Golf Simulator Distance Gap & Yardage Calibration Tool

Calculate and calibrate yardage gaps between clubs on your simulator based on swing data, elevation, and conditions to eliminate distance confusion.

Eliminates distance confusion.

‍

We ask for simulator brand, driver carry, elevation, temperature, club set, current gap issue, and wind because these affect yardages. These inputs calibrate gaps. Limitation: the tool uses general environmental adjustments and may not reflect exact simulator algorithms; always verify on-course.

Golf Simulator Yardage Gaps

Ideal Yardage Gaps for Each Club

For a standard set of 4-PW, here are the recommended ideal yardage gaps based on your specifications1. 4 Iron: 210-220 yards 2. 5 Iron: 200-210 yards 3. 6 Iron: 190-200 yards 4. 7 Iron: 180-190 yards 5. 8 Iron: 170-180 yards 6. 9 Iron: 160-170 yards 7. Pitching Wedge (PW): 150-160 yards

Recommended Adjustments

To optimize your performance and achieve the desired yardage gaps, consider the following adjustments:

• Loft Adjustments:
  • If gaps are too large (10+ yards), consider adding loft to your higher-numbered clubs (7, 8, 9, PW) to help reduce the distance.
• Shaft Flex:
  • Evaluate your swing speed and consider switching to a softer flex shaft if you are struggling to achieve the distances. A regular flex may help you achieve better consistency.
• Swing Technique:
  • Focus on maintaining a consistent swing tempo. Too much acceleration can lead to increased distance, making gaps larger.

Environmental Effects

1. Altitude:
   • At 1000-2000 ft elevation, the air is less dense, causing the ball to travel further. Adjust your yardage expectations upward by approximately 5-10% depending on your altitude.
2. Wind Conditions:
   • Light winds (5-10 mph) can have a minimal impact, but it's essential to factor in that headwinds will reduce distance while tailwinds can increase it.
3. Temperature:
   • Warmer temperatures can lead to increased distance due to reduced air density. Conversely, colder temperatures may decrease yardage.
4. Humidity:
   • Higher humidity can slightly increase yardage, while lower humidity can have the opposite effect.
