What do you think your peak height is on average for your driver?
 
60 feet? I think I remember seeing this on my last flightscope session.
 
That's a good question and it's not a number I've ever looked at.

I'm usually around 26-27 yards unless I hit it low on the face - driver SS is right around 100
 
I feel like it is too low. 60ish feet.
 
70-80 ft unless I pop one up!
 
I have no clue but I would say that it is an easy 75 feet high
 
At most I'd say 15 yards or so ... I don't hit a really high ball. I'd love to get on a monitor and actually have it checked though.
 
I had to look up the average height of mature oaks...40-80', btw.

I'll guess 85'. But that seems kinda high.
 
I have nothing to base this on......zero....zip......nada, but I am going with 25 yards, or 75'. I recently started playing with 10.5 and saw an increase in peak height visually from my 9.5. I regret not getting on the scope at KickOffClassic.

Not that high at all actually. I like following these threads then watching threads that pop up with people "hitting the ball to high"
 
I actually don't know this!! I'll have to hop on a sim sometime soon with my driver & check it out. I'm usually so concerned with total yardage that I don't think I've ever looked at peak height.
 
Having just gone through a bunch of driver fittings I can answer this. With my R15 I was ballooning the ball and seeing peak height around 48 yards, but after getting fit into M2 I settled around the 30-35 yard mark.

Good stuff. I think with your D200 you were at 31.5 yards (according to FlightScope).
 
A recent demo session with the LTD was right about 40. I don't know if that was feet or yards. I think the G30 is normally higher so maybe 50???
 
60 feet sounds right.

I really wish I wrote those numbers down somewhere but yeah the D200 launched so well. It was giving me great height when my swing generated nothing of the sort.

No idea. I didn't see what I was doing on the flight scope. Not sure if that was average compared to my G30.

The Callaway XR16 was 33 yards for you.

If I am remembering correctly, it was the lowest one I hit.
 
90'. I want more
 
Last weekend it was maybe 6 feet. As far as what it normally is, I have no idea.
