How to use it
Pick two clubs and a unit in the top row, for example Driver and 7-iron. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds shots of the first carry, one holds shots of the second, one holds total yards or meters. Try 1 Driver against Pitching Wedges.
Gap, sand and lob wedges have no tour-wide TrackMan carry, so they sit out as unknown. Club and ball speeds sit in source tables off page. Meters follow from yards at 1.09361 per meter. Club and ball speeds sit in source tables while rows pin carry only for clean math. Total distance adds rollout past carry off page here. All set.
