LOL! I can get to 150m. But I've since kept the 5i and replaced it with a 5H. | |

Bro... dun be demoralized... even our Seasoned "beginner" is hitting it only 2m... I recall you should be able to do much better than that... Or you could just swap a 5i with a hybrid.... Hit far far.... no use one...kenna OB and lose $$$... trust me

| My distances,
off the tee 158m carry, 163m total.
off the fairway 155m carry, 158-159m total.
off the rough 150-152 carry(depends on lie).
based assumption on average distance and off a reasonable swing. | |

Eiji, how come it's so precise? cause i dial in my distances...i always take my average/good shots with irons and notice how far the land on the green or off the green. over time average them out and use it for my own reference, so that i can better select my clubs. helps in course management. i write them on my scorecards when i can find the time, go home and compile a small note book. the carry and total may not be extremely accurate, but base on where i see the ball land and how much roll i get. of course sometimes must factor in the lay of the green, upslope or downslope on the green. | |

Erm.... you lifting his morale or thrashing it??? 
He should be happy if his 5i is regularly 150m, better than my irregular 50m to 170m... right?
Which is more frustrating? I think he is most frustrated when he sees me hit an 8i after he hits his 5i.... .,,,, ,,,, ,,, damn.... I must be dreaming as I type  ... must wake up to reality now (slap myself on face) | |
