2+2 Distances - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

I'm curious what everyone's distances are; this came up in a Misc. thread, but it's been years. Here's mine:

Driver: 230-250

3-Wood: 210-215

5-Wood: 190-200

22 degree hybrid: 180

26 degree hybrid: 165

6 iron: 150

7 iron: 140

8 iron: 130

9 iron: 120

PW: 100ish

52 degree: 80

56 degree: who knows, I never hit it full....maybe 60?

60 degree: see above

Driver through PW are all Ping G30s; stiff shaft on driver, regular graphite shaft from there. Titleist vokey wedges.

Driver: 260-280
Stock shot(up to)
13.5 degree 3 Wood: 235(255)
19 degree hybrid: 220(235)
5 iron: 195(205)
6 iron: 180(190)
7 iron: 170(178)
8 iron: 160(167)
9 iron: 150(155)
PW: 125(135)
52 degree: 105(115)
56 degree: 90(105)

My stock shot is a distance robbing cut. I can hit a draw when needed but I'm real inconsistent with the distance and amount of draw.

Driver: 275-280 (carry - Bubba cut FTW)
3W: 235y (off the ground)
19h: 220y
21h: 210y
5i: 195y
6i: 185y
7i: 175y
8i: 165y
9i: 155y
PW: 142y
50: 125y
54: 110y (160 when i thin it)
60: 85y

Same on the distance robbing cut. When I can sit on the range grooving driver I can actually produce a 5 yard draw but that swing never appears on the course. My carry distance with the driver pops to 296y when on the range (via trackman).

Other info: 46yo out-of-shape, 5'8", but played hockey my whole youth which translates nicely to the golf game. Driver ss is 115mph.

Driver 240
3W usually top it 30 yards
5W top top toparoo
4i 200
5i 190
6i 180
7i 170
8i 160
9i 150
PW 140
anything less than a PW isn't worth discussing

My game is awesome. Iron off tee. Always. And I don't want to be less than a PW in. 300 yard par 4? well, 300-140 = 160. Yes, I'm teeing off with an 8i.

Great way to play golf. Really enjoyable. I need help.

This is my 100% at the moment. This is in Denver, so ~10% more than sea level for the most part (depends on a LOT of factors). The total on this would probably be like 12% more based on the height and speed.

Honestly current stock carries on well struck shots at 5200 elevation, 75ish degrees:

Driver: 330 (avg clubhead speed on > 1000 outdoor trackman driver swings is 119 and change)
3w: 305
2i: 275
4i: 250
5i: 235
6i: 220
7i: 205
8i: 192
9i: 178
pw: 162
50 deg: 145
54 deg: 128
60 deg: 105

Had to flex with that one trackman screenshot I had in my photos.

I regularly play with a guy that swings about 128 stock, so that keeps me humble.

lol, I'm always happy when I play state am qualifiers and scratch tournaments when this 47 year old out of shape guy can still hit it past the college players. I mean they always beat me, but that's beside the point

these aren't at 100%, but i won't call them 'stock'...more like 'when i hit a good one not swinging 100%'. assuming sea level in the 70s.

D: 245, but who knows these days?
3w: 225
2h: 200
4h: 185
5i: 175
6i: 165
7i: 155
8i: 145
9i: 135
PW: 125
50*: 110
54*: 100
58*: 85
P: up to 75 in the right situations

On course I think it's prob 15-20 yards less at this point. I'm hoping to add 5-8 mph club head speed by May 1. Have no clue how realistic that is

Check out superspeed training. I haven't done it yet. Still think that may be a Christmas present for myself.

Might do an H&F thread though those deteriorate into chaos rather quickly

Hit at lunch today. Got a little faster club speed but smash factor dropped a bit. This was the best one

I had one swing that was 118+ but I wonder if that was misread as most were in the 114.5-115.5 range

Gonna track my progress on increasing distance in a H&F log if anyone wants to weigh in

I've done a lot of measuring lately to get a sense. Also in Colorado and at altitude (5,500' or so).

D - 270
3w - 245
Driving Iron - 225+ (prob 210 off the deck and I'm getting better at that)
3h - 230
5i - 195
6i - 185
7i - 170
8i - 160
9i - 150
pw - 135
50* - 120
54* - 105
58* - 90

Some weird gapping at the top of the bag currently but I'm much more confident with the driving iron compared to a hybrid off the tee. It is mostly working out as when I'm more than 200y out I'm just hit the hybrid or driving iron based on where trouble is, where I want to leave it etc.

No I can’t do anything but hit it normal. Flight is super low compared to how I hit the hybrid tho! 10 days until I can try it out at Bandon. Looks like some wet fall weather for the foreseeable future down there so we’ll see.
