One of the areas where amateur players often fight with the distance gap is in the forests of the street. Clubs are not always stable and they are not used as often as something like a 7-Hekuri. This can make it difficult to know if your numbers are “good” or just on average.
Shot Explocation Separated updated data On average the Wood distance of the street with Handikap. This includes P-AVG (average performance), which filters errors and tells you what kind of garden you can expect on a strong strike.
If you want to know how your road road distances are accumulated against other handicap players, here’s what you can expect.

25 handicap
For a handicap 25, straight road forests are often used to prove to progress the ball on a long road, especially from the rough or road to Par-4 long and par-5. However, the stable gap in the distance is a well -known issue at this level.
Many players hit their 3-dru and 5-wood within some yards of each other.
Club | P-AVG distance (yds) |
---|---|
3W | 179 |
5 | 167 |
7 | 163 |
20 handicap
Golfists in this rank are usually becoming more stable with the quality of the strike. You will begin to see the best division between 3W, 5W and 7W. However, distance overlaps can occur, especially if the ball flight is too low or the release of dragging issues.
Club | P-AVG distance (yds) |
---|---|
3W | 196 |
5 | 179 |
7 | 171 |
15 handicap
Handicap middle golfists tend to use straight street forests with more control and see that visible yard gaps appear. 3-Duri becomes a reliable tee option while 5- and 7-Duri often replace long handcuffs in greens or narrow roads.
Club | P-AVG distance (yds) |
---|---|
3W | 212 |
5 | 190 |
7 | 179 |
10 handicap
At this level, players tend to make cleaner contacts and produce higher ball speeds. 3-Duri is often used from tee to par-4 narrow or as an approach to long par-5. 5-Duri and 7-Duri are used as real access clubs. You will see at least 10 jars of the gap between each of these road forests at this level.
Club | P-AVG distance (yds) |
---|---|
3W | 225 |
5 | 203 |
7 | 190 |
5 handicap
Lower handicap players usually handle their straight forests, choosing specific models to match their trajectory and rotation preferences. You will see stable gaps from 10 to 15 yards. Most also have a slightly more shaking speed, so there is small increase in distance from the player with 10 handicaps.
Club | P-AVG distance (yds) |
---|---|
3W | 239 |
5 | 215 |
7 | 200 |
Golf
Scratched golfists Show the narrowest distributions and the clearest gap between the clubs. The average performance and the current average are usually very close, as the strikeness of the strike is much higher for the scratch player.
Club | P-AVG distance (yds) |
---|---|
3W | 256 |
5 | 232 |
7 | 218 |
What about 9-Dru?
Stretch There are more limited data in 9-Dru due to fewer players holding it, especially among the lower handicaps. However, players like Adam Scott and Collin Morikawa have occasionally inserted a 9 wood in the bag, so this may change in the coming seasons.
Permanent | P-AVG distance (yds) |
---|---|
20 | 152 |
15 | 160 |
What to keep in mind with the distances of the road wood
Some things to remember when analyzing this chart and data distance data.
- Loft and length vary in all brands. A 3-army from one company can go farther than a 3-wood from another due to different patterns of the head and axis.
- Your strike quality matters more. These are just average. If your 5-mard carries the same as your 7-arms, it’s time for an appropriate session or a string.
Final thoughts
Use this table as an initial base, not a rule to exactly how far you should hit your right forests. If you are constantly short with your 3-drunt or you can’t keep your 5-drunt in the air, it’s worth looking at a fit or at least use a release monitor to collect your data. The most important thing you can get from a road tree is durability.
