To find a TrackMan Certified coach, please see our locator: trackmangolf. I have a terrible slice that knocks A LOT of yards off of my drive.
My average distance was My longest drive was On the longest drive, the projected distance without the slice was yards. On average, all of the projected distances were yards further without the slice. Average club speed was , average ball speed was , and average rpm was between Launch angle was between Did your coach share the TrackMan report with you on mytrackman.
It will make it a lot easier to give a qualified answer if we have all the numbers Your ball speed is a little low which could indicate an off-center strike. Spin Rate is on the high side, which also could indicate an off-center strike, and probably a negative attack angle — both will shorten your distance. If you are a right handed player the slice and above numbers could be due to a heel strike.
Please have a look at this video about Smash Factor. I shared the dispersion plot with our local club committee who are thinking of installing trackman after redeveloping several holes, and was asked questions along these lines: 1. Is the dispersion linear, eg at yards is it the same proportion at 88 feet or more? Can trackman info like the dispersion plot data be projected over a course layout?
Hi Gerry. Thanks for the post. The questions you ask are great questions, but unfortunately that data is not readily available. Our TrackMan Combine database would contain the answer to those questions, but it would require significant work to pull that information out.
The plan is to include this type of information within TrackMan University in the future, but that is likely many months away at this point. Sorry that I can not be of better help right now. My problem is the amount of power i have and need to work on half wings. My taylermade aero burner average distance is yards on a good day yards.
My 8 iron yards 5iron yards Pw is yrds And loft 56 at yrds Loft yrds How do i control the power to less distance? Or should i take control on the distance i have? Bilan, I think you should rub one out before you get to first tee box. It should make you a little. Very interesting but sort of depressing article.
And also wondering how LPGA fits into this chart. I seem to have the same speed as pro women and they are playing the same distances that I am but scoring way way lower with a game built from precision over speed. You dont need to be depressed your swing speed is high enough to play very good golf. Mine isnt that much higher and i hit driver yards. You just have to be fit correctly and learn how to deliver the club better to the ball. As you can guess my improvement has now become dependent on driver efficiency and distance.
I have been working around that weakness by using shorter clubs off the tee but it leaves me with much longer second shots. Made more swing improvement of late and starting to control my driver more. The way forward has to be more tighter averages with the driver maximising my best yardage from the swing speed I have. There are golfers out there who are scratch only hitting the ball Anyone remember young Guan the 14 year old at Augusta he was so small he could only drive it but did alright.
I am a 35 year old AMA at a I have played golf for 22 years. This philosophy has been a revelation to me. After reading this article I did more research and discovered I should be playing nearly yards shorter, and doing so without shame. Including a personal best one under 35 for nine. My teachers are always trying to get me to change my swing to generate club head speed, but this consistently leaves me frustrated and physically sore. Once you except your limitations, you can get out and enjoy the game we LOVE instead of loathing it.
My average driving distance is but IF I can make a shot in the sweet spot Stars Aligned after a long Prayer I can go to measured on the golf course. Crazy thing is I hit my 3 wood off the tee about yards. I have completely lost my iron swing due to injury and need a swing coach as well as does your program cover this as well?
My average club separation is about 15 yards. I think this is very interesting but misleading. Most golfers I know are happy to drive the ball yards and keep it in the fairway. I once read that if all golfers had to count every stroke they took, and appropriate penalty shots, only 10 percent could legitimately break a Low sample size and unrepresentative sample are obvious culprits, but it's very possible your measuring technology was flawed.
TrackMan Combine data collected from over 10, golfers found the average clubhead speed for all men was In other words, your average of mph for the cohort is actually above TrackMan's 99th percentile! Also, you can't say 1 golfer out of 26 or 1 golfer out of 96 achieved a Maybe that one person in each group was extremely special.
If you look at PGA tour averages since , the 99th percentile is closer to mph. In that case, it seems there's really no practical benefit to swinging that fast. Anecdotally, I also find that targeting higher clubhead speed can be counterproductive if you're already high. I averaged around mph with a 2 handicap, then I went on this stupid crusade for distance IMO, if you are already above , you should be really careful about increasing your speed, or do what you can to maximize distance through fitting.
Even with , you can average over yards. Good points Jason. I'm sure Tiger in was able to swing well over mph if not mph, but as he matured, he realized that he needed to focus more on his accuracy. Even Bubba seems to tone it down and rarely goes all out because accuracy is just as important as distance. If you look at the guys on the long drive tour, they are lucky to hit 1 50 yard grid out of 10 balls.
The average golfer will struggle mightily to square a clubface even with a swing in the mph range. So I say just try to get to the PGA tour average or a speed where youc an hit a high percentage of fairways. Also realize that genetics play a huge role. Case in point is Kyle Berkshire who is a bigger than average guy but not particularly strong and when he turned 20, he randomly started hitting it yards.
