How Far Do You Drive The Ball?

When I got fitted for my driver I had another 10 hits after the fitting to get my averages. So I've taken out the best 2 and the worse 2 out as there was a couple that I leaned into and totally smashed. The average came out at 293, if I take all 10 in then it is 298 :fore:
Im im not sure exactly what my distances are on course, but if I need to carry it 260 to clear the crap I will go over it, but if there's trouble out towards 300 then it is 3W time.

Remarkable ... I didn't realise that the majority could hit it that far. Has anyone on here tried qualifying for the Open or Tour School or does their handicap get in the way :rofl:

Didnt see this post before submitting mine, but this is the reason I put down what my comfortable carry is and when there is a chance of running out of fairway.
I didn't realise you moved to Colorado?

My average is around 250. However 50% of the time it's not straight and off to the right.
H4H day I was 20-25 yards short of the LD winner. GPS said I had 124 left to green. So around abouts 300 yards. Was my best drive ever. Shame the rest of my round wasn't that Good!

I've played with Adey he can hit it plenty far enough.

Has MikeH introduced a rule that "anyone caught fibbing is barred from offers like club fittings" ?
Cos I'm sure the last time this was discussed there were dozens of you regularly banging it out to 310 yards

I know what he's saying....
i know now how far I hit it and if I'm lying then I will obviously end up in a lot of trouble from the tee when it doesn't carry far enough. But a driver SS of 108mph with a smash factor of 1.48 does hit it a long way..........

This thread would be more relevant if it was "how straight do you hit the ball?"

All were measured using the skycaddie mark ball function! That said if they all landed on the fairway and I could hole any putts over 5ft I would not be off 8!

Lets not go into that one. But if you hit it far enough then it doesn't matter as much cause you've only got a short iron from the rough and that's not a hard shot to play.

in that case you must have added 50 yards since i was in the next bay from you at Woodhall

There's "straight", "just in the rough" and "WAYYYYY over there"

Me too.
With a decent strike, I carry it 238yds 10in. I measured this by hitting it into the far side of the ditch off the 1st at Blackmoor on the fly. GPS said 239 to carry and my ball was plugged 2in from the top.
