I'm 50 (in 3 months), play with "traditionally lofted" blades and CBs (34° 7iron), my distances are in the "scratch" bracket for the longer stuff (6i and above) and quite a bit longer than that for the shorter stuff, but I'm about a 6...
Hey Jon! How come you used the p-avg for the 5 hc but not for scratch? The p-avg for scratch is quite a bit different to the avg so throws that last chart out a bit.
Hey. I was just trying to pick the sets of numbers I felt closest to having already displayed all the data I've got access too. I'm not especially close to the P-Avg of scratch was my point, closer to the P-Avg for 5 h'cap.
My distances are very similar but....im a mile in the air so I'm totally cheating :P You did your speed training series, I'm curious, did you do maintenance work afterwords and do you plan to do more?
:-) Glad you enjoyed. I cycled on and off the speed training for a while but not used recently as was taking a few lessons and working on some technical bits. Interestingly when I filmed this, my avg Driver clubhead speed was 107mph, which is 1mph higher than the avg when I was doing the speed sticks. My smash factor isn't as good right now and I'm putting too much spin on the ball, but the speed is solid.
Those average HC figures look very suspect. The distance between a 5 and 10 Hc driving distance is 2 yards...? I'm not convinced a 15Hc has a playing average of 236yds, and almost certain a 10Hc wouldn't be averaging 259 yds. I use Shotscope and find it very useful but I've always been suspicious of their analytics, there are just too many variables to take into account and simply averaging out all the 'data' and taking their results on face value...not sure.
Hey. To the last point I assume that is why they try to incorporate a performance average and average, but past that, I take your points and I'm just showing the data I can access. I suppose it's always going to be hard to get true global averages that are totally fair, this might be the closest we have easy access to. I take it as interesting to know, but realising it would likely have limitations.
Great video Mr. Jon, I'm newer to Golf and I was very curious how I stacked up to others! You've got me beat by a good 30 yards at the moment but with time and some lessons I'll make par with ya haha.
