Jack Hamm posts average club distances

[Auditor_Kevin]

Hey All,

 

So Jack Hamm (of Hammer X driver fame) posted his club distances. I've copied them below. Thoughts? :)

 

I OUT DRIVE ALL OF THE LEADING PRO’S BY OVER 100 YARDS...look at these shocking distances... This is why I hold all the records and am the WORLD'S LONGEST DRIVER...

 

Driver 10 degree loft. Swing Speed = 162MPH (Golf Digest)

carry 457 yards…total distance 473..

3wood.. 20 degree.. 420 yards

4 hybrid.23 degree 400 yard

5 wood 26 degree 410 yards

3 iron… 380 yards.

4 iron... 370 yards.

5 iron... 350..yards

6 iron...330.. yards.

7 iron... 300,, yard.

8 iron... 270 yards.

9 iron... 250 yards..

PW... 225 yards..

Is Jack Hamm also the dictator of North Korea?

[TheFatTick]

So he can hit a sand wedge 225 yards and still card a 7 on a 360 yard hole?

[jusme]

shocking indeed, must be swinging easy. Id advise he takes a lesson or 2 to see where he is loosing distance

[BrianL99]

I think he's got a gapping issue, between his 3 wood and 5 wood ... & between his 3 iron and 4 iron.

[MtlJeff]

If he practiced like a pro for a couple of years he'd probably be hitting it 550-600yds easily with driver.

Video or it ain't real!!!!

 

This guy is the biggest "I" doctor ever!!

 

Powww....

[the bishop]

Haha. Jack Hamm doesn't even rate as "golf talk"

[Kenny Lee Puckett]

well, I guess never again on WRX will a more ridiculous list of someone's club yardages be posted, ever.

 

edit: just gotta add, I love the purported 3wd @ 20* and 5wd @ 26*, cracks me up!

[golfandfishing]

This guy still playing balatas or something? Weak.

[onlyomar]

Jacked up lofts . . .

[dan360]

He can't putt worth a phuck. His own words.

 

I lost interest three generations of Corvettes ago. And haven't worn black Levi's in over a decade.

I would love to show up to my course with pw and putter!

[Mych]

I'd love to see the height on a 225 yard wedge shot. That thing would bring rain, lol.

[Auditor_Kevin]

Isn't there some kind of virtual Trackman where you can plug in results and it fills in the rest? I'd love to plug these lofts and distances into there and see what it says.

[blaird]

I would love for him to do a 30 min special on the golf channel and let him hit on trackman and just see what his actual numbers are. Would really love to see him hit the hammer and compare to a LD driver or M1 or Epic SZ or something.

Monte and Brian Pavlet, in a thread long ago, both said they never say Hamm at any legit long drive events. And believe he has never entered any including Senior, etc. He about their same age. Monte went 2nd, 1st, 2nd with Sellinger and Pavlet winning.

Legitimate Fake News

[Man_O_War]

there's a golf course in hell for Jack Hamm

[Johnny_Fairway]

That's 12 clubs listed, so with putter 13. The 14th is presumably SW, but he just couldn't bring himself to admit to hitting a club only 200 yards.

 

In a world where seemingly everyone plays 4 wedges, you've gotta admire that a man hitting a 225 yard PW is using only 2 wedges. Prudent to be much more concerned about those tight 10 yard gaps he has at the ever present 400, 410 and 420 yard scoring zones.

 

I hit a 200 yard SW once. Unfortunately it was from a greenside bunker.

[bladehunter]

So I’m calculating he must be swinging his pw at 126 mph. And driver at 178. Can one be shot for telling lies this big ?

[Qqq123xx]

Shopping mall parking distances. I hit my putter 235 into a stiff breeze the other day.....

[Shilgy]

So he can hit a sand wedge 225 yards and still card a 7 on a 360 yard hole?

Of course, he doesn't have a 360 yard club as you can see on the chart. So he hits two six irons which is 660 and seven iron back 300 to get the 360. Then you figure with that strength he'll four putt. Easy 7. :)

[soregongolfer]

I wonder how much he benches/squats/deadlifts?

The Jack Hamm "Make Distance Great Again" saga never fails to amuse. Just to contribute, the following link is from a 1997 piece from the L.A. Times but the usual hilarity is still there:

The exhaust hole in the back is about the only accurate piece of information in that article.

[757USMCVET]

I literally laughed out loud just now reading about an exhaust hole on a golf club

[vaca22]

What the heck does he do from 224 and in??
