Find the gaps in your golf bag
Enter how far your clubs actually carry. See the spacing, spot similar distances, and take a yardage chart to your next practice session.
Your carry distances
Use typical carry, before bounce and roll. Leave unknown distances blank.

How to use the bag gap analyzer
- Record representative carry distances for the clubs you want to compare, using several shots under similar conditions. Keep carry separate from total distance including roll.
- Enter each club and its carry. You can start with the club names from an iron set; its distances stay blank until you enter them.
- Adjust the tight and wide gap markers to suit the part of the bag you are checking. Download or print the sorted chart to record what needs another look.
What the gap markers mean
The analyzer sorts valid distances from longest to shortest and subtracts adjacent values. A tight gap is below your lower marker; a wide gap is above your upper marker. Distances equal to a marker are within the selected range. The starting 5- and 20-yard markers are editable display settings, not universal fitting targets. Woods, irons and partial wedge shots may need different spacing.
Chart values round to one decimal place; markers use unrounded differences. A zero displayed gap means the entered averages are equal at that precision. Similar averages are a reason to compare repeatability and shot shape, not proof that a club is redundant. Shot dispersion is not measured here, so this chart cannot establish whether your actual shot patterns overlap or whether every yardage is covered.
Can this tell me which club to buy?
A wide gap identifies two numbers to investigate. Recheck those clubs under comparable conditions before changing equipment. Loft, head design, shaft, delivery and strike all matter; this tool does not infer a replacement loft or predict a new club's distance. Use the club database for model details and the loft gap checker for a separate comparison of static angles.
Where do the distances come from?
Every carry value comes from your entries. The optional example is fictional and clearly labelled. Trackman's explanation of Map My Bag describes recording carry, total distance, dispersion and gapping from practice shots. That is useful context for gathering your numbers; this calculator is independent of Trackman and does not connect to its services. Source reviewed October 4, 2026.
For secondhand equipment, the used iron checklist helps you inspect the actual build, and the wedge guide explains the difference between a loft label and a shot you play.
