![]() Men’s Scratch Golfer (0 Handicap) Golf Club DistancesĪ scratch golfer is someone who carries a handicap of 0. The higher the smash factor, the better contact you’re making and therefore getting maximum ball speed when leaving the club face which then translates to overall carry distance. All this number is, is the ball speed/clubhead speed and it indicates the quality of contact with the ball. The one number you may not be familiar in the above chart is the column called “Smash Factor”. 0002% of all golfers in the world, yikes! So what we’re talking about here are (get ready for this) the top. In the world there are about 60,000,000 people who describe themselves as golfers and only about 125 carry PGA Tour Card. Now before you start diving into these numbers, keep 1 thing in mind. Now before we dive into how far you should be hitting your clubs, let’s start by getting a baseline of how far pros and top amateurs really hit the ball. ![]() On the other end, you might be the guy who only hits a driver 200 yards but whenever you get inside a 100 yards, you’re an assassin.Īs a general rule though, the farther you hit the ball, the lower your handicap will be. Take the numbers we show below with a grain a salt since you might have a guy who’s a 14 handicap and crushes the ball but can’t sink a putt to save his life. Sure, being a great putter and being able to sink 10 footers consistently will lower your scores but everyone wants to be able to hit the ball far. Ok, so let me ask you a quick question, have you ever met anyone that’s ever said “I wish I didn’t hit the ball as far.”? Yeah, me neither.ĭistance is just one of those things that people look at as the Holy Grail. ![]()
