# A 250 yard drive

A drive that totals 250 yards on a fairway landing carries about 231 yards and takes 97 mph of club head speed on the published tour table, with 141 mph of ball speed. That speed is about a 9 handicap on the handicap model and above the peak of the age model. On a 400 yard par 4 it leaves 150 yards, from where the fairway table needs 2.945 strokes to hole out.

## Key figures

- A 250 yard total drive carries about 231 yards and takes 97 mph of club head speed on the published tour table.
- On a 400 yard par 4 a 250 yard drive leaves 150 yards, worth 2.945 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 250 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.
