How Fast Is Golf Drive (pro)?

A pro golfer's clubhead reaches 90 m/s — 320 km/h — at impact. The ball leaves at up to 320 km/h with intense backspin, which generates lift that keeps it airborne for 6+ seconds. Driving distances of 350+ yards are now common at the pro level.

A driven golf ball generates so much lift from backspin that it stays airborne for 6+ seconds — giving 350+ yard drives.
