How far should a teenager drive a golf ball?

Question

ages 14-17

Answer 1

300-360 yards

Answer 2

i dont knu ..

try to play pangya u know.. hahahah XD

Answer 3

depends on the swingspeed and skill. and by skill i mean whether they hit the sweetspot on the club. so many variables on this, there are a million answers. get to a swing monitor and have the swingspeed measured. also try to make the same swing you'd use on the course ie dont try to showoff and swing outta your shoes just to get a high number.

good contact makes the most difference, then swingspeed and matching equipment to that. ie shaft loft etc.

Answer 4

I am fifteen and I usually drive the ball between 240-260.  My farthest was 280.  I just have trouble keeping it in play or I could swing harder.

Answer 5

Ther is not and overall average to give you.  It all depends on physical abilities and swing dynamics.  Both of these vary from one player to another.  I have seen guys 5'6 and 150 pounds hitting the ball 260 - 280.   I have seen guys 6'1 and 200 pounds hitting just past the womens tee.

Answer 6

That depends how good they are and how strong they are it's not a definite answer

Answer 7

Well, i am only 12 and drive the ball 200 yards. Swear to God. All these answers depend on how good you are and how long you have played.

14- 235 Yards

15- 257 Yards

16- 266 Yards

17- 286 Yards

Answer 8

I am 13 and I can drive the ball about 200 on the roll, a little less on the fly.  I myself am quite weak, and so people who have nice big muscles like 16-17 year olds who are bennining their prime of athleticism should be about to drice to anywhere from 275- 375.  Distance has three main factors to it and to me the most important is strength.  I just played in a tornament and the person who one was 15 and he only drove it about 230 on the roll. Hope I helped

Answer 9

When i was younger i could drive a golf ball very far which shocked my uncle but my downfall was when i was on the green.

Answer 10

There is no set answer for this question.I have been playing golf for nearly 30yrs and each person is different.

I have known a 14yr old boy drive nearly 300yards and playing off a handicap of 2.Its all to do with the skill level.

Answer 11

im 14 and i shoot in the mid 70's i hit my driver about 280 on average. i hit my 7 iron about 165. hope that helps. oh and i would say im better than the average haha

Answer 12

depends on body type, experience, and skill level.

the overall answer though, will always be "as far as he can"

Answer 13

I'm sixteen and I hit it about 370 yards on a good day with my taylormade burner 10.5 degree

Answer 14

umm depends 17 with skill id say about 225

14 id say like 150

Answer 15

Has he got a licence?

Answer 16

How long is a piece of string for it depends on the level of skill and ability to hit a ball tremendously fast and with great timing. One 17 year old can hit a ball 300 yards whilst another could barely reach 150 yards.

Answer 17

err. Have you got a driving licence

Answer 18

I am 16 years old and when I hit the sweet spot on a drive I put some effort into, I can hit it over 300 yards, the problem is that finding that sweet spot is a lot harder when I am trying to crush the ball.

Answer 19

all depends on skill and body type.  i am 5 ft 7about...and im 16. a little short for my age.  i drive it about 240-250.  now im not weak, in fact im stronger than a bunch of my friends who are like 6  ft because im more toned than them. if they are good they drive it much farther than i because they have longer arms and higher swing speeds. The way i keep up with them is leg muscles and keeping a solid core. one friend of mine who is about 2 inches taller drives it like 290-300 on average cause he leg presses like 400 lbs.
