A 51y old hitting it 450y at sea level? Sadlowski better should look out cuz here comes the dutch hammer .

Btw. OP - you played on an airfield runway or what? Maybe you should have asked the tower if it has landed yet........

I'd be shocked if it even went 350+.

Most likely a lovely 290 yard drive, but hey if it looks like it went far, why not exaggerate just a

tad .
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

don't know what happened, but it landed way over . . . and I don't have the faintest idea . . .

Mine usually land somewhere - sometimes on the wrong fairway. The Pro V1 is a popular ball - you sure someone coming the other direction didn't hit their drive into your fairway and you into theirs? Maybe you both hit 450 yard drives?What kind of marking do you use to identify your ball?

Welllll I just carry the big gun around sometimes, in fun rounds with my buddies ..... I have had 300-330 yds drives with my standard driver, allthough average is about 270-280 yds. With the big gun ..... I have had many around 350-400 yds with rocks like the PTS Distance..... but the one of last monday ...... well I don't know it just kept on going, had a bad wegde at about 8 yds from the hole, missed the eagle putt and made the birdie.

During those fun rounds I don't care much on which balls I use ..... Pinnacle or Ultra rocks will do fine, for distance, and that is also lots of fun ..... isn't it ?

It was strange to ask my buddies if it landed ..... it didn't .......

I've seen one 450 yard drive in my life. It hit one of the concrete yardage markers at about 260 yards, bounced forward and to the right to the cart path. Hit the cart path and bounced about 80ft in the air, and came down and hit the cart path again and shot forward and rolled another 40-50 yards. Craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. Needless to say, he Eagled that hole.

I am not gonna doubt you, but I was watching the long drive championship on ESPN today and not one went over 400 yards and their clubhead speed was over 140 mph.

Another sandtrap member and myself were watching the same thing today and did see one hit 412 - we were wondering why the op wasnt there to show them how it is done

I believe the bidding is at "did". I'll raise that to "didn't".
