How far would my golf drive go after it flew in the air 225 yards?
assuming the fairway is straight and flat and the grass is cut right and it's not wet out, etc. you know, the average layout for a golf course when you hit the ball. i am asking because i drive it at a range and in the air it lands between the 200 and 250 yard marker but the 250 marker is the fence, sooooo it stops there every time. how much would it roll probably? do you think if i hit it in the air 225 yards it would go 275…further? thanks.

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters .if you are playing a course near a major city, or body of water. the air will be much denser restricting roll. your 225 carry. the best you could hope for is 245 maximum. this is regardless of ground conditions. if you move further inland, or away from heavy air, minimum water . 225 could realist be in the 260 to 275. just keep practising . best of luck

Assuming your shot is straight and you have a mid-trajectory you should get a conservative 20 yards of roll to an optimistic roll of 40 yards. However, there are a lot of variable that go into this answer: Trajectory, slope, shape of the shot, etc… I would say plan for a shot between 250/260 and go from there….

Rolling distance depends largely on the launch angle of your swing. If you hit it high up in the air, although it may be carrying 225, the ball might not roll at all. I've seen some of my friends back spin a driver before.Also, the loft of your driver and the wind do add to the distant of the roll. In general, on flat surface, you should be getting 20-30 yeards.

Probably not much further than 275, but that's a darn good hit. 95% of the golfers cannot hit it that far, so you're lucky you can. BTW range balls generally don't fly as far, so you should go to a golf course with some good distance balls and really see what you can do! Good luck.

I usually hit my ball about 225, with another 30-40 yards of roll, making the entire drive about 255-265. It depends on the type of ball you're playing and the conditions, but it normally should have anywhere between 30 and 50 yards of roll.

The only way to take the guess work out of this would be for you to take your game to the course instead of banging driver on a range that is obviously too short for you.

It all depends on your launch angle. A higher tee shot that carries 225 yards won't roll as much a ball with a lower flight.Other things that will impact the roll after it lands are spin (hook spin will run farther than fade spin) and course conditions.

wouldn't it also depend on the spin rate and your launch angle? but figure on anywhere betweem 10-30 yards of roll depending on so many factors that its impossible to list here.

It depends on the angle of the ball's flight but if it was an average flight it would probably roll another 50 yards so about 275 or around there

It depends on the trajectory of the ball and the slope of the fairway
