I've seen my regular golfing buddy hit it about 420 twice on a downwind par 5 with a hard, dry fairway. Second time had a little cart path help, though.
@ryanlynch290 stop the cap! If you can drive it over 450 yards you’d be in long driving competitions and winning them. At least make it believable by saying 300 or 350 lmao by 457 yards hahaha
I have hit over 400 several times in Salt Lake City. When it is August and you are playing at 7,000 ft and the fairways are like concrete. Just carry the ball 290-305 and your roll out can be 125 yards
I worked at this course for 2 years. Rochelle Ranch. We had 5 trees total, and 3 of them were dead. 6500 ft elevation 8000 yards long. It is as beautiful as it is harsh. Snow doesn’t melt there, the wind just wears it out.
To put this into perspective, in 1974, Mike Austin at age 64 hit a drive 515 yards on the 14th hole while competing in the U.S. National Senior Golf Tournament. What was amazing was that the drive was done on a level fairway, using a persimmon wood driver with 10 degrees of loft and a 43.5" extra-stiff steel shaft. The ball was a soft balata. The only aid he had was a 25mph tail wind.
Do you know how hard that is? To hit that little white ball with the club face perfect square and with speed and launch angle and for it all to come together is a beautiful sight to see!! Congrats dude!
@@philkirby2692 When did anyone hit a world record against the wind. The thing about World Records like this is that anyone in the world can go to that same course (or any course) on a windy day of their choosing, and give it a whack. LMK when you do because I'll give you a kudo or a thumbs up as well.
Carl Cooper hit one 787 as it bounced on a path a few times then came back to the fairway that was in an actual golf tournament and is the longest drive in history
Go to the most windiest downhill place on earth with the most expensive driver in the world smash the best ball in the world as hard as you can and feel like you’re special, in a nutshell ..
@@johnsmith5560 just wanted to say you can see his hair blowing in the helping direction so ya. Also nobody hitting a golf ball 700 unless it’s with illegal equipment this stuffs been figured out all ready you can look up the concept of smash if you want. Also doubt you were there
Holy shit! I cracked one about 375 around 20 years ago and won the longest drive at a golf outing with 36 foursomes. I thought that was impressive, but this is fantastic. To be young again...LOL!
Tee her high and let her fly!!! Don't care what the haters say , try hitting a ball 300 yards and then your 3 wood 270 yards to the green and your still not in the same area code as Kyle here. 😮
It is almost certain that someone has hit further. Conditions are everything in these records so unless its an event or golf hole who cares. In scotland we can get crazy fast conditions, if you just made up a hole with a tailwind its not a world record its just fkn abou
That is impressive. But with a 50kph tailwind, not sure you can give it a record. Might as well hit it off the top of mt everest and get a 2 km carry distance.
@@casualguy393 You really are butt hurt by people mentioning the wind. Look at all the salty comments you've made. It's hilarious, sad, but still hilarious. Need a hug? Why are the distance markings making not perpendicular to the ball flight? Are they counting the distance of a dog-leg in the drive? How come in other comps he hasn't even come close to this distance? How is he 150 yards further on this drive? Simple questions. As far as world records, there are many sports that don't recognise records with a certain level of wind assistance.
@@dampaul13 I am butt hurt because this comment section is full of idiots who don't understand the conditions for world records? That's hilarious. The other hilarious thing is that the group of idiots include you. 1 of my friends is a World Record Adjudicator, so I'll educate you further since you seem 1 of the ones most needing it. They don't need "distance markings" because it was measured by GPS, and no, they don't count a dog leg. Only an idiot would use that as a terribly weak argument. Kyle has hit 480 yards in competition and +500 outside of competition. Mike Dobbin came onto the scene just after I got out of Long Drive, and he hit 551 yards on a course. The difference is (1) wind. Sometimes you get a huge tailwind that is actually blowing right down the fairway instead of crossing it. Another is that each course waters their fairways on specific days, and if you are lucky, you catch 1 of those days that coincides with the wind. Next, you need to time your fitness recovery so that you can maximize your head speed on that day, and then you have to be able to catch a ball perfectly to not only give you the right launch angle and spin rate, but also lands in a spot that isn't as soft as your mother's ass. Yes, I know about records that specific wind conditions are required. Take a look at my profile pic and you will see the bike I am training on for the time when the bike I am building that will someday run on Battle Mountain in the WHPVA, not for a world record attempt but just to see how fast I can go under my own power. Now, the sad thing is that you are almost certainly a keyboard warrior who hasn't ever pushed your body to any enviable limits, and just try to shit on everyone who has or is because you have small pipi syndrome and needs a hug.
It don't matter if it was down hill, tailwind, shaft length, head size 500+ is unbelievable. I'd just love to see 400 in person. Next level
I've seen my regular golfing buddy hit it about 420 twice on a downwind par 5 with a hard, dry fairway. Second time had a little cart path help, though.
Californian Mike Austin
ive seen martin borgmeier. Never seen a big dude move as fast before. It was like observing a glitch in the matrix
My two best are 408 and 457.
I think I got some cart path help with the 457 lol. Still can't putt for shit.
@ryanlynch290 stop the cap! If you can drive it over 450 yards you’d be in long driving competitions and winning them. At least make it believable by saying 300 or 350 lmao by 457 yards hahaha
When you realise you are hitting further than Happy Gilmore. 🤣
Goes to show how much the game has evolved that he's beating fictional characters haha
But Happy won the tournament and Kyle never will be do this...
I didn’t think 400 was possible, now 500 is possible. 600 in the summer. Watch out everyone.
it's a dog leg, the angle means loss of yards..
I have hit over 400 several times in Salt Lake City. When it is August and you are playing at 7,000 ft and the fairways are like concrete. Just carry the ball 290-305 and your roll out can be 125 yards
Well 400 is easy. 500 is insane 😂😂
@@EricBarthDevare you slow?
@@EricBarthDev ffs 🤦♂️
233 ball speed is unreal. Most guys on tour who already hit it harder than most, are hitting at like 185
Yh but they’d clear the pin if they hit it that hard. Not saying they can byw
Happy Gilmore had a 400-yard drive. So, 579.63 yards is impressive. 😆
lol “terrific”
To be fair happy Gilmore used clubs that were legal in actual competition, not made just to have the most distance
To be fair Happy Gilmore whole in oned a Par 4, I don’t think this guy could do that 😅
To be fair Happy Gilmore beat Shooter McGavin in the tour championship.
To be fair, happy Gilmore got grandmas house back
512 carry is fucking crazy
Had a little help with a few factors. Regardless, he can hit a golf ball really far
He is often one he has always hit the left to right further than anyone.
I won't degrade it as a fade
Yeah with wind
@@777LaI yeah 233mph ball speed, so regardless there’s like 0.0001% of golfers that would get close to that number even in those conditions

