Question

How much does a golf ball roll on a drive after it lands...percentage?

Answer 1

It depends on the intial launch angle.. along with ball speed and then the angle of descent.

If you hit a low lining screamer.. with a low launch.. and high ball speed.. you could end up rolling more than 50 yards..

If you have a high launch angle.. in my case.. mine is around 14-15*.. 98-99 mph swing speed..

I end up with about 245-250 carry.. 5-10 yards of roll.. at best.. but.. thats the way I like it.

Answer 2

It all depends on the type of impact the ball gets from the club head. A slight draw ball will definitely travel further compared to a slight fade ball. At the other extreme neither a hook ball nor a sliced ball will travel very far.

On an ideal weather and fairway condition a draw ball will travel about 30~35% more upon landing on the fairway, whilst a slight fade ball will travel only about 10~15% more after landing on the fairway.

A draw ball will have acquired that characteristic +ve spin after impact, whereas a fade ball has a -ve spin after impact.

Of course the best shot would be for a straight line ball flight path which will achieve the desired distance and landing area, although it could be slightly shorter than a draw ball, with a run of about 15~20% after landing.

Answer 3

That depends on where it lands, course conditions, and many other variables.

A well-hit ball that lands in a well-kept fairway will roll a considerable amount, adding (rough estimate) up to 20% onto the drive: 200 yards in the air + 40 yards on the ground.

Answer 4

Very vague question. Too many different conditions to apply.

Answer 5

that also depends on how you hit it.  How much spin or back spin.  Thats an impossible question to answer.

Answer 6

Typically it will roll 20-40 yards depending on the conditions of the course.

Answer 7

Depends on the degree of your driver and the launch angle. A 10.5 degree driver will have more carry but roll less compared to a 9.5 degree driver
