QUESTION:
I am searching for way to add distance to my golf game. I am currently having trouble reaching par 5’s in 2 and make GIR with long par 4’s. Here is a break down of my distances for every club in yard. note: this is not ball carry; it’s from where i hit to where the ball stops.
Driver: 240
3 wood: 210
4 hybrid iron: 180
5 iron: 170
6 iron: 160
7 iron: 150
8 iron: 140
9 iron: 130
Pitching wadge: 120
Approaching wadge: 100
Sand wadge: 70
Although these numbers are average, they should represent well my current game. I’d like to add more info about myself: I am male, 24, 5’10, 180lbs. People always told me I should have the potential to reach most par 5 in 2. But so far, despite hitting the ball solidly, i have yet to reach a 500 yard plus hole in two.

Answer by Big Buddy
distance is all about club head speed and swing speed – you sound like you are in good shape – I would recommend really trying to connect you hands and shoulders with your body on the back swing – the longer you make you swing arc, the more power you will generate – a solid 1 piece take away, slow and low and really try and feel like your whole body is in sync when you swing through the ball – pitchers throw the ball with their legs – have you ever watched Ernie Els swing a club? He swings so easy but he really creates some lag and explodes through the ball with his entire body –
