How far does each club go for a mid-handicap golfer? I’m currently a 14 handicap, and these are my carry distances with each club, as measured using a Mevo+ launch monitor.
The numbers are averages taken from 5-10 shots with each club.
Also, in this video I run through my ‘What’s In The Bag?’, as some people have been asking. Let me know what you think!

Is it possible to take up golf late in life and still make it on tour? I’m embarking on a mission to go from golf rookie at 40 to tour pro at 50, doing everything I can to get good enough, quickly enough to qualify for the Legends Tour.
Follow my journey as I try to understand what drives sustainable improvement in golf, how quickly that improvement can come, and if this mad endeavour is even feasible.
Welcome to my Golf Life Crisis.

Pulling the ball left in a sim isn't that unusual if you're not used to hitting inside. I think it has to do with less body rotation as people can slightly change their swing without knowing it due to hitting at the screen rather than through the ball. I've had plus handicap golfers and a tour pro in my place do exactly the same thing. Once you get used to the sim it's not an issue though. Re driver spin it doesn't look too bad on the shot you showed for that sort of swing speed, but was obviously much higher on the previous shot which was still showing on the screen before you swung. What sort spin do you get as an average?
Great numbers!
Would have been nice for this fellow 14 handicapper if you'd listed clubhead speed and (average) smash factor too. I can some flashing by indicating you swing it about 5-7 mph harder than me on the longer sticks. Since the 101's compare pretty well to my i525's on loft, I may be able to compare
