Re: Driving Range Distances and Old Clubs

I work at a golf course and van look at the magazines they buy their equipment from. Recently the course bought new balls for the driving range and they had a selection of different balls. The balls had a listed Maximum hit on them for a swing of 115 mph (quite fast i think??). Some were 200 yards maximum (cheap) and most were 220 yards. There were bettrer more expensive range balls that went 270 yards maximum

It said the whole point is to keep it in the driving range area, My pro said the balls at our range go 15 yards shorter when he hits them and it is the same for me too.