Downhill, downwind and cart path. Golf gods were aligned for Fabio
Dude hit an 8i over 300 on a sim. Look it up.
At Bryson's house, IIRC.
Probably a glitch ijs

Legend has it that your ball is still sailing 10 ft above the ground.

Got that thing tee'd up as high as the empire state building 😂😂😂. Congrats my dude
😄😆😅🤣😂
Beautiful shot!!!
He can probably hit a 60 degree further than i can hit a driver lol
That swing velocity is insane!!!
Congrats Bro!!!
That’s crazy! Yet someone will beat it!
These guys are really impressive and changed golf forever

way over a quarter mile
You're both stupid. Well, six other people as well.
@@Brett733
Quarter of a mile is 440 yards
I have a buddy who routinely hits it about 350. It's A LOT of fun to watch. I can't even imagine what seeing this live would be like.
"Oooooh, That's it! That's it! That's it......that's it! What is it?....what is it????🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve hit 454. Witnesses and measured. Of course the situation was basically the same. The planets were aligned, Slight down hill, 20 mph of wind.
40 mph wind? Must have toed it😊

The wind blowing in that direction don’t hurt either
Bro has rising impact 💀
All the tools available.. Club ball experience and wind. Perfect combination
I'd really hate to be that ball. Legendary shot.
Isn't this about 10,000 feet above where the airs thinner and the ball goes forever.
Legend has it the wind carried that ball an additional 185 yards
Imagine a par 5 and landing on the green on the first stroke lol
Gail force downwind...awesome.
FYI it might be a world record in flight but it is not a world record in distance. That record belongs to Amarillo Slim, funny and interesting story
Funny because I just got 513 yesterday but the cameras weren’t on at the time

That ball was HAMMERED!

That's an albatross maker.
Should be mentioned that he was hitting with 30mph wind behind his back.
As madonna said regarding nude pictures" so what"!;😊😊
What was his club speed?
Ball speed was 233mph, so his club head speed was likely over 150mph.
Sounds like a 30mph tailwind
No it was 14. Says in the official video
My hips hurting watching this guy swing😢😢😢
Im guessing the wind helped. lol
no it was blowing directly at him. Would've been over 700 if it was helping wind. I was there when he hit it

i thought it was caleb pressley at first
He carried 512 ..... but he had like 50mph wind at his back lol

Impressive. The other day I drove a ball 600+ feet. Never mind it was in a hurricane. “That’s it! That’s it! That’s it! Ha Ha. LOL!
That's my usual spot for a lil chip and putt
I don't believe that went 500+ yards.
It was literally measured
That tornado probably didn't help at all...

This dude has to wait for the people in front of him to get off the green when teeing off on a par 5 lol
How? Just how?
Let’s see his short game
He's a 3 or 4 HC. I am pretty sure he knows how to get around a course.
They’re going to start needing to make par 5’s 650+ yards long lol.
Ya mean while the wind was goin with him at about 30mph
He'd made a boogie.
😂😂😂😂😂😂

thats 17 football fields
1700+ yards equates very roughly to 17 football fields.. around a mile.. are you serious?
