Get yer willie oot!

Probably been done to death but time to start another arguement.

Here are my carry distances, not 100% accurate however these are the AVERAGE carry distances which I have measured using my GPS on both the golf course and the practice area.


Driver 238

3 wood 215

21 Hybrid 200

4 184
5 175
6 166
7 154
8 145
9 133
pw 118
gw 100
lw 70


How short/average/long am I?

 

[John_Findlay]

I'd say I'm pretty much the same with every club. Your name's not....?

 

[Bratty]

Yep, about the same as me too (basing on average).

Good to know someone else creams a pitching wedge too... I used to think I was overhitting it. Now I know I need a gap wedge.

 

[Oddsocks]

m not sure on my driver carry, hopefully just one or smiffy will help here, but irons are pretty much the same.

 

[patricks148]

Irons prob about the same.
3 iron the same as hybrid.
17 deg hybrid 215-220
3 wood 235-245 (13deg)
Driver 250

Now I dont usually reply to these threads, but seems as though work is quiet and im bored then I might as well have a go....

All are rouch carry distances (I dont get much run anyway)

Driver - 270
3 wood - havent hit it for so long that ive forgot
20* Hybrid - 220
3 iron - 210
4 iron - 200
5 iron - 190
6 iron - 175
7 iron - 160
8 iron - 150
9 iron - 140
PW - 130
52* - 100
58* - 85

 

[Swinger]

Not for me.

You'd have to see it to believe it!!!

 

[USER1999]

Easy to measure at this time of year as there is no run at all.

Driver = ? Varies hugely so no such thing as average.

4w = ditto.

3 hybrid = 185, as that was what happened yesterday when I thought I middled it.

4i = ?
5i, 6i and 7i similar, could be 170 or 145.
8i, 9i and wedge, 120ish.
50, 54 ans 58 about 100 to 80ish depending on contact.


It so depends on the quality of the strike it is ridiculous to try to even guess, and hitting out of a swamp is not helping get good contact.

 

[Dodger]

It puzzles me how anyone can say what their carry is.

How do you know?

Do you always have a pitchmark where the ball pitches or do you have a helper standing marking the spot?

 

[richart]

About the same for me too. Think you must be very average.

Its easy when you practice at Lochwinnoch or Rothesay because the pitch mark is where the ball is, usually an inch under the ground!!!!!

We cant all be blessed on fast, hard running quick drying links turf dodger so wind your neck in!!!!

So, you two have met then

 

[thecraw]

Bumped into him at a swingers party, that's why dodger couldn't get in!

Do you play at altitude??

 

[john0]

All distances are downhill with wind behind - did I not mention that?

 

[Screwback]

I would say i drive the ball maybe 235 - 240.

Then the rest i hit them around about the distance to the pin and then make birdie

You must be slacking, the last time I was talking to you, you were celebrating a hole in one! Do you remember???

 

[brendy]

Can you measure massive?

 

[jammydodger]

Pretty similar top Craws distances only 5/10 yards further on most clubs I would think.
