# A 260 yard drive

A drive that totals 260 yards on a fairway landing carries about 241 yards and takes 101 mph of club head speed on the published tour table, with 146 mph of ball speed. That speed is about a 6 handicap on the handicap model and above the peak of the age model. On a 400 yard par 4 it leaves 140 yards, from where the fairway table needs 2.910 strokes to hole out.

## Key figures

- A 260 yard total drive carries about 241 yards and takes 101 mph of club head speed on the published tour table.
- On a 400 yard par 4 a 260 yard drive leaves 140 yards, worth 2.910 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 260 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.
