How far do you really hit it?

I know 99% of wrx'ers hit it 300+ but for the 1% who don't, where do you truly fall?

I feel like I'm a 290 guy but when its more like 260 on a good day.

Depends where I am. Locally, at 780’ above sea level:

Driver carry is 270 when I hit it solid,

3 wd carry is 230 (need a new one ;) )

7 iron is 170

When I think I hit it pretty good and far, I’ll play with a guy who can really move it out there and I get a reality check. I know a few guys who legitimately hit it 320-340 and I feel inadequate. Although, at 57, I’m well above the curve it seems.

Edit: sea level brings driver down to about 260 and 7 iron to just over 160. Usually if I play at sea level, it freaking hot so that helps.

51 YO at sea level.

Driver is 230 average, soft fairways. Longest ever measured was 290 and I thought i lost it. LOL. 7 iron 155 carry and a 3 wood is about 210 off the deck when I nut one. Those are real every day numbers. 400 yard par fours I'm hitting driver / 6 iron. so the math holds up.

Only difference is my age.

Odds are our swing speeds are just about even. During the Gear Trials, in cold and with lots of clothes on I was around 90. I know here in Florida I am up around 95 and can get it a bit faster if I am pumped. (Measured one time at 97 but not something I could pull off all of the time)

I hit one drive once, with a STRONG wind behind me, well past where I thought it should be. It was only when one of my fellow competitors opted to go up closer to the green that he located it - some 280 or so away from the tee and about 50 past where I would normally have been.

My new irons I purchased in July have gained about 5 yards for me. Lofts are actually slightly weaker, like 1 degree, but those faces are hot and the ball just seems to jump off of them. Funny to hit an 8 with a slight wind behind to a 156 shot. : )

i'm pretty much in the correct ranges in the chart at almost 72..

driver between 190-210 yds..

I'm 39. 5'8 172. Driver ss right around 110. Live in Florida so I'm at sea level. Driver carries between 265 and 275. Roll depends on course conditions. In Texas I can usually get it over 300.

3wood carries 255-265. 7 iron about 170.

My golf season is so variant in terms of weather i'm not sure i have distances outside of a lab.

Our weather was so bad this year, windy and rainy all season. We got like 2-3 weeks total of 30C and dry temps.

On a trackman i carry it 270+ with driver. Rarely did that outside this year. Though when the temp was nice i really hit some bombs.

It messes you because all of a sudden it's a nice day and you overshoot greens all day

Not far enough

Pretty much the same as Baitkiller,

I got a gps a few years ago, and found out how far I was really hitting it. Driver is normally in the 220-240 range total. 7 iron, a few yards more or less than 160. I'm 55 5 ft. 10 170. Never had my swing speed measured.

26 at sea level...carry 265-270 range. Idk why but I pound my irons, I feel like I hit them disproportionately further than my driver if that makes sense.

carry 220 pretty good roll with these sticks. I did hit my 5 wood to 15 ft today on a 485 yd five par

but missed the eagle !

Play a course with either 6300 yd tees or 6600...so if you said I could place my ball 240 down middle

all day I would jump on it.

I'm 39. 5'8 172. Driver ss right around 110. Live in Florida so I'm at sea level. Driver carries between 265 and 275. Roll depends on course conditions. In Texas I can usually get it over 300.

 

3wood carries 255-265. 7 iron about 170.

I count on 235 in the air and 15-25 of rollout. The roll can vary significantly, but the carry doesn't. Love fast fairways!

I'm 51 years old.

Driver carry is around 250.

Total is 265-270.

a newby and a beast at that ....welcome to the wrx.

Hes only 39, lets see how that user name holds up in ten years LOL.

55 yrs young, below sea Level( New Orleans) driver carry- 250, 7 iron carry - 165

Almost 50

175 carry w a 7 iron

265-275 carry w driver, Trackman fittings, speed 107-111

Former university golfer. I'm a short knocker w some guys I play with ... sometimes 40 yards back

We're 850 feet above sea level

Age 53, handicap ~15, driver carry ~210 in the Cincinnati area in the summer. 7 iron carry (2016 M2) 140-150.

Thanks. I may be a newby here but I've been playing since I was 13. Love the game and have a 3 yr old who shows proficiency already. If he takes to the game then I could have a good one when he gets older.

Hes only 39, lets see how that user name holds up in ten years LOL.

Lol. That name has been with me since yahoo email back in 1997. Had a buddy who always used to call me getsitdaily (my last name is Dailey). Had to create an email address in 1997 and the only combination available was getitdaily...still have that email.

I'm 55 y/o. My driver SS is between 101 and 105, based on a series of shaft fittings this year. Driver carry average is 255, so in a round I'll have some at 240 and some at 275. My 3 wood is reliably 225-235 off the tee. My 7 iron distance is 160. My smash factor indicates I'm not consistent enough to get maximum ball speed from my swing speed.... but maybe tomorrow...

We generally play at 6,400 - 6,600 yards.

I generally carry the ball 249 yds with my driver. Number might sound silly, but I know if I need a true 250 yd carry, I better jump hard on it or choose another line.

Age 57. Driver 250, 7i 150 (old school loft = 8i). I shouldn't be allowed on WRX.

35, 5'10",solid carry 240, 270 is crushed for me. Play a 16* SLDR so don't get much roll out.

I don't know at this point, but nowhere near my handicap or age demographic according to the chart.

Age 60.

Driver Carry - about 220. On a good day, I can get a little more out of it.

3 wood Carry - about 205 off the deck

7 iron carry - about 143

PW carry - about 115

50* wedge - about 100

54* wedge - about 85

53yo, driver SS is ~ 104mph, ballspeed is 155ish, carry is 240-255 with 0-20 yards of rollout depending on fairway conditions.

I''ll see if I can find a Trackman photo from earlier this year.

Edit: found a track man photo from march

I can't find my birth certificate so lets go with i'm old.

Driver when hit on the screws 245 carry 247 with roll. Have some serious spin going on but it is a fairway finder and works for moi.

7i 150

Putter I can off green it with the best of them. With carry.

asdf

I like what I am seeing. Now I feel like im part of the crowd versus a guy who was the only one on the planet who cant hit it 330. :)

keep em coming.
