Composite Golf Club Spacing Needs Know

The distance to hit golf clubs is the basic thing that every golfer needs to grasp when starting golf. This will help players choose the right type of golf club to optimize for their shots.

1. Standard golf clubs' hitting distances

Each type of golf club is designed separately, for each hit, so there will be different distances. The following is a compilation of Super Golf magazine about the distance of each stroke, which you can refer to:

1.1. Distance between Driver and Wooden Stick

The Driver's bat is also called the No. 1 wooden bat, which is used for the first shot on each golf hole. Wooden sticks are generally used for long shots and help achieve maximum distance. Specifically:  

Stick type Beat Distance (Men) Beat Distance (Women)
Driver's stick (wooden stick No. 1) 200 – 230 – 260 yard 150 – 175 – 200 yard
Wooden stick number three. 180 – 215 – 235 yard 125 – 150 – 180 yard
Wooden stick number five. 170 – 195 – 210 yard 105 – 135 – 170 yard

Usually, male golfers have an average Handicap, when hitting the Driver's bat, it will reach 220 yards and professional players 285 yards.

1.2. Spacing of the iron rod

The iron bat is a set of various numbered batons and is designed differently for multiple hits. The higher the number on the bat, the smaller the distance to hit the bat.  

Usually, if the number of bats increases by 1 unit, the batting distance will be reduced by about 10 yards. For women, the gap is reduced by about 20%. Specifically:  

Stick type Beat Distance (Men) Beat Distance (Women)
The 2nd iron 170 – 195 – 210 yard 105 – 135 – 170 yard
The 3rd iron 160 – 180 – 200 yard 100 – 125 – 160 yard
The 4th iron 150 – 170 – 185 yard 90 – 120 – 150 yard
Five iron bars 140 – 160 – 170 yard 80 – 110 – 140 yard
The 6th iron 130 – 150 – 160 yard 70 – 100 – 130 yard
The 7th iron 120 – 140 – 150 yard 65 – 90 – 120 yard
The 8th iron rod 110 – 130 – 140 yard 60 – 80 – 110 yard
The 9th iron 95 – 115 – 130 yard 55 – 70 – 95 yard

1.3. Rescue stroke distance

The Rescue stick is quite special, which is a combination of iron and wooden sticks. This type of bat can also replace some iron bars, particularly the Rescue 4,5,6 bat, which can replace the 4,5,6 iron bars.  

The Rescue stick is designed with Shaft's length and Loft similar to the iron stick but looks like a wooden stick. In terms of striking distance, like the iron rod, the Rescue bat number regulation increases by 1 unit, the distance will be reduced by 10 yards.  

Stick type Beat Distance 
Rescue stick number two 185 yard
Rescue stick number three 175 yard
Rescue stick number four 165 yard
Rescue stick number five 155 yard

1.4. Wedge stroke distance

Wedge sticks are used to make technical hits and are not usually used for long-distance hits. Wedge sticks consist of sticks designed with different Loft degrees to fit each stroke.   There will be differences between the types of clubs and between men's and women's golf clubs. Specifically:  

Stick type Beat Distance (Men) Beat Distance (Women)
Pitching Wedge 80 – 105 – 120 yard 50 – 60 – 80 yard
Sand Wedge 60 – 80 – 100 yard 40 – 50 – 60 yard
Lob Wedge 50 – 60 yard 50 – 60 yard

2. What factors reduce the distance to hit golf clubs?

In addition to the main factor being the type of club used, the distance of golf clubs is also affected by other factors such as weather, topographical conditions on the field, technique, and fitness of each golfer:

  • Wind direction: This is what directly affects when the ball flies and changes the distance the ball lands on the field. Most current types of golf balls are designed to limit the impact of direction and wind resistance. However, too much wind can also deflect the ball.
  • Terrain on the field: With the terrain downhill, the ball will fly further. As for the terrain going uphill, the ball will fly a shorter distance. In addition, different types of terrain of the field also affect how far the ball rolls.
  • Golf technique: Each player will have a different technique. And professional golfers with good technique always have a longer hitting distance than semi-professional or novice golfers. However, you should also not compare to professional golfer. Instead, practice and choose the appropriate bat to optimize your hitting distance.
  • Fitness: Men tend to achieve a longer range of golf clubs than women. In addition, players have poor physical strength, and older players also have shorter hitting distances.

  Based on these factors, the golfer needs to have symmetry to make the hit so that the ball line is accurate and to achieve his goal.

