It varies depending on the range ball, typically you gain more distance with the mid-irons (or rather lose much less distance) and gain a few more yards with the Driver, sometimes the distance gains are quite considerable showing up how much lose of distance with some very high profile range balls. Feel and spin is also important as is flight trajectory.

The Academy Tour Distance is up there with top retail ball flight throughout the bag and our latest product addition. We regularly test all competitors products at our factory and have several U.K. independent flight test results from range operators comparing The Academy Balls, our i90 and i80 range balls against various alternatives. If in doubt please apply for the data - Whilst we know the facts as measured at our factory, we only offer independent data if requested so there can be no claim of factory bias.

As with The Academy Ball and Academy Distance it depends on what you compare, please refer to notes on test data in answer Question 1.

The i90 holds a good distance up to 200 yards, actually flying further than many quality 2pc range balls through mid-irons however, crucially, it loses distance with the driver, up to 30-yards through the air. This specification is therefore ideal for those with fencing concerns, pegging back big hitters whilst allowing meaningful practice with mid-irons flying their correct distance. This is far preferable to reduced distance balls that result in even a short iron losing considerable distance, that is not what suits good practice, lower handicaps in particular will appreciate this ball for iron play.

It's exactly the same ball at manufacture as the i90 with reduced compression, just deduct 10 yards flight through the air with a driver and 5-7 yards with mid- irons, it's ideal for those with short field space yet still offers good feel and flight characteristics. This would be considered a reduced flight ball.
