While the average male golfer has a fairly impressive clubhead speed at around 92 mph, their average distance is pretty poor – only around 220 yards per drive. And remember, these are only the ones who actually report their drives!
According to Trackman, most golfers have the potential for gaining 40 more yards without a single bit of extra clubhead speed.
Half of the missing yardage is due to a sub optimal angle of attack. The average golfer hits down on the ball about 1.6 degrees, while the optimal angle is upwards 5 degrees (or more)! This results in a net loss of about 20 yards.
I made a video explaining how you can change your angle of attack and start getting some of those missing yards back!
