How Far Do You Drive The Ball?

[Slab]

What a novel idea for a thread...

180-190 average, but I have to say this is with conforming clothing & headgear!

Nailed I'll get about 210

 

[garyinderry]

I can get it way out there.
























Way out over there. Yeah past that tree. Past those bushes, over that fence. Better just reload.

 

[Ethan]

I can hit the ball out of sight.

But that is more to do with deteriorating eyesight.

 

[richart]

I hit my driver about the same distance as Drive4show's 3 wood, and six feet behind Liverpoolphil's 'right out of the screws, best drive of the day'

I can get it just past Smiffy, so long enough.:thup:

 

[North Mimms]

310 yards, all carry

Better than Bubba then?

230 to 260 with roll, never thought of measuring from tee to touchdown.

 

[Papas1982]

according to mobitee my average over this summer. 200+ drives, is 237 total with Jetspeed driver and 221 with mini driver.

230 to 260 with roll, never thought of measuring from tee to touchdown.

Pretty difficult to determine that from the tee if the ground is dry.

 

[DanFST]

Should expect to hit it 264-274 according to my swingbyswing, that's till the ball rests not sure about carry. I've cracked considerably further on Trackman, but on the course with my GPS it never seems to work out like that!

Our 16th has a burn across the fairway at about 220yds from our medal tees. Unless there is a 2 club tail wind I'm laying up every time - 'nuff said.

 

[Foxholer]

88-92mph swing speed.

225yd carry

Have managed 1 400yd Drive, though it was a tad breezy! 'Best' 3-wood in the opposite direction went 110!

 

[North Mimms]

Surprisingly little ******** being posted on this thread.

Only one claiming 300+ yards.
Load of lightweights

Thats my hybrid

 

[shewy]

I'm pretty short, 220 on my best day, can't ever recall anyone being 80 yards past me though, 30 yards past me max and thats a big hitter. And played with plenty of different folk in comps this year.

As has been said these threads are pretty pointless really because they turn into
exaggerations pretty quickly.
Most people don't know the meaning of average it seems.
To have an average of 270-280 over the course of a round lets say 8 drives at
least 4 would have to be over 300 yards to counter act the 250 yard drives to get an average of 275.
Lets take 4 of my drives at North Hants 285+235+250+35=800 average =200.
I can safely say now that anyone who has an average of over 250 over a whole round on the fairway
where it counts needs to come back down to earth.
Oh and another thing to remember is who you have played with because they would know to

I'd be laying up with you. Ask the greenkeeper to move the burn 30-40 yards to allow for new technology and big boys with big arms.

We have a couple of holes that are raised so you can see touchdown will try it tomorrow.

All inwill ill say is that there's more than one average. For me if I'm playing a course I'll use what I know to be the average of a decent and expected drive. I won't take the putter on the tee and lay up if there's a stream 20 yards ahead in case I hit the one duff off the day.

my 109mph swing gives me 264 carry. I used to generate 4800/5200 rpm and this seriously killed my distance. my sldr 430 gives me 30 yards more with 2200/2500 spin
