Everyone is different. We all have different bodies, mindsets, age, time to play, time to practice, etc.

I know when I started I said i wanted to throw 600 ft... I still dont doubt I can someday, but itll be take me perfecting my form at the least. And that has been a two year battle already.

My current distance goal is 500 ft/ 450 ft spike hyzer. Its more then enough to play with the big boys.

What is your current goal?
 
My overall goal is 500ft but currently shooting for over 400 consistently and trying to get that first one over 450ft. Before this year i maxed out at around 375 to 385. I have been able to hit between 410 and 430 on a few occasions this year and hope to be able to continue to work towards improving that.
 
I'd love to be able to get to 400 consistently. I'll hit it every once in a great while, but 350-360 consistently is where I sit.

I've also come to realize (playing with a guy that usually throws around 280), that distance doesn't make that much difference in scoring.
 
Consistent 400-425 would be great... I hit that occasionally... but closer to 360 on most drives.
 
I want to be able to hit 400ft shots on golf lines, and press upwards in wide open distance scenarios. I've been changing my form so lately shots have been hit or miss...but the distance is picking up and cleaner shots. I want to get the accuracy next, as that currently has been my shortfall along with putting. I'd pick up 50 ratings points if I could do those things:wall::wall::wall:
 
I've come to the realization that my current distance (about 350) is probably the max I'll ever achieve. My goals are more focused on tightening up the short game.
 
Would love to be able to hit 400ft! Did a major form overhaul this year, Learned to throw forehand, got rid of all the high speed drivers and my accuracy is much improved, but at 54 I don't know if it's in my creeking bones to ever get to 400 consistently. But I try anyway. 340 is my accuracy average and most of the time I can throw a Teebird just as far as my drivers (which are only speed 9 anyway).
 
Six weeks removed from shoulder surgery number two, with no real idea if I'll ever be able to throw backhand again. Currently am at exactly 0° external rotation and can't lift my hand higher than my waist line.
So I have no idea anymore. This spring, when I was starting to see 400, I would have said my goal was 500'.
Now, it might be being able to putt from 15.
 
Three hunnert looks far away viewed here from my wildly inconsistent Mamba-lovin' 250.

Takes awhile to build coordination. One day youll look back and say "man it was so hard to throw 250' back then" while your throwing much further with basically zero effort.
 
I am really trying to get my FH up to 500ft. I've done it three times but it was kind of flukey with a tailwind. Usually I can count on 420-440 and will hit 450+ maybe 2-3 times a month but if I could reach back for 500 that would be killer.

Trying to refine my hyzerflipping to get there. I usually throw a very stable disc on an anny line to get max D but have started throwing less stable discs on a hyzerflip line and can throw 400 hardly trying, I just tend to roll it if I put much more on it.

Backhand I've finally worked up to 400ft and I may have some more in the tank, would
Really like to get to 450. But I will take 400+ from both sides for now.
 
on most golf holes the distance isn't much of an issue, more-so the shaping of the shot TO the distance. Straight open I average around 380. A handful of times is over 400. and ONCE I hit 500, but with a slight tailwind.

Anyway, I don't really judge on distance as I would shaping a shot at a certain distance.
For anhyzers I got my King and Tern to do some great things.

For straight shots, D3 and Destroyer play nice

For hyzers....well, I'm not gonna hit a 400ft hyzer....
 
My distance goal is 450' for max d type shots and 400' consistent on the course. Right now i am getting 400' in the field and 360-70 on the course but this year was the most progress i have made with my distance since i started playing so hoping to do more of the same next year.
