| Re: Driver distance Doing the math, that's 42 MPH. Running every single sim I have, I don't get you driving past 100 yards at that speed (at sea level). Now, if that's MPH, at 70 MPH I can see you up around 140-150 carry, and baked fairways can get you 180. So, either: You have a great AoA and your spin numbers are dead-nuts perfect OR You're over-reporting how far you hit it OR You're under-reporting how fast you swing Now, let's compare apples to apples: At your age, age is a non-starter. Let's compare you to kids your size and see how the numbers stack up. Is 4.7 your height (4'7") or is that your handicap (as handicap has nothing to do with distance)? If, somehow, you've managed to truly get 180 yards of carry with a 40 mph swing speed, you've got a very, very bright future in Long Drive if you can keep that ratio up. As to your specific question about whether or not this is fast for you, I'd say that only you know if that's fast for you.
