Confidence Carry
Derived ydThe distance you can carry at least 90% of the time. Your most reliable planning number.
Why it matters
When you must clear a hazard (water, bunker, forced carry), confidence carry is the only number that matters — not your average. Planning around this number eliminates the most costly miss in golf: coming up short on a carry.
How to improve
Improve strike consistency to tighten your carry distribution — the gap between confidence carry and average shrinks as center-face contact becomes more reliable.
