Is there somewhere in the NOLA area I can go to essentially use a launch monitor to learn distances of my clubs and swing speed. I know these things are used for club fittings but I really wanna dial in what i have currently. Doing this at a range can be difficult. I guess worst case I could drive out to BR and do this at top golf.

Try Loft18 in Metairie. Might be expensive if you do it solo. Don’t go to TopGolf for that, those balls won’t give you accurate distances.

Just go to club champion or Buddha. Or is there a Golftec down there? Or find a friend who has a launch monitor.

That absolutely would be the worst thing you could do. Following ell's advice would be the best.

called all those places and they don't offer use of their hitting bays unless you pay for a lesson or club fitting.

Loft 18 seems to be my only option but im not sure how accurate it will be.

If you want options like this you’ll need to pay. Nothing worth of shitt is free. If you want to waste your time and get inaccurate info then go to top golf.

I'd suggest telling MingotheBlowhard, your current body fat%, model of clubs, and middle name of your wife (given, not maiden) and I'm pretty sure that know-it-all, spectrum dwelling moron will give you his 99% accurate opinion.

He's all but infallible.

Call Loft18 and Find out what type of launch monitor they have, I’d bet it’s pretty accurate.

I think for what you're looking for your best bet and easiest option might the ShotVision app if you have an iPhone

Club head speed, spin rate are part of the free version and the pay version will give you carry and distance (I think it's like $7/month or $42/year).

ETA: that being said, it's definitely not as accurate as say a Garmin Approach. You'd almost have to discard the extremes and just take more of the averages to give you an idea but for $8 it will probably give you an idea of what you're looking for at the moment.

I was curious and it looks like Loft18 uses fullswinggolf.com simulators.
Seems like they would be accurate.
