They suck.
I went to one of the 'better' ranges yesterday to try out the new irons and one of the first things I did was to shoot the yardage markers.
I have a Bushnell pinseeker, laser range finder...this thing is deadly accurate but that's another story.
ALL of the yardage markers were 15 to 20 yards off, that's a lot when you want to figure your yardage for a particular club.
The balls at this range are all the same, top flite range balls. Whether they are limited distance I can's say for sure but I believe they are.
These factors make it impossible to gauge your irons. The best that can be seen is whether or not you are hitting straight.
The two ranges closet to me have no pro shop......zilch.
It seems to me that if you run a range you want to sell some gear....one range about 30 minutes from here has a full loaded shop plus some simulator bays......this seems like a no brainer to me, throw in a bar and your a rich man!
My new clubs are seriously delofted and I have no way of knowing if my 8 iron is gonna do 150 or not. I have a tourney tomorrow and I guess it's trial by fire.
