What is the furthest you guys can blast a golf ball with your one driver? I can't hit that hard but at best I can get it around 230 yards. Pretty pathetic, I know.
Never actually recorded my drive distance. I'd say I hit at least 270 yards each time. I know i've hit more before but I don't know the exact amount, sorry.
Stratocastor, more practice - better you get, good luck!
I usually get fairly consistant drives of about 280-290 yards when I hit the ball right. It feels good to just pound a ball and send it into the next hole if I want to.
But don't feel bad if you can't hit it hard, hitting it straight is the most important thing to do anyways.
At the driving range I hit further then the distance of it, which was 300 yards which is good for me, if it was longer I would of been able to see how far I could of hit it, although due to high fences the ball just hit it..
Probably around 275 for me. I am not a strong driver. I am good with fairway woods and with my irons. Driving is not my strong point for sure. I should start lifting, get some more abdominal muscle and get those hips moving faster.
I have actually driven it around 300 yards before. I got extremely lucky and I was pounding them out on the course and I just happened to hit one pretty straight and I saw it land around the 300 flag. I'll tell you what, I was convinced that I was going to hit the PGA the next day.
I'm not the best driver either. I usually average about 190-230 yards. I have improved though. I used to be only able to drive like 150, but now as you can see, I'm up in the 200's. So I'm pretty proud of myself.
Not nearly as far as I'd like to be able to. Every once in a while you just get that perfect shot, but most of the time I can't hit it that well and it doesn't go nearly as far as I'd like it to
I'm really not a 'big hitter' - but I've always been pretty consistent/straight.
One of the best purchases I made last year was a 'clearance' Cobra SZ 460. I used a Calloway Biggest Big Bertha (I think the original one) for about 10yrs leading up to that, and probably averaged 240 - I could maybe get a touch more from time to time. But WOW, these big head/sweet spot drivers really work! I'm getting the same consistency, with 20 extra yards and more... I'm about 5-6'' - so I feel like a cartoon character with this thing!
I joke with my playing partners that I have 'embraced the technology' - don't fight it... They just roll their eyes..
I can drive almost every green at my home course. I drove the 18th yesterday and it's yardage is 317. If I really rip one and hit it solid I can drive about 320. My home course is easy on the front but the back is like hitting concrete greens.
