250 off the tee is fine. Its probably above average, matter of fact. You can play up to 6800 yard courses with no problem.

Average distances should include mis-hits and not just perfectly struck shots.

Unusually long hits due to hitting the downslope on the back of a green, or after just clearing a bunker or mound, should probably be discounted entirely. Same goes for flubbed shots. I think the OP does need to work on his method of estimating iron distances, but including only his reasobably good shots in the average would be more useful for club selection.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

A draw will add about 30 yards of distance with the forward spin and forward roll.

A draw has exactly as much forward spin as any other golf shot not hit with a putter*, namely none.

* Barring a total top/duff and if you want to play for those good luck to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
