Steve, handicap is going to come in a 23-25, In the summer Im definately hoping for a 300yd drive thats for sure.

Driving like a fool again last few days, I have no idea why as for a while I was ripping it long and straight with incredible ease.

jon,your h/c will soon drop if you are driving those distances, i know its drive for show putt for dough but if you can rip it 250 plus down the middle it makes things alot easier.

I had one or two 40 yarders playing in Saudi Arabia. Once when we'd convinced a Korean group to let us through. Another time in the monthly medal playing with some good players. Topped it and didn't reach the fairway. So far in Spain I've had a few left pulls off the first but nothing embarrassing.

What are we looking at here? carry or carry+roll ?

At this time of year I'm only getting around 230-240 as the ball is still stopping very quickly on a still soft golf course.

About 250-260 at the moment but would happily sacrifice 30 yards in favour of more consistency - thm 30 yards aren't a lot of use to me if they are over the OOB markers

About 230 - 250 at the moment, but in the past have gone over 300 (Summer time) but sadly at the moment not all of my drives end up in the same post code ( thanks to Mrs Slice )

With my current (for sale) Wilson spine - I get 210 from the heel and 250 no problem from the middle. Biggest from I have had it is 282 (4 weeks ago) - all measured with the S3 trolly.
