Yes it was. Pros on the senior tour still hit it that far. Used to play with one of them till he left for college. Yes that was a long time ago.
You were playing with more loft, higher CoG and a balata, you were not fitting a pitching wedge 150 yards. Neither was Tiger Woods, John Daly, or DLIII

The frick?? I came across an old clip of Tiger hitting a PW from 185 out in some thick arse grass and putting that ball damn near on the hole..
I use a fairly traditionally lofted PW and at 45 I'm not far off from that number.. Hell if I were playing some off these clubs with jacked lofts that would be a breeze

2000 Firestone. Jumper out of the rough, swung as hard as he physically could, and landed the ball 15-20 yards short because it wasn’t going to spin. This is after the introduction of the ProV1

That’s not traditional loft and the construction of the club is still different

Solid 6 iron should do the trick or a hard 7 depending on slope and windage

Won long drive competition in my last scramble a few weeks ago. Felt good
Longest drive Ive ever had was 370 yards. Drove a par 4 green. I also drove the green on 18 at Mobile Country Club a few years ago. That was only 368, but it was on the front fringe so about 355. Got a crazy good roll up the hill.

And that's still further than 150 yards.. out of the rough mind you.. He was using some proto Titleist blades and a Nike ball..

I was referring to my age..
Also, I said fairly traditional and I wasn't referring to pre 70's lofts .. average PW in the 60's was like 52° which is a Gap these days..
I was referring to something in the past 30 years.. average on players PW ranged from 45-49 depends on manufacturer

You are aware the ball goes further out of the rough in some instances no?
quote:

Yes, so not a balata. Do you know what that is?
quote:

That’s a 12-15 yard difference in carry distance

Because the chances that you hit it farther than the longest best golfers on the planet is about .001%
Edit: Thanks for confirming. 162 ball speed with driver ain’t getting anywhere close to what you are saying

like i said, got a wicked roll up the hill last year for the 355 drive. I can still poke it out there over 300 in my middle age. How about you? Still trying to reach 250?

Oh look, a pissing contest.
To the OP, look into a 7 wood or 5 hybrid, which should get you to the middle of your current gap.