3. How does Golfer improve the long distance?

If you really love Golf and are looking for ways to improve your qualifications and increase your golf clubs' distance, here are some suggestions to help you achieve the best performance:

3.1. Use a suitable golf club set

Choosing the right bat set is the decisive factor to the batting distance and accuracy in your hits. Here are some reasons why choosing the right bat can help you hit further:

  • The length of the bat: A bat with the right length will help the golfer maintain a proper standing mindset and a natural swing. If the bat is too long or too short, the golfer may have to adjust his body position, causing inaccuracies and reduced strength.
  • Shaft hardness: A shaft with the right hardness will help maximize the curvature and speed of the bat head during the swing process, creating more momentum.
  • Lie and Loft: The tilt (lie) and lift (Loft) of the head of the bat need to match the style and swing speed of the golfer. This helps optimize the contact point and flight direction of the ball.
  • Stick weight: The weight and balance of the bat can affect the swing process. A bat with the right weight helps the golfer maintain stability and make a powerful hit.
  • Grip: The size and style of the grip are also important. A suitable grip helps Golfer feel comfortable and has better control over the bat.
  • Stick-head design: Stick-like drivers are designed with technologies that maximize distance, such as larger stick-head or trampoline face area.

To find the most appropriate set of golf clubs, Golfer should visit professional golf club shops to get counseling and live bat tests. This process helps to determine the type and specifications that match the golfer, thereby optimizing performance and hitting distance.

3.2. Practice regularly

Regular practice is the key to strengthening the golf club gap. To optimize distance, you need to focus on both strength and technique. Here are some basic exercises and principles that strengthen the gap:  

Strength and flexibility exercise

  • Back and shoulder muscle exercises: The strength of the back and shoulders increases the width of the backwing and creates a lot of momentum when swinging.
  • Abdominal muscle exercise: Abdominal muscles help control and stabilize the body, creating uniform rotation in the swing.
  • Leg muscle exercise: The strength from the legs and hips increases motivation and improves balance.
  • Stretching and Yoga: Improves flexibility, helps you have deeper backwing and stronger follow-through.

  Swing practice

  • Backwing: Make sure that you raise the bat high enough and extend your arm when doing the backwing.
  • Body Rotation: When making a hit, focus on turning your hips and shoulders vigorously to increase motivation.
  • Point of contact: Make sure you contact the center of the ball and use the center part of the bat face.

In addition, practicing with an experienced coach can help you adjust the technique and point out the defects to be corrected. You can also use devices such as swing analyser, ball speed radar, golf distance meter to better understand the hit and find ways to optimize strength and distance.  

Although hitting power is an important factor, control and accuracy are also very important in Golf. Distance training should not affect your ability to control your hit. The goal is to find a balance between hitting power and ball control, so you can hit the ball further and still maintain accuracy.

3.3. Use a power-assisted PRGR Golf Club to optimize batting distance

PRGR is a leading Japanese golf club brand, which is already too familiar with the domestic golf club community. The brand is famous for its high-quality golf clubs for every golfer from initiation to semi-professional and professional. One of PRGR's remarkable bat lines is the power bat, which is specially designed to help players optimize batting distance.  

PRGR's support stick line is usually designed with light stick body, optimized stick head according to advanced technology. These improvements help the golfer achieve faster head-to-head speed, create better contact points, and increase the batting distance.  

The use of force sticks such as PRGR can help players increase the hitting distance, especially those who do not have fast swing speed or average or below physical strength or even female golfers.

Some optimized bat lines of distance are appreciated by experts such as:  

  • RS Driver: The rod surface focuses on 4 sophisticated points optimizing the large initial velocity. The bat is equipped with Bacosy control system and the flexible Loft helps control the ball's flight path.
  • Super Egg Driver: Low swirl with high ball flying path, strong gives an interesting feeling when hitting.
  • LS Driver: High fly ball, low spin, steady spin speed, gentle sound on impact
  • RS5 Driver: The longest hitting pattern is indispensable for Golfers. The bat is designed with the lowest Loft angle providing a longer and straighter tee shot. The design focuses on Sweet Point, so when hitting the centerpiece, the golfer will experience the fastest balloon feeling ever.

The bat set is the most important factor determining each player's distance to hit golf clubs. Based on the above information, Golfer will choose the right club set. Don't forget to test the bat before buying and practice regularly to improve your batting skills.
