Driving Distance

Juniors what do you guys say your average drives are this is probably the only thing i can say i do well in so lets hear it how far can you guys hit it out there

If i catch it right (which lately i have been :tongue: ) she can go about in the range of 320 and its fun to just watch it fly :cheesy:

average is around 280 im 14 5'9 175lbs

Lets hear about the long ball!

Please dont laugh...but my avg. is around 220.

If your talking average... its just about 295 yds....probly around 290-295yds...... if you talking grip it and rip it ive sent a few close to 350 in the right conditions(eg. downhill with a lil wind. and once sent one 365....every round i have more than my fair share over 300.....310,315,320.....but u always have the ones u dont hit well which only go 270 or so..... but i more concerned with keeping the ball in play nowa days because that is what will help my score so i dont mind....being 5-10yds shorter for more acuracy which leads to closer approach shots into the greens...its a relative. :tongue:

Im not laughin either a buddy of mine only hits it at the VERY FURTHEST 240.... but his short game is one every person would envy so even from 6500- and longer he can still shoot scores in the low 70's and im talkin 70,71,72.

yeah one time i played a par 5 550 yards downhill and a nice wind behind me and i hit it right on the 150 yard marker (400 yards :tongue: ) but i ended up making bogey after hitting my 9 iron over the back in a bunker and then hitting my bunker shot 20 feet by and 3 putting :cheesy: distance is not the biggest factor in the game

I average around 250-260 off the tee. I can shoot a decent number from any length course because my short game saves me most of the time. The longest drive I've ever hit was 368 way downwind on a fast fairway. It was on a par 5. Made bogey after I dumped the second shot into some water I didn't know was there :cheesy: .

I'm 18, 5'11", 130lbs. :grin: :ok: ;) :tongue:

average is about 260-270 but i rely on my short game to score

I usually carry about 215-200.

So with some roll I am out there

about 230ish. (fyi- I am not a bad

golfer and have a pretty good

swing and am really working to

get it longer...handicap-8ish)

I edited this b.c

it is old and have also read ahead. I

have a really hard time believing

a lot of these kids and think they

should be more honest with them-

selves. I mean 310 average...for

some I understand but multiple

people have said it so...

15years old, 5'6", 130lbs

About 265. Not the longest but I'm comfortable with it.

Edit: 16 years old, 5"11, 143 lbs

In the 250 range. Not very long but working on it. My irons from 7 in save the day.

Edit:

I'm 6 foot 1 and my weight is about 135 pounds.

At my home course the fairways are super wide, so my Club-Pro told me the wack the sh!t out of it when I have the room. :tongue:

got my launch conditions checked out by titleist, carry about 270 avg is around 280.

for all u ppl sayin u hit over 300 regularly...wtf?

are u guys measuring the doglegs and stuff or are these ur actual numbers u got on a launch monitor?

goose u said u avg like 320....thats more than tigers avg, andi dont think u are as fit as tiger is... just my assumption cause i dont know u but 320 is hard to believe.

Out of interest for the 300 yard plus people what is the role on those drives, because I find it hard to believe someone could carry it 300 yards, unless they really really wack it..

I agree. I've played with a ton of people here in FL who claim to hit it 300+...and I've only seen 3 people carry the ball 300 yards on a regular basis.

320 is not the average of my drives i was saying that when i catch it it can go in that range im not near that because of my consistancy troubles

I think we should include age, height, and weight, because "junior" is such a broad range of ages

Im 18, 6', 153lbs, and I hit it 275 avg

*everybody who posted, just edit your post with the information if you want to

No i dont average 320...if u read it correctly i average right at about 290-295 as it reads.....then i wrote what i can usually hit a few in a given round....... as far as distance is concerned i am real long for my size...5'9" 160.17yrs old..... :tongue:

Kyle i have noticed that when i am in Florida that the ball doesnt carry as well through the air. if its humidity or what im not sure but i tend to lose around 10 yds of carry in fla. Hav you noticed an increase when you play in different places other than florida.... actually that goes for any REAL humid places like hilton head, myrtle beach etc.

(we need to get some more meat on you 5'11" 130???? LOL)

As for the big fellas here I don't qualify, but I wouldn't consider myself short. Average = 285ish, Well hit =290, really going for it and well hit = 315 and for all of the questioners, I am 15, 6'3, and 230 lbs. I also weight train 4-5 times a week for baseball.

about 270

I'm 14,5'11,140lb

My swing speed is 105-110 depending

my swing is in my sig

I carry the ball 280-290. I am 5 10 145lbs.

Croonie

I average about 315 - 325. I am 6' 1" 135 lbs and I am 15 years old. I can really move the ball and my longest drive ever came in around 440 ish. I take great pride in driving where I am long and straight and in putting. Those are the best parts of my game so I should be well off after I fix the irons and wedges. Oh and I get mabey 5 - 10 yards roll max on my drives.

Im 13, 4 11'' 85 pounds and i carry it about 215 so i usually hit it around 220-230.

4' 11" 85 lbs eh? I would eat you for breakfast! Just kiding but seriously I would.

This is getting out of hand. There is no way you guys are hitting the ball this long. If you did, we'd be hearing more about you. I only hit the ball about 250, but as you can see by my handicap that driving distance can mean nothing.

Not necessarily. I know a lot of people who hit it deep and can't break 80. It all comes down to short game, IMO. I do agree that your handicap proves that distance means nothing.

I'm 5' 6". 108 lbs, and a girl (as u can tell by the sn) i hit it about 240-260 sometimes more at best but my drives are very accurate and straight so i'm not really worried about the distance factor it will hopefully increase with time...

Distance isnt about how big you are....and short game is FARRRRR more important... i truly believe that and that is what i am constantly working on to get me where i want to go.

Glad to see theres a girl member....WELCOME! :tongue:
