I got a quick question for everyone. Have you ever really measured how far you can drive? Not just walking off your drive or using the distance on a hole. I bring this up cause me and a few buddies were having a little argument about how far everyone could throw their drive and they all thougt they threw 375 400' cause of the lenght of a few holes and I called bs on them so we went to lined football field and guess what? Not a single one on this windless day could throw from one end to the other (endzone to endzone is 360') So if you really want to know your true distance you should try that and you might be suprised. My best throws landed aroundd 350'

The picture attached shows where I practice my throws. It's perfect for driving practice. From the end of the cement to the trees is 390'. Most of my throws land around the 350' mark, but I've been getting more and more to hit the trees. I didn't measure, but my farthest was probably around 425'.

I hope that kid has good reflexes.
Generally I can get an easy 430-450 out of my Crush, 400-415 out of my Force. I was hoping the nuke would get me to 500 ish but I cannot get it to not turn over. Furthest measured distance in competition was 523ft.
At distance competitions, they generally throw mid 160's for weight, depending on wind, of course. I like my drivers 170-172.
When I'm playin my A game I'm very accurate from 275-325' but can exceed 400' when conditions are right although without much accuracy.

Was learning to bomb a Valkarie 400' a while back but it was breaking in too fast and tended to turn too much and was finally forever lost ... lol ...now learning to do the same with an esp avenger ss but its a little more finicky.

I learned to drive too many years ago in an old school fashion when a solid 300' was pretty respectable - straight, low, and narrow with a two finger grip never letting your eye off the target. Now I'm adopting to these wide rimmed discs and bigger pulls using a 4 finger grip and loosing sight of the target for max d. My goal was 400', Was so happy when I got it, now just have to make it consistent and accurate!
450+ all day. longest drive 511
I use to think it was far if you could stand in the endzone of a football field and throw through the goalpost at the other end.