Great insight Jason. We did note in the article that the sample size in each age group as broken down needs to continue to grow. We are using flightscope so no concern if technology we are using is flawed, great question though. Average clubspeed for all men is not a very helpful number as it combines men in their 70s to 20 year olds, hence the start of building this database. Sorry to hear about your injuries, that is what the other parts of our database actually look at is how much speed can your body handle.
It sounds like the s were above what your body was able do handle. Happy to chat offline with you about all this if your interested in more detail. My contact is on our website or my tpi profile. Premium simulators can be pricey, so getting a proper club fitting is a great way to measure swing speed without coughing up a lot of money. Going to a store or a pro shop can be smart to get the right clubs for you to swing faster.
Getting fitted properly for golf clubs will give you the best opportunity to put forth your best swings. You can work with a fitter to get the proper length on your clubs to best suit your height and swing. This will lead to more consistent swings and allow you to pick up your swing speed once your mechanics are down. You can track your swing speed by using a personal launch monitor or a high-end simulator. There are multiple ways to increase your swing speed, such as lifting weights, using swing aids, and strengthening your core.
Swinging as hard as possible will not work if you cannot make good contact. So while increasing swing speed can add distance to your game, you should gradually build it up as a part of your consistent swing.

When golfers have confidence in their driver, they can score lower. I can't tell you that the driver is the most important club in the bag, but a day when your driver is working compared to one where One of the things I really can't stand is when my favorite golf ball marker or my rangefinder cleaning rag goes missing in my golf bag.
With all the pockets and room for gear and accessories, why do Short courses with yards par 4 means driver and wedge make some birdies save some pars and you shoot 3 under all day. I advocate playing from the correct tees to make golf challenging and fun I mean why not and why make yourself hit hybrids into greens? My previous statement holds true I believe and it will be very common to see pga tour guys hit an average drive of and some holes yards.
The tour commissioner will probably have a short par 4 as yards and an average of The average par 5 will be in the ball park all the way to to make it a 3 shot hole. Mark my words the future will be drivers with yard 3 woods this would leave them a gap wedge into that 3 shot yarder.
I believe baseball would be a great analogy for this because you see mlb players attain the highest skill as pitchers and hitters whereas the minors are full of dead read power hitters and straight throwing mph pitchers that would go knowhere in the mlb. This would be very boring for the viewer and terrible for ratings seeing guys hit it again and bubba watson hitting his booming yard drives,but it might be the best direction for the game overall.
I can definitely agree that someone that rarely plays golf or practices needs to lower expectations and get real. At all. Tom Wishon says golf club technology has been maxed out for a while now. I would think ball technology is almost at its peak as well.
So with the greatest equipment advancements behind us and water conservation on the rise, courses are likely near max yardage as well. While swing speed is certainly important in relation to distance, better struck shots and rhythm seem to be the biggest points that fall by the wayside.
Sometimes a shorter back swing can help with consistency, accuracy, and distance. Many pro golfers actually have shorter back swings, but are hitting the ball just as far, if not farther than a lot of these highly athletic golfers that depend solely on their physical fitness.
Another point to make is that in order to crush the ball accurately at Professional Speeds, your whole body has to be able to keep up with it. The faster you swing, the more your body has to work to accomplish this the more that can go wrong. This also places a tremendous amount of wear on the human body. Tiger Woods, along with many other pro golfers are prime examples.
Where is Tiger? How many back surgeries has he had? Most definitely that 95 mph for the driver is the low end for handicappers. Were you studying 70 year old handicappers?? B Says- While I agree that it is not true that hdcp have an average swing of 95mph. That is for sure the low range. Most swing in the range. However, your claim to carry a PW and see it as average is just as ludicrous.
For the last 5 years of swingman data which includes every shot hit on the PGA tour, the tour average PW travelled yards. With the exception of the driver and 3 wood my iron yardages are like his. My swing speed radar has me hitting 60 mph. I would love to hit it longer but my max is and my average is around I do not know B personally, but I play a lot of golf and my handicap is between 0 and 5, and my 7 iron carry is But the numbers he says he carries a golf ball is very hard to believe.
That seems crazy low. The first time I used Trackman I was at 95mph with the 7. I only started playing golf 2 weeks ago. Went in for a club fitting this week and hit about 30 balls with a 7 iron. Swing speed varied from 92 to 97 mph and carried around yards. Not all perfectly straight I will admit but was told this was at the higher end of the spectrum.
My average driver club head speed is mph and can get up to on a really really good day. This equates to a carry distance of — yds. Too many people have become preoccupied with maxing out on clubbed speed and distance.
Whats far more important is quality of strike, control of distance and most important of all a good short game. This gives me hope! My carry distance with an i7 is about the same, but my driver carries only about yards.
Look at the lpga tour if your a good average golfer.
