In the air about 260. My ball flight is really high though, so I don't get much roll if any.

There are a couple good ones for sure, but I suspect most are either one-offs (flukes) or people not understanding the concept of dog leg holes. I encourage taking people's claims at face value, but g

Just this past weekend, I poked 2 balls out on 18 that were around the 320yd mark...18th is a 421yd par 4, teed WAY up above the fairway. Just crushed the 2 balls, absolutely amazing feeling...And the best part was because of the ridiculously high tee boxes, there's little to no roll...

Only joking. Probably around 345 slightly downhill with a little tail wind. Normal for me is 285.

Stranger things have happened... 1000 monkeys with typewriters and all that.

Besides, long drives aren't necessarily in the fairway and/or good.

My longest drive is with my 3 wood, slight downhill with a gale force wind behind. Ended up on the green of a 350m par 4, and the tees were back, so it was at least 340m. 1st hole as well, missed the eagle putt but got the birdie, great way to start around.

Legit 340 from an extremely elevated tee, twice (#7 at Creston GC, BC, Canada), the forward group looks really tiny down there) slight leg right and a downhill roll. No idea what carry lengths are, I just look at final resting spot.

Usual is 250 and pretty happy with a 260. A good tail wind has gotten me a few 300's over the years.

Using the markers, I've gotten 300 twice on a local hole, so I bet they're wrong. Just doesn't add up to doing it twice with my usual distance.

Fun thread !!

My longest drive was at Wolf Creek Golf Club in Lesquite, NV. The wind was a good 40MPH. I hit my driver with the wind to my back. It kept going and going. Well over 300 yards. Thats for a 220 yard hitter.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
