  LOL. Linear means 90% of a given number =90% of that number. 100 x 90%=90. A 100 yard wedge hit at 90% here is not even coming close to 90 yards. Hawkin depends on empirical numbers to be the brilliant mind he is.  ;-)

  Jim, gotcha. But when I hit my 100 yard wedge at 90%, it goes 90 yards, plus or minus 1, dang near every time.

  Better to be lucky than smart, I guess.

  Entirely disagree.  Clv 100 wedge with callie (300cr ball) will carry and stop at 90. no spin.  First avatar movement is around 92 and at first avitar movement my ball goes 92.  I'd call that linear.  Id say its (with that club) linear down to like 88....then it falls off.  This is of course on "typical" holes (ones that don't play long or short due to programming) Ive got all the other distances mapped via avatar movements after that.  With my other clubs...first avatar is which is at 92% as well, equates to approx. 10% less power with about 1/3bs.  

   

  Key for OP is to map clubs based on either avatar movements or percentages with varying degrees of spin and note the outcomes......got to learn your kit brother.

  He didn't say that, I did. And I stick by it. It's closer to being inversely proportional than it is linear. The more the choke the bigger the distance loss and it's not consistent. Linear doesn't act that way.

  I think this perceived linear facet is confusing because 90% to you and 90% to me mean different things simply because of the ball difference. The important thing is knowing what your 90% is anyway, regardless of linear or not.  :-)

  8 iron

  The 8 irons are notorious for seldom doing what you think they'll do, or what they should do. I do everything I can to avoid ANY 8 iron shot. Some kind of glitch. I had those same irons and was spooked any time I had to use the 8 iron. Most inconsistent iron in all top sets (not sure about below 90 level).

  But, it pales in comparison to the erratic, take-a-guess, hope-and-pray-when-you-hit-it Big Bertha 3wd. The circle of precision for the BB covers any area in the mini-map, boundary to boundary, even on dings, and especially on Par 3 tee shots.
