    The worst is when people confuse percent and percentage points.

    Eighty percent of people don't understand percentages, and the other half don't care. ;-)

    I have found that with most clubs hitting at 62% will produce at shot going at 50% of the max distance. I also tested a full set of G25 irons with standard balls and found that for each 1% reduction of hitting power (on meter), the shot would go 1.33% shorter. For example, a G25 pitching wedge has a max distance (on flat, no wind) of 115 yards and with rounding to nearest yard will hit as follows:

    100%   115 yards

    99%     113 yards

    98%     112 yards

    97%     110 yards

    90%     100 yards

    80%.      84 yards

    70%       69 yards

    etc.

    i have also found that using balls with distance modifiers where each number of the modifier is treated as +1% is very accurate, so....

    With Callaway Truvis balls with a +4 modifier, your 100% swing will be calculated by taking the 115 yards above and multiplying by 104% or 1.04 to get a max distance of 120 yards. This new chart would now be:

    100%   120 Yards

    99%     118 yards

    98%     116 yards

    97%     115 yards

    90%     104 yards

    80%      88 yards

    70%      72 yards

    62%      59 yards

    60%      56 yards

    Pretty simple to set up in a spreadsheet and adjust for different clubs. For every 3% drop in metered power your shot will travel 4% less. Thus multipliers would be .9866 at 99%, .9733 at 98%, .96 at 97%, etc.
