clubhead mass- 250 grams

there were some other variables but this was the meat and potatoes.

Result=301 yards

Looks like the measurements were fairly accurate. I am more curious than ever now to have it re-checked since re-vamping the swing.

Also checked on some tour averages: most tour pros are in the 115mph range with Tiger, Daly, and Keuhne in the 130mph range.
what was the name of the website you used to find that info?????

and the fact that the avg pro is 115 but the average pro doesn't hit 300+ makes it hard to believe that a 105 mph went 300, that is all that i was saying. you would have to have absulte obove optimun launch angle spin rate and the moon and the stars need to be lined up. lol but maybe becaue you club head is so heavy and that is why you were able to hit it so far. buti didn't mean to sound too negaive, if you say you did i believe you, i just never head of a SS so low getting that much distance before.

i found a web site that says this


Distance for clubhead speed :: 50 m/s 115mph
Flight Time = 6.5
yardCarry = 232 yd
Total Range = 264 yd
Initial Backspin = 4027 rev per minute


which is what i have heard before and sounds more accurate to me, but dind't have club head mass so maybee that is why yours went so far (maybe you have a heavy club head)
