You could probably add 10-20m to those numbers for me. My old clubs used to be 5i 150m but now it's more like a 6-7.

Not that it helps me at all haha.

And the worst thing is both dissident and my younger bro hit them another club longer than me!

Would depend a lot on your clubs as well as your swing.

I go something like this

LW 60
SW 80
AW 100
Pw 110
9i 120
8i 130
7i 140
6i 150
5i 160
4i 170
3h 180-190
3w 200-220
D 230-250 (hardly ever lol)

4 and 5 basically never come out of the bag I prefer to hit my 3h as I'm way more consistent with it

Not bad yardage even with the slope advantage.
Off the tee or deck?

Off the deck. Flushed it and thought it would have been 30 from the green but then walked down there and found it on the right front. Certainly a fluke.

Using the golfshot app helps a lot with working out distances

Come to think of it, I just lied. It was 232 to green centre when I hit the shot so he ball would have gone 225 or so. I was still happy with that lol

Not sure mate, fitting tomorrow hopefully then the turnaround depends on how much modification is needed.
If it's only minor then 1-2 weeks from Sydney. If they need a fair bit then up to a month from Arizona.

Took out the Sw... Do you have another SW you like? Or do you plan not to go into the bunkers Spargo?

I'm going to be based in Woomera for the next 3-4 months so my options are shit! or travel 2hours to Port Augusta.

I believe Roxby have a course but I'd imagine like Woomera it would be scraps, F@#k that.
