I have not tried to throw any of the clubs in my bag so I am not sure how far I can toss them or how far the carry distance would be.
The Carry Distance of the Clubs In Your Bag

Which is what it should be right Tad? Cause I always assumed that your short irons/wedges were scoring clubs. So I'm curious as to how some people play a ten yard roll out when shooting to the green

I think part of it is course conditions. My local muni course is concrete right now. If i hit the green with a wedge, it'll stop or back up. If I hit in front of the green with a wedge, it will kick forward about 3 yards.

One thing that I've been struggling with is why people think that distance and handicap don't directly correlate with one another. And I don't want to pick on anybody, but if you take some of the longer hitters that posted in this thread that are in the teens for handicap and give them less distance, chances are they are going to have an even higher handicap.
I think we all know that scoring happens from 100 yards and in. If you take 1 shot to get to within 100 yards versus taking 2 or 3 shots to get within 100 yards, your handicap will be lower with only taking 1 shot to get there. I also think we all know that hitting a 9 iron is generally a lot easier than hitting a 5 iron, so again I'm just struggling to see how being a longer hitter doesn't correlate with handicap.
Sorry for my rant.
Anways my handicap is right around 2 right now and here are my clubs for full swing yardages. I don't know the avg carry, etc. just the club I pull for these yardages given calm course conditions.

Anything under 130 is generally a combination of different clubs/swings. Generally, I don't use a full swing for my wedges.
The 10 yard gaps are due to gripping down and swinging easier to shorten distance. My 6-PW usually don't roll out very much after they land.

I tend to agree with this. I've seen a lower index due to improvements inside 100 yards, but if I'm there, it's mostlly a third shot situation for me.
I think it could be due to several factors:
- length does not mean accuracy. How many of these guys carrying it 270 plus hit the FW more than 50% of the time
- 100 and in is pretty much all touch and technique IMO and truth be told, some long hitting amateurs just don't spend the time working on that short game
- perhaps some of the numbers we are seeing are exaggerated. Are we seeing averages posted or perfectly struck shots? There can be quite the gap there.

Hey Man, Nice Shot
My brother, a weekend golfer at best, completely MURDERS his shots. He's easily 2 clubs ahead on irons and drives, forget it. Problem is he definitely gets to see the whole course, he's everywhere. I understand where you are coming from, but unless the distance has some meaning and consistency it's more trouble than it's worth. His misses are further exaggerated because of the scale of his shots. A fade with his drive is just as bad as a slice for most people because the shot is in the air longer. He's the perfect example of a long hitter that has a high handicap.
What I've found to be most important in any part of the game is accuracy with every club, putter included. If I can't hit my area or target I'm just out there hoping for something good to happen.

I totally agree that length doesn't relate to accuracy. I just think that if you take two equally skilled golfers and give one a 5 or 6 iron and one a 9 iron, the golfer with the 9 iron on average will get the ball closer to the hole. That's why I think if you take away the length that some of the posters in this thread have and make them hit 5,6,7 irons when they are usually hitting 9 irons or PWs, their handicap would go up.
I will say that I think once you get into the single digit handicaps that length becomes a little less of an advantage because of short game, but it's still a huge advantage. I think if a golfer, regardless of skill level, was to ask himself/herself if they would rather hit a 6 iron or a 9 iron into a green, that most likely 10/10 of them would choose the 9 iron.
In the end though, there isn't a right or wrong answer. And I do apologize if I came off as saying those who disagree with me were wrong.

now I really feel inferior, a 250 5I is a bomb, Im pretty sure I cant hit that down wind, down hill and down a cart path
hopefully Im behind you guys this weekend so I can check some of these big shots out while you claim victory for Team Dean!

I would love to see 250 yd 5 iron.

I know I'm a new golfer but man I must suck! I don't know yet what I'm getting out of all of my clubs but….
Driver 230
7i 135
9i 100
These numbers are very consistent and I work my other clubs around them.

Don't feel bad goodearth, I'm in the same boat as you. Here are the few numbers I'm sure about:
4h: ~195
7i: ~150
PW: ~100 (should be longer based on my 7i)
Fill in the blanks for the rest of my clubs. If the yardages could be believed at Black Mountain, I'm starting to get ~230-250 (with roll) out of my driver, but I am so inconsistent that every time I hit it it's like an unopened present ... I may be happy surprised, or horrified once it's unwrapped.
I've decided not to stress about my distances. Right now, as long as I can hit all of my clubs straight to the target I've picked out, I'm happy. Given enough lessons, the distance will come.

I hit those clubs pretty good, my biggest problem are the rescues etc. out on the fairway. Either topping the ball of hitting thick. One in 3 is good contact and distance.

I had the same problem, still do actually. I had little tic's in my swing (dipping my shoulder, or lifting up my foot) which threw my swing off. Result, massively fat or topped hits respectively. Plus, I tend to be wristy with my shots, which results in casting. That is guaranteed to sap distance from your shots. Slowly working out those negative tendencies in my game with lessons. One day they'll result in lower scores and an actual handicap (that's what I tell myself).

One shot at a time....
My driver= 225-240
7i= 147-153
9i= 122-126
I too am way short of many of those posts. It's what I average. We all have those "pure" shots that are way better than what we have posted but, that's in every 1/10 shots. I'm very happy with what I do hit. My longer hits are when I actually slow it down and hit center clubface. We all think we have to swing out of our shoes to get distance. My swing looks very short to many I play with. I think my distance will get better also as I become better at striking the ball. I hit my 4i a good 202 yds yesterday on a par 4 that played 363. I would only wish I could do that every time. Usually I will play my 4i on shots at 180 yds. I love golf!

All of these yardages were much lower (ex: Driver roll out was 275) before I took 4 lessons that helped me change my swing path. Now I am working on consistency and of course the short game.

Now that I'm using the Game Golf system, I have a completely new understanding of how far I really hit my clubs...
