how far can you hit a 12 degree driver
The distance you can hit a 12-degree driver depends on several factors, including your swing speed, technique, and the specific club design. Generally, a lower loft angle (like 12 degrees) tends to produce a lower ball flight with more roll, which can result in greater distance for golfers with higher swing speeds.
Here are some approximate distance ranges for a 12-degree driver:
- Beginner/Slow Swing Speed (less than 70 mph): 150–180 yards
- Intermediate/Mid Swing Speed (70–85 mph): 180–220 yards
- Advanced/Fast Swing Speed (85–100 mph): 220–260 yards
- Professional/Very Fast Swing Speed (over 100 mph): 260–300+ yards
Keep in mind that these are general estimates. The actual distance you achieve will also depend on factors like the club’s design (e.g., size of the sweet spot, center of gravity location), the ball you’re using, and the conditions you’re playing in (e.g., wind, elevation).
