How does your distance actually compare?
Tell us your club, your typical carry distance, your age, and your handicap. We’ll show you exactly where you rank against other golfers like you — and against the PGA Tour. Be ready to be surprised.
What is the Distance Benchmark Tool?
Most golfers have no idea where their distance actually ranks. They watch YouTube videos of guys bombing 300-yard drives and assume their 215-yard tee shot is short. They hear a buddy claim a 170-yard 7-iron and think they should be hitting theirs further. Almost all of this is based on bad information.
This tool gives you the honest answer. Enter your club, your typical carry distance, your age, and your handicap. We compare your number against actual amateur survey data from Arccos, Shot Scope, and the USGA — not the inflated numbers you hear at the bar.
The result is a specific percentile ranking (“you hit your 7-iron further than 65% of male mid-handicappers aged 36-50”), a visual chart showing where you sit against tour pros and other amateurs at your level, and an honest analysis of whether distance is actually the thing holding you back.
For most golfers, the answer is no — distance isn’t the problem, consistency is. For some golfers, gaining 10-15 yards genuinely would shave strokes off their handicap, and the tool will tell you honestly if that’s you. Either way, it tells you what to actually do about it — and which practice aids genuinely help your specific situation.
