23rd in clubhead speed in 2013 at 118 MPH
1st in clubhead speed in 2007 at 123 MPH.
27th in '13 ball speed at 175 MPH
1st in '07 ball speed at 180 MPH
Bubba Watson was second both years. He gained almost 3 MPH of ball speed while Tiger lost 5.
So, '07 Tiger is 12 yards closer (a full club) while also being a club and a half longer.
That means if '07 Tiger is faced with that 170, he's hitting a full 9-iron/soft 8, while '13 Tiger is hitting a full seven/soft six.
That shit makes a difference.
