    Which clubs are you hitting? lofts etc... I have a few sets of clubs and there is a 40-50 yard variance in "7 irons" between the sets.
    I have a set of Rogue X irons and I hit a 7 iron 185. I have an old set of Ben Hogan forged clubs that i hit the 7 iron 140.

    Looking at your numbers you posted earlier they looked about right.
    45 m/s is about 100mph ball speed, which you've seemed to get up to 50m/s now - or about 111mph ball speed.
    That extra 11mph is worth about the 20yards increase you are seeing

      A variety of "7 iron's" and I would tend to agree with you. 31 degrees down to 26.5 degrees (demoing some clubs against my 716 AP1's.)

        Yup - my Rogue X 7 iron is 27 degrees (!) which is almost the same as my 5 iron in my current set ( the 7 iron in the current set is actually 34 degrees)

      Indoor swing is DEFINITELY a thing!

      My sim is not quite finished yet, but I have got the screen, floor and hitting mats down, so have been hitting some shots with 6,7,8 irons.
      Getting huge variances in ball speed, but I know it's not the unit, it's me.

      It's harder to swing totally relaxed indoors even when you tell yourself to. But, you can easily feel when you've just swung freely vs being a little bit 'guiding'. It's not just space around you, it also seems a little easier to lock onto the ball instead of just sweeping through it.

      Anyway, when I can feel that I swung freely and made a good connection, I see the same distances I see outdoors.

        Yes, it was me. I watched a video, realized I wasn't getting any hip rotation, and started working on that. By the end of the session, good, flush hits were carrying 185-190 yards.
