How far do you drive the ball?

[Liverbirdie]

When I nail one I set the measure shot on my S1 watch. All very depressing when I reach my ball and the first digit on the watch is still leading with a 1

What does the second (and final) digit say?

 

[Jensen]

Not far enough ☹️

 

[Papas1982]

:whoo:

A track man would scare a few people around here.

I have my old 910 driver in the bag and know for a fact I am giving up yardage to the fancy dan drivers available but do not care as I feel comfortable keeping this thing in play.

I think you'd be surprised, I wasn't giving up much yardage at all. I got fitted on Trackman against my Titleist 910D2. Averaged 242 with the 910, 247 with the Cobra F7, 255 with the M2 and 257 with the Epic. However, I hit the M2 and the Epic after getting a few tips from Phil Archer on angle of attack, went from hitting 2 up with my driver to hitting 4 up with the M2 and Epic. On equivalent hits there's probably 3 or 4 yards in it at most.

 

[garyinderry]

There is nearly 20yards between that 910 and epic.


Extra yardage is fine though if it's going in the right direction. Sending it 20yards further into the bad stuff isn't a good thing.

I'm happy with the balance at the minute.

As per Game Golf

Best ever drive 291. Done that twice
Good drive 235-245
Average 210-220

 

[Region3]

Club speed around 100, carry on LM's is usually between 240-250.

At the moment they're rolling out to about 260-270 on average. 290 tops and about 220 for a bad one.

Everyone remembers and only announces there best ever drives, but in reality they will be well short of that distance on a regular basis.

I've played with many people on here and I can count on 1 hand those that can carry 240+ with any degree of regularity.

I really don't get the willy waving antics of threads like this, I nearly won (came 2nd) in our most prestigious medal board comp on Saturday and I used my 4w off all bar 3 or 4 tee's, as such I was on the fairways 90% of the time for my 2nd shot to the green, which OK was longer than had I hit driver, but then 50%+ of those drives I would possibly not have had a straightforward shot to the green or a shot at all!

I'll give up distance for accuracy every day of the week.

As for some of the distances being reported on here, I'm yet to see them on any meets so they are not your averages IMO, I reckon you must have all been fishermen, catching tiddlers but then after several pints they were all feckin' massive and gave up a hell of a fight and were 2ft long

 

[Dellboy]

215-220 ish, on a good day 240 ish

I'll have a tenner with you for H4H on our round at Forest Pines on my average if you like?

Driver only though, I'll even let you do the measuring

I did say I could count on 1 hand that I know of those that can, put yer willy away

 

[mcbroon]

As far as I can

You just don't want me smashing it into the trees and leaving you on your own

If you had used youre driver you might have won it,nobody remembers the runner up.
As my mum says 2nd is nowhere

 

[pokerjoke]

Been to countless meets and the longest drive has never been over 290

Well £70 in Pro vouchers ain't nuffin

and when a 9 handicapper grosses the course for a 64 and then I'm 2nd with 71 and only 3 players from 180 played better than par (73), I don't think the driver would have made any difference, it was very windy so I played within myself and to the conditions, I'm happy with my cut :smirk:

Thanks Robin. That was a great round at Woburn last year, shame the fairways were a bit wet 'cos I reckon I could have topped out at 290'ish. You didn't drive too badly either after your shakey start.

Three of the biggest hitters I've played with on here are Paul, (Pieman), James, (JustOne) and Richard, (BlueinMunich).
Each one of them is capable of a 300 yarder but they don't do it on a regular basis.
I've played with Gary (Region3) and whilst he isn't maybe as long as the three guys above, he is more consistent.
I know who I would least like to face in matchplay.

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

I have no idea and don't really care tbh 😂

240 is right on my carry limit. Into any kind of wind that number diminishes quite rapidly.

Anyone swinging around 100mph with any kind of decent launch will get it to 235+ carry of which there are plenty on the board.
