What are your distances? - Junior Golf Edition

Bridges said:
I say the distances look alright. 3 wood might be a little far. Tour guys hit 7 irons 170+ Hell Dustin Johnson hits sand wedge at 150 lol I'm 6 foot 165-170. And hit my 7 iron 158-163 a little farther on well struck shots. So I'd say his distances are probably pretty close to be right. The long drive champion(Jamie don't know how to spell his last name starts with an S lol) only weighs I think around 170 and he bombs them 345+.

Like I said, the 3 wood threw me off a bit.
I was talking about the preciseness of his measure, but its all possible.

Remember lofts/lengths are different to in iron sets. So you could hit an 8 iron 145 in your set and an 9 iron 145 in someone elses.

Idk why I'm commenting in here, I just can't sleep at all lol

Yeah you might be right about the irons i don't measure so those probably aren't right, but I'm sure about the three wood, and its not a superfast. And I can't hit a driver 200 yards.

I do get a ton of compression on the ball and hit my irons longer than all of my buddies. I used to hit them even further but was just simply accidently de-lofting each club before I hit, I may even do that a slight bit now which is why I do hit them pretty long.

When I first started my swing change, I was hitting my PW 150 no problem, but that was because I was de-lofting it so much.

I should have edited it a bit, I don't think I hardly get my driver 280. I lack severe distance with my woods.

I'm a short 5' 2" 110 lbs. and I hit my driver about 200. I used to hit it farther but I had to straighten it out some so it's shorter.
