How to Use the Calculator
- Enter your swing speed in miles per hour (mph) in the first input field.
- Select the type of golf club you are using from the dropdown menu.
- Click the "Calculate" button to estimate the distance your golf ball will travel.
- The estimated distance in yards will be displayed in the results area.
Understanding the Formula
The calculator uses a simplified formula to estimate golf ball distance based on swing speed:
Distance (yd) = a * Swing Speed^b
Where:
- a and b are constants specific to each club type, representing the relationship between swing speed and distance.
- Swing Speed is the speed of your swing in miles per hour (mph).
- Distance is the estimated distance the golf ball will travel in yards.
Important Notes
This calculator provides an estimation based on general performance metrics. Actual distance may vary based on:
- Player skill and technique
- Club condition and specifications
- Weather conditions (wind, temperature, etc.)
- Course conditions
