re: Best way to get yardage for your iron shots?

The column headers are driver swing speed. I play between 106-109 on a standard driver swing so I look at 106 column for some general guidance and know I can swing easy or press it for the numbers on either side.

It's not perfect but it's a good guide. You'll have to work your 5 wood, hybrid, 3/4 iron region a bit...

I'll leave y'all alone, Jesus.

Just go to any local club-fitter and hit on trackman for 30 minutes, and, yes.

Hit my pitching wedge 160-163

I don't see why this is far fetched... I usually hit my PW on par 3's 150-160 out.

I don't know either. And most people in this thread are at least a little bit familiar with my posting and should know that I don't give a shite about bragging about stupid shite like how far I hit my damn pitching wedge.

Someone says something that other posters can't or don't do and the insecure shite show starts. Say something about a pitching wedge and you get hit with, "bet you're rich and frick 10s and have a huge dick too."

If I wanted to brag, it wouldnt be about my fricking golf game.

When I started playing decades ago, it was with persimmon woods and forged irons. My handicap didn't start to improve significantly until I began to concentrate more on my short game. It doesn't help your confidence when you consistently hit 300 yard drives and consistently 3 putt for doubles.

My problem is irons from 100-150...because I hit my PW for every shot it that range. A 56 degree is the only other wedge I have and I'm not comfortable hitting hit outside of about 80 yards. So pretty much anything over that I'm just feeling out my PW and thats obviously a horrible strategy to have. I need to add a couple clubs that will give me something to hit between those distances. It'll take a while to be able to hit them because like I said, I'm just not good at taking full swings with them.

I had to quit playing 10 years ago because of back problems. Prior to that, I couldn't go at it 100%. That's when I began to concentrate on accuracy over distance. And as I wrote earlier devoting most of my practice time to the short game.

Try a gap wedge that comes with a set. It has the bigger head like the irons but will have ~50ish degrees of loft.

When I was 18 I hit a PW about 155. I was just wildly inaccurate. I hit my PW135 now and my scores are way lower (Im 26)

165 is high but its not insane. I know my brother hits his at least 155. hes just in the woods and shite a lot.


Also many clubs are jacked up loft wise now. So when people hit their irons they say OMG i hit these 10 yards father!! when really they are hitting a 9 iron loft that says PW on the bottom. Taylormade clubs are super jacked up
