A ball speed of 159mph would equate to a swing speed of approx 110 with a smash factor of 1.45 which is a well (though not perfectly) struck shot.

With a speed of 110 miles per hour and a smash factor of 1.45 and everything else being optimal (launch angle, spin, angle of descent) you should achieve a carry distance of 269 yards, with about 15-20 yards of roll for a total distance of approximately 280-290 yards.
