My view is that if I can consistently hit it over 200 yards and be in the fairway I can be competitive. Guys probably need to up that a bit for playing a longer course on average but similar rule of thumb will apply.

Not as far as I used to be able to but I'm a lot straighter and more consistent now so I will take that 
280 plus usually with a ss of 107-112 (which isnt bad for a fatty, smash factor usually 1.48 or better) depending how sore the back and left thumb is on the day. Have done trackman a few times and regularly see over 300 but with my ss it would need to be right out of the screws If only I could pitch.
Winter time its pure carry and colder air so would be closer to 260, I hit a high ball.

About 240 average.
Where I play hit it even that far and you are in to the rough on the doglegs on a lot of the holes.
Last time I went on machine (about 12 years ago) I was measured at 108mph but I doubt I get anywhere near that now, that's age and injury for you.

290 Yard carry on the trackman....220 yards in the rough on the course, I hate this game.
Ive hit a 340 drive on the 17th at old course this year, so taking that as my average:rofl::rofl::rofl:

It is really dependant on strike with the driver.
The poll doesn't state 'How far on average' which for me would probably be about 235 give or take 10 yards or so, due to slight mis-hits, missing fairways, wind conditions etc. However if I am driving it well and hitting it close to out the middle each time this will rise by 20 yards or so on average. GameGolf stats show an average of 255 yards on calm days when wind isn't much of a factor.

Probably around 240-250,
surely your average is including everything not just the good ones?? so 235 is it?

Under 200 on average, although a few go a bit further in certain conditions. I do find it frustrating giving up 50 yards to my playing companions, but the consolation is that I am very straight. Even the odd one that strays into the rough doesn't go far enough in to be lost.

That's what I am saying, the question does not ask average. Also if it was completely calm conditions would still probably be longer than the 235yards.
yes and if i had another 20 mph club head speed i would be hitting it further too:rofl:

You obviously do not get the point, or you just like being sarcastic.

I'd think that most men hit this Kaz, but they would never admit it.........
230-240 average, only 200-210 carry, maybe 260 on a beauty.
Are people working off trackman, or their best macho guess?

But in fairness it says how far do you drive the ball, not how far can​ you drive the ball.

Gamegolf shows a typical of 220 yards (including 100 yard stinkers) There's a reasonable line appearing at about 235 so I guess that's my normal "good one". And a couple of sunday best wind-assisted just short of 290.
Accuracy is 52% fairways hit, 29% left, 19% right.
Best ever was on the flat, and measured at 360 but that was wind-assisted and on a day that was so hot that the fairways were considerably harder than the tarmac of the road into the course; carried about 220 and then just bounced and bounced and bounced.

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
