Man this could get interesting with all the superlofted clubs but let's see how it goes. This is going to be the low end of my averages when I hit it good. What's yours? Age may affect some answers but I'm almost 35.

Driver 10.5 - 255
3 wood 13.5 - 230
4 hybrid 19 - 215
4 iron - 200
5 iron - 190
6 iron - 180
7 iron - 170
8 iron - 160
9 iron - 152
PW - 140
GW - 132
54 - 118
58 - 105

I don't play on a lot of courses that roll out so this is carry.

This is going to be interesting to see how many people tell the truth. I recently saw an article that put the average driver distance well below 250.

That’s because everyone is going to post total distance with the disclaimer “if I hit it good”.

I’m guilty of it

I am prepared for the down votes. I have played with a couple guys on TD, but I don't know how much they frequent the golf board. Next time I go to a monitor I will take some pics of the stats for future arguing. My driver clubhead speed is between 122-126mph on average. My carry distance is as follow:

Callaway XR Pro with X-Stiff Shaft
Driver 8° - 300

Callaway Warbird (1998) with UST x-Stiff Shaft
3 wood 15° - 275

Callaway Original Big Bertha (1991-1994) with UST X-Stiff Shaft
5 wood 18° - 255

Callaway X-14 Pro Series (2001) with Stiff Rifle Shafts
4 iron - 215
5 iron - 205
6 iron - 195
7 iron - 185
8 iron - 175
9 iron - 165
PW - 155

Cleveland 588 RTX
52° - 135
56° - 125
60° - 100

Get a ~19* hybrid and replace the 56*/60* with a 58*.

My handicap is 11 now

Cause my short game and putting skills eroded when I stopped playing.

I am tips and down - count every shot - no mulligans...


....Unless I am playing with old college friends and the alcohol and smoke are flowing - I don't count those scores!!

Also, my scores skyrocketed due to a medical condition - these days I really enjoy just getting out and being on the course.

My days of 70s and money games are long over.

M2: PW 120; 9 iron 130; 8 iron 140; 7 iron goes about 155 or so; 6 iron 170

I am better with the irons than the driver which I probably hit about 225 or so.
