Yoda was remembering distances that I'd used in a few shots when we played together. I got a little crazy on a few holes and "NUKED" a couple. I'm purely hitting these days, and I play with VERY FEW people that are capable of hitting it past me. My distances are long for most...
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.
