Internet golfer-ness! Haha Has the potential to be interesting. To me at least.

Went to the range after my round yesterday to try to work on some old man moves and shot shapes with the Cobra CB/MB set I've taken out twice now. Haven't played those shafts in ages and they feel very different right now. Shots have had to be pretty stock while I'm getting familiar. Funny thing at the range has me thinking about this.

This may or may not be a typical shot/swing of mine, at typical or not speed, with a typical or not 4i, going typical or not distance. Up to you to decide.




Based only on what you see, how long (yds) does this shot play on course. Give me ALL your internet conclusions. 😬



edit: On a more serious note. These clubs are seriously soft and quiet. It's nice.

I went 205-214 based on the assumed cooler weather. I'm assuming the CB/MB doesn't have the power loft of some irons. So that's my uneducated, quick snap shot of a thought.
 
i'll say carry 220, total 235.
 
So hard to tell.

changing my answer. I missed the 4 iron part.
That shot went 210 plus easy.

Hitting 'reduced flight' range balls? I'll call it 190. Hitting a quality real golf ball its 220 all day.
 
205-214. It's a wild guess.
 
240 total. 225 carry?
 
So hard to tell.

That shot went 210 plus easy.
Lol Poll spread is still pretty good so far regardless.
 
Let's go full story here:

Wearing pants -5 yards (no calf power)
1/4 zip -10 yards (friction)
Ball Cap - facing the proper direction and utilized as intended +5 yards (style points)
Legs slightly wider than shoulders +10 yards (man means business) Unless you have very dainty shoulders then only +5
Shaft bend on downswing +50 yards (Homie got muscle)

Great extension +70 yards (follow through like you mean it)

Floppy leg -10 yards (C'mon man - really?)

Great looking finish after strike +80 yards (Look good play good)
1638478168886.png
The stare and drop +20 yards (like a peacock in his prime)
1638478340489.png
Checking ball flight into the distance +30 yards (could have been 40 with the proper shades)

Really ... you tell ME how you did, I know exactly how you did based upon this 8 second video and 5 minutes of free time.
 
Low fade..... went 218 carry

 
Based on that video, I went with 205-214 yards.
 
Low fade 210 carry
 
you hit down on the ball, it traveled across the ground on a nice roll, would have rolled perhaps 180 yards, but plopped in the water 50 yards in front of you. So 50 yards. Was I right?
 
I got a carry of 210 ish on the revenge trackman.
Are you teasing me or is that a thing?! I would kill to be able to look at few from years ago. My memory sucks on the numbers.
 
225-234 with a slight fade which should have been a draw to cover the 235+ yards.
 
I love some of the shape speculation! That's the internet I know and love. :D
 
Good shoulder turn, inside-out downswing, full extension with right side, rounded/level finish = low draw that carried/ran >235.
 
Nice swing i voted 215-224!
 
185-194. What did I win?!?!?!?!
 
195-204. Only because you are old and not considering the handicap ;)
