264 yards on a 364 par 4 dog leg left. I hit it with a nice draw to the 100 yard marker. Chunked the approach, bladed the chip and two putted for a bogey (worst feeling in the world).

With lots of wind - 450 yards is my longest. It was blowing 40+ mph straight downwind on a par 5.

I've never had an all-out bomb shot like a couple people here have. I exceed 300 now and again, I think my longest was about 320-330 at Sedona Golf Club. I remember because I had just a good one on the hole before and I turned to my wife real sarcastically, "yeah, I think I'm gonna hit another one about 320 or so on this hole," and I actually did!

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

Don't feel bad, neither have any of them.

Remember the internet adds an automatic 50+ yds to every drive. Have a great day.

My drives aren't all that long & have never stated they were. 220 is about my average & I have no reason to bs anyone on a website. Unfortunately I have yet to see anywhere near the number of people either on the range or at the course who are able to bomb drives the way some of the people here claim to. If you truly can...great for you, i'm sure you are happy. Have a fantastic night.

About 350. 6th hole, short par 5. Pushed it slightly to the right along a tree line, cleared the hill, and kicked down and left into the fairway. Must have hit a turtle or something on the way out there, because I didn't hit it that hard, but sure enough in the front of the marker, near the bottom of a hill, was my ball. Average 240 carry, with roll 260-270, sometimes 300 if it's dry.

I didn't say you said your drives were bombs. What I said was, you shouldn't claim other people are lying about their

career longest drives just because you've not seen that many people who cam bomb it. P.S. No, I am by no means a bomber (240-250 ave) but what most people are describing here ( myself included ) is freaks, one offs, ie; 20 mph tailwind with a downhill landing area etc... Not regular occurrances...

320 with my previous Callaway X460 driver. Not sure what I did different and not sure how much roll because I couldn't see where it landed. It was a fairly flat fairway though.

With my current (just added within the last month) HiBore XL driver, my longest is 300. That is with about 30 yards of roll down a gradual slope. I've been carrying this driver 270 on average and consistently much straighter than the X460. My mechanics are improving but the HiBore XL is also far more forgiving than the X460 was.
