Can any of the season vets advise what each club is increased or decreased by in yardage per movement up or down. Figure no wind....just raw distance. I thought I read somewhere 7 yards but I think that's more than what it is.

I don't know all of them, but it varies depending on the club...like the PW is 120, lofted up one bar is 102...so that's 18 yards..the SW is 75...go up one bar and it's 64...that would be 11 yards...I only loft up one bar on a couple clubs...SW, PW, 3I. This probably doesn't really help..sorry. I just played with the clubs and taught myself...the more you do it, the more you'll just memorize it...good luck.

So when you refer to "one full bar" you are going up all the way to the next red line (or down)? No wonder I was off...I was thinking each little click between red bars was in the 7 yard area. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. I little click can be a little or a lot, depends on the club, how little or how much the click is and who and with what is doing the clicking. No better way then just to get in there and do it yourself. Takes about as much time as 3 round of golf and helps you play the next 300 rounds. Have fun. |

I usually play with my calculator open on my phone. I'll pick my club and then multiply the club length by the percentage on the loft meter and that should give you the distance (no wind or elevation).
So say you have a shot that's 113 yards. Take 120*.92=110.4. That's how I calculate club distances.

why not just take the distance needed and divide by club carry to get the loft needed so 113/120=0.941 so the PW lofted to 94% would give you 113 yards of carry this way you could use same distance with 2 clubs up 8I 113/145=0.779 or 78% loft but of course you would get more run out of the higher club

The carry is one thing -- getting you in the right neighbourhood. But it's understanding the rollout distances that take you to the right address! That said, I tried the calculator method at the very beginning, but that took a lot of the fun out of the game for me... made it into math class, not a bit of fun on the console.
Just my take. I'm sure there are many who enjoy and use the calculator method.

I'm a big fan of calculator method. Have it on me on every stroke unless it's a putt or flop but that's just fun for me  . But the thing that helped me the most is if there is little to no headwind or just cross/tailwids to use the 3I for anything 160 yards - 220 yds (assuming you have enough run when it is 210+) and just loft, loft, loft! This helps control roll out in this game and stick it close to pin assuming you hit it straight. Anything under that and 7I and lower have little rollout unless there is a high tailwind so I just use them straight up or deloft in the normal way via %. The loft meter has the percentages listed on each tier so you can just figure out how far in between to hit your % approximately. Also if you land in sand or rough just divide the distance by the lie percentage taking a few points off the max since it's difficult to hit it perfectly straight to get your adjusted distance |
