# A 180 yard drive

A drive that totals 180 yards on a fairway landing carries about 167 yards and takes 72 mph of club head speed on the published tour table, with 101 mph of ball speed. That speed is about a 35 handicap on the handicap model and beyond the oldest band on the age model. On a 400 yard par 4 it leaves 220 yards, from where the fairway table needs 3.320 strokes to hole out.

## Key figures

- A 180 yard total drive carries about 167 yards and takes 72 mph of club head speed on the published tour table.
- On a 400 yard par 4 a 180 yard drive leaves 220 yards, worth 3.320 strokes from the fairway; ten more yards are worth about 0.04 of a stroke per approach.

## Scope

- The speed is the published tour driver anchor inverted for 180 yards of total distance with a modeled 8 percent roll; the tee shot rows use the site’s dispersion model with a spread scaled to the distance.
