This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable

browsers. This calculator is designed to give the approximate distance
that you can expect from each club in your bag, based on the input
values given. While this is only approximate, it has been tested by a
large cross section of golfers and acclaimed as accurate. Several
manufacturers have also tested it and agree that it is extremely
accurate. Howver, good it is, for a more accurate evaluation of your
attributes and abilities, see your local PGA professional. Tee it high and
let it fly!

Our calculator takes all of your factors into consideration and

determines from them the normal shot distance of each club, assuming
reasonably good impact and contact with the ball. The weak value is for
a slightly less than perfect hit for beginning to average players or a soft
shot for that club for better players; the strong value is for a near
perfect hit for beginning to average players or a hard hit for that club
for better players. These are general calculations and do not take into
consideration that loft and club head angles may vary from different
manufacturers. Drivers and wedges in particular have several possible
selections for loft. You will also see that based on ability and size, iron
distances vary, in some cases significatly. Better players tend to strike
irons at the correct impact angle more often than higher handicap
players. Higher handicap players often hit 7, 8 and 9 irons for
maximum distance while better players hit them for accuracy and
stopping ability. No consideration is taken for temperature, humidity,
altitude, trajectory, ball compression, wind or firmness of the ground
for roll. Assumptions based on both theory and facts are that metal
headed "woods" are slightly to considerably longer than woods; better
players may prefer to carry a 1, 2, 3 and 4 irons while average to
higher handicap players may prefer to use the metal or wood rough
equivalents for more consistent play. The average shot is not perfect; in
fact even good players rarely hit perfect shots. Good players have a
wider range for each club and hit fewer poor shots; they may not hit all
that many more good shots. The greatest distance factors are
mechanics and club head speed. Not all advice is good and often is bad.
Practice and repetition create good players. See your local pro for
hands on advice.
