LW 100 SW 115 GW 130 PW 140 9I 150 8I 160 7I 170 6I 185 5I 200 7W 215 5W 235 3W 255 DR 280 carry These distances are with "normal" lag pressure. (the pressure with which I play-not trying to get crazy) In fact, I'll give you a short story that was really funny to me. When my distances started getting so high, I thought that my clubs must have been sent to me de-lofted. I went to the local equipment store and had them checked. My LW measured 60.5 and my SW measured 56.5. They were opposite of what I thought; they were actually half a degree weak. ...can't blame the extra distance on the clubs...have to blame it on YODA and TGM. I met Ted last month when I took my lesson with Yoda. I have some nice footage of him on my own personal DVD now! The thing that I thought was most amazing was Ted does not take his hands high and does not have a lot of wrist cock at the top - in fact it looked to me like he was taking a 3/4 backstroke. He sets up at exactly impact fix and starts up from there (correct me if I'm wrong Ted). I said, "Man, you don't take the club back very far at all" He said, "That's it. That's all there is."
