On trackman my swing speed has dropped quite significantly from where it used to be (boooooo!). I am carrying about 230 ish, and running out to 255. On the golf course it varies massively depending on conditions.

Im averaging 251 on GameGolf so I'll take the 250+ category 
That obviously includes run!

I only counted 2 holes to use driver on last round where it didn't put you too close and on a partial shot. 3 wood or 19 degree hybrid all day for position. If we played in America or on courses where every par 4 is 450y then driver would be necessary. I'd take a better sort game over my distance any day ...... I know what costs me WAY more shots!

A good drive for me would be about 240 yards. A more typical one would be about 230. My swing speed was measured last week at only around 85 mph, but I have a draw which produces a bit of extra roll with my G15. I'm going to be moving towards a higher loft driver though to try and get a bit more carry.

At my fitting I was swinging at an average of 107mph, with that I was carrying an average of the high 260's.

I find mine now consistently bounce back of the fence around 110 yards nowadays. Must be the new range balls...🤣
About 200-220. Would prefer more accuracy than more distance especially now they've let the rough in some parts grow to Erin Hills proportions and its a lost ball every time you go there (and not always that far off line)

Almost, but you forgot to multiply the result by the pi over bull factor...

I also hit the fence at the range.. unfortunately it's the one on the left.

I wonder has the introduction of things like Game Golf and GPS reduced the amount of flagrant hyperbole when is comes to driving distances?
Figures on this thread are (mostly) believable, but I've seen earlier threads where half a dozen FM claimed to be outdriving the PGA Pro average...

The average male has a SS of 85 mph, but there are some very fast swingers out there...
PGA tour average is 113 mph, A guy in my regular 4 ball swings at around 120 mph..

Swing at about 100mph, and an average carry(allowing for mis-hits etc, which are the normal) of about 220 yards, certainly would not normally take on a carry over 220 yards on the course unless texas or for fun. Run out varies a lot depending on conditions, but normally 230-260 yards on flat holes.

The joke at my place with the lads is I drove the ball 315 yards on Captains day out......and came off with a 9. So take from that what you will.

After being measured on trackman I hit it around 230-250 yards carry - but it was very much dependent on my strike.

It is a very interesting topic- everyone over estimates the distance. A guy in my fourball who is new to golf asked my other pp how far he drove as he plays off 3 and hits the ball very well. He expected him to say 300+ and was surprised when he said around 250-270.

On a decent drive I guess the carry would be around the 220yd mark.

Kid that plays with us some times, when he tags along with his dad, plays off 4 at 14 and he "only" drives the ball 250 .. but thats consistent and on the fairway straight
someone else we play with can hit 300 yards but 3/10 of them will be in trouble
