Data & Charts

Realistic golf club distance ranges by handicap and swing speed, from driver to wedge, so you stop guessing and stop borrowing tour-pro numbers.

How far the average golfer hits every club, from beginner to tour pro. A full yardage chart for driver through wedge, with the data behind it.

Wondering if your distances are normal? Here's how far you should hit each club by handicap level, and why chasing more yardage often backfires.

Driver distance peaks in your 20s-30s and tapers after. Here's a decade-by-decade driver distance chart so you can benchmark against players your own age.

The average golfer hits a 7-iron around 140-150 yards, not the 170 they think. Here are real 7-iron distances by handicap and swing speed, plus the data behind them.

You can add swing speed with sequencing, speed training, and a proper fit, not just swinging harder. Here are the levers ranked by measured mph gain.

Smash factor is ball speed divided by club speed, and 1.50 is the driver ceiling. Here's what it measures, why it matters, and how to raise yours with better contact.

Spin rate measures how fast the ball rotates off the clubface. Here's what counts as a good driver spin rate by swing speed and handicap, and how the number changes club to club.

Launch angle is the vertical angle your ball leaves the clubface at, and it's one of the two numbers — along with ball speed — that determine how far a shot carries. Here's what a good launch angle looks like by club and swing speed.
