those yardages were with my G5 fairway woods.. which could go up or down... and the driver was an 11.5 G2, guess we will find out

[nice_lag]

Geee.... I'd like to be able to know my yardage to the yard like you man...

[jeffc]

Driver: 260
3 Wood: 235
2 Hybrid: 215
4i: 195
5i: 185
6i: 175
7i: 165
8i: 155
9i: 145
PW: 130
GW: 105
SW: 90
LW: 65

[mpare]

Driver: 235 to 245 carry
3 wood: 225 to 245 carry (off the tee); 220 to 235 carry off the deck
2 Hybrid: 200 to 215 off the deck
3 Hybrid: 185 to 200 off the deck
4 Hybrid: 175 to 185 off the deck
5 iron: 170 to 180 - average swing: 174
6 iron: 158 to 168 - average swing: 163
7 iron: 148 to 157 - average swing: 152
8 iron: 138 to 146 - average swing: 144
9 iron: 128 to 136 - average swing: 132
PW: 118 to 126 - average swing: 122
52 SW: 100 to 115 - average swing: 105
59 LW: 60 to 88 - average swing: 75

The ranges that I get depend on the weather conditions as well as on how I'm swinging and how far I intend to hit the ball. For each club, I have an average distance, but I can usually vary it within limits.

["Richard"]

If you are within 7% of your yardage on a shot you are doing pretty good. Sometimes up 7% more and somtimes 7% less. If I was dead on everytime I would be on the tour and be the most acurate player on tour

Geee.... I'd like to be able to know my yardage to the yard like you man...

[shovellover]

This time of year with new clubs?

No idea.

Based on my 1 round so far-

Driver-200-230
4wd-50 yds
7wd-190
5i-160
6i-70
7i-140
8i-125+
9i-50-120
pw-100
gw-50-90
lw-40
putter-it floats

As you can see, i have some tinkering to do. With my swing, mostly. Ask this question again in july when it's hot & the 100compression balls are going 250+.

[little brit]

Don't really know at the moment. Got new clubs. but at the sim. 190 driver, 175 5wood, 147 7iron. I guess we could extrapilate from there.

["Richard"]

I guess we should wait until the season starts... I get a little excieted

[nice_lag]

Here's what I believe mine are. Just like mpare, I can usually vary my distances, especially 5iron to 54* wedge, but I'll post my averages.

Driver: 255 carry
3-wood: 235 carry
5-wood: 220 carry
3 iron: 195 carry
4 iron: 190 carry
5 iron: 180 carry
6 iron: 170 carry
7 iron: 165 carry
8 iron: 150 carry
9 iron: 140 carry
47* PW: 135 carry
56* SW: 105 carry
60* LW: 70 carry

Swingspeed with driver is between 98 and 105 mph and with 6 iron, between 82 and 88 mph.

[powerlefty]

Driver: 260 carry
3-wood: 245 carry
5-wood: 235 carry
7-wood: 205 carry
4 iron: 190 carry
5 iron: 180 carry
6 iron: 170 carry
7 iron: 165 carry
8 iron: 155 carry
9 iron: 145 carry
PW: 135 carry
56* SW: 110 carry
60* LW: 90 carry

[sharkhark]

All woods are about 15 yards less than 'thotho' and all irons about 10 yards less.
And yes I am very lazy at not bothering to type it all out. CHeers

[Indio]

Good lord!!!!!!!!! Well after having seen what everyone else has posted as their distances and since even Little Brit has my butt beat except for the driver, I think I will avoid posting mine!

You could always just lie like all the other golfers in the world.

Here are my honest distances:

Driver 500 yds
3W 410 yds
5W ...

Here are my yardages from the end of last year:

Driver 260-270
3W 235
5W 225
3i (broken - in a fit of anger ... actually a cheap set of clubs)
4i (broken)
5i 190
6i 180
7i 170
8i 160
9i 150
PW 140
SW (don't ever use it because of the bounce)
LW 110

I got "new to me" irons for X-mas so all the yardages will probably change.

