    I have another month before I start fasting. Set something up and I'll be there. Doesn't have to be anything big or fancy. Not playing as good as I was that day but will give you a run for your money. This time around I'll cross both those annoying creeks on the front 9.

      With only that as your driver S/S, you couldn't generate enough power to hit anywhere near 200 with a 7 iron. With my shortened swing and solid contact, I will max out at around 185 with a 7 iron (rarely take full swings anymore) and my S/S is down to around 112 mph now from low 120's last year.

      Your lofts have to be strong, as a 6 iron is my 195 club and I can flush it to 200.

      Again, varying conditions can add to distance ie. wind, heat w/o humidity, elevation and those days where the ball just seems to 'jump' a little more then usual.

          That might be true, I really don't know my stats as I've never been fitted or analyzed, I only saw SS from the sims at GT which we all know are whacked, but I'm pretty sure my yardages are on target while on the course. My PW I think has a 49*, that leaves me a 60/56/52/49 separations on my wedges, I'm assuming Bang has the standard lofts on their irons.

            My point exactly a stock 200 yard 7 iron carry means you hit the ball sick hard and your swing speed would have to be much much higher to achieve those numbers.

                Still doesn't make sense. Again, I don't know your swing or have seen you golf (not trying to start anything), but the number don't add up is all. Yes we all know the stats you get in the GT sims are whacked given all the different set ups chain wide, and I've had issues with staff telling me there dead accurate when I know my numbers.

                Unless your S/S is much higher then your 'guess', your almost 2 clubs longer then me, and I'm not short. But again, I'm rarely taking full swings any more, so am actually a bad comparison. Hell, I could be spinning the ball to much for all I know and that's why I like punch-3/4 shots more for control.

                          I can get the driver up to 120 and dude is still 2 clubs longer than me...we are in the presence of greatness.

                              Easy there, I dont know what's up with the hostility over my yardages, Momo has played with me, a bunch of guys played with me and I'm pretty sure they know how much I can get out of my 7 iron

                              Here's what I don't get, why compare your 7 iron against my 7 iron? Do you actually think I care if you have a SS of 120 and yet I have 2 clubs on you? Why is "the 2 clubs up on me?" was even brought up here? I've said several times, believe me or not I don't really care. At the end of the day I know which club I'm getting if I'm facing a 190-200 yard shot. I'm not forcing anyone to believe my yardages, if you find that hard to believe then I respect that. I hope you do the same and stop with BS accusations, I've never done it on anyone on the forum and I'm pretty I respected everyone's opinion, calling BS without even playing with me is kinda quick.

                                This whole thread has gone out of hand, if people just know how to respect each others' post it'll be more fun in here.
