    Is there a chart i can go to that will tell me how far I should hit each club based on swing speed?

    No, or at least not one I would trust. Different players with the same speed can vary greatly. Spin rate, launch angle, swing efficiency, golf ball type, and iron lofts are all factors. A session or two at a fairly well laid out range combined with a bit of play will give you personal distances and help make club selection a lot easier. Laser rangefinders make it so much simpler than when I first had to do it. That was with a notebook and pacing the yardage. Putting in that work really made a difference in lowering my handicap though.

    I agree 100% with Ken W. An individual yardage is unique to each. It's important to know your own yardage and stick/play your own yardage. It is sometimes frustrating for me when my opponent hits a stock 9i to 150, and I'm pulling a 7i.

    I still use the notebook with yardage and club. It is in the bag next to my glove. Sometimes If I get a brain fart out it comes , and blammo the proper club is selected. It took me a few weeks to achieve this info using averages on each club that was hit.

    Here is one I found on GolfWRX that will give you some rough guidelines. It is similar to otherss that I have seen elsewhere.  For my swing speed (107)  I find that yardages match up with about 9 of the clubs on the chart.  So there are variances.

    A lot of factors can determine distance, but this might provide the info you are seeking.

    I found a similar chart and it is pretty close for me across the board. It is quite similar to the one posted by greg p.

    The Bold numbers across the top are swing speed.

    5 guys with the same swing speed will have different lengths, even swinging identical clubs. It comes down to shaft lean, which dictates the ACTUAL loft at impact. I play with a guy that obviously swings slower than I do, and he's a club longer than me. Identical AP2's......

    There is a chart I saw at one of the Titleist dealers next to the clubs that correlates swing speed with distance in general terms. Where can it be found?