[dbleber]

Yardages don't equate swing speed and true length because the lofts on every manufacturer is so different. A PW can be 50°-45° that is a huge difference. So if someone in your group pulls out is 9 Iron and you have to hit an 8, it doesn't mean that he can hit farther than you. But then again if you both have the same clubs or loft then obviously it's you!

All my average carry distances, I can squeeze another 10 yards out of each club but my accuracy goes down:

Driver 265 yds
3W 240 yds
5W Just got it, wait and see 225-230 hoping
3i 205 yds
4i 190 yds
5i 180 yds
6i 170 yds
7i 160 yds
8i 150 yds
9i 140 yds
PW 130 yds
54° 110 yds
58° 90 yds

[sandbagger72]

Driver 315-325
3 wood?
3 iron 245-235
4 iron 235-225
5 iron 225-210
6 iron 215-190
7 iron 200-185
8 iron 185- 170
9 iron 170- 150
pw 150-90
52' 140- 90
56' 125-65
60' 65-0

That's hillarious!!

[Hank Hill]

Wow, you lot can sure whack it!!

Me:

Driver - too inconsistant to tell
5W 200 yards
7W 175-180 yards
4i 160-170 yards
5i 150-155 yards
6i 140-145 yards
7i 130-135 yards
8i 120-125 yards
9i 110-115 yards
PW 100-105 yards
AW depending on length of swing 75-100 yards
SW depending on length of swing 50-70 yards
LW depending on length of swing 65-35 yards
Putter 0.5 inch - 100 feet

As you can see, some of you can hit your PW as far as I hit my 5i
I am looking to put a bit more distance into my game so I can hit higher shots into greens so they have more of a chance of staying on the green.

[little brit]

Well mine wasn't just carry Indio, This is what the sim said for these clubs, final distance.

["Richard"]

how do you guys figure out your yardage? Mine is just guess work from the past year and a half.. I mean, if at a range how do you know your ball went 280 carry? the balls don't go as far as non range balls do... the only way I think think of getting an accurate reading would be hit a should on a golf course and then walk to your ball and laser it back to where you shoot from (get your friend to stand there). But even that would get anoying after a while.. so how did you guys figure out your yardage

[jonf]

mark me down for the same as nice_lag

[Nat Williams]

These might change now that I have been refitted, and am carrying all different clubs lol...

D ~275 yds
3w ~255 yds
2i ~240 yds
3i 230 yds
4i 215 yds
5i 200 yds
6i 190 yds
7i 180 yds
8i 170 yds
9i 155 yds
PW 140 yds
50° 125 yds
54° 110 yds

[dbleber]

I can't wait to get out on the course with some of you guys if we have that OG.Com tourny, some of these yardages are pretty crazy and to be honest I haven't played with ANYONE who hits a 8i 170-185 yrds or 3 irons 230-245, 315-325 average carry distance......is your name Bubba? Some of you guys must be really bad putters because these are pro distances, or just wishful thinking. Like I said I will super impressed if we get to play and I'm not saying that I'm super good or anything but I would love to see these types of distances in real life.

All my shots slice 150-200

[Nat Williams]

185 yd 8 iron, that's easy, well I'll hit one 220 for ya, just shut that face and give her hell

Pheww.. luckily many OG Members can corroborate my distances... LOL

But even that would get anoying after a while.. so how did you guys figure out your yardage

My posted yardages are approximates.. .easily give or take 5 yards on certain ones, as the increments in distances aren't 100% evenly spaced for me..

ex. I can remember how long my 54, PW, 7i,6i,3i,2i went and guestimated/used 'best fit' to plug in the rest.

During the season last year I used a laser to check distances, this year I am planning on using GPS as it will be faster.

[dbleber]

I did mine on a launch monitor and then from course play. I find driving ranges hard to tell because you can't go out and check were YOUR ball really is, unless you are a brave soul or covanant is hitting then just stick to HIS left!!!

["Richard"]

LOL - I told him he owed me a beer for getting to 1000 posts before I did... its like when you get a hole in one... pay up buddy

[sandbagger72]

i will back my yardage any day. and i will vouch personally for covant's honesty lol
