Using Dave Tutelman's program "TrajectoWare Drive 1.0" came up with the following values:

Club Head speed = 95 mph
Angle of Atcck = 0
Dynamic Loft = 10.5

60 deg F = 209.6 yards carry
70 deg F = 210.1 yards carry
80 deg F = 210.6 yards carry
90 deg F = 211 yards carry

I would believe DaveTutleman way before Thomas. If you want to look further in the Engineering of golf equipment I would suggest that you go to the site:
