TheNYgolfer So you’re saying because it’s long drive means you shouldn’t respect the players while they’re trying to focus? The guy was yelling at contact with the ball, it’d mess me up.
A priest once missed a service to go golfing. Peter asked God, "Are you going to punish him?" God just smiled as the priest got a hole in one. Peter looked at God as if to say, WTF!? God asked Peter, "Who is he going to tell?"
Really wish they would put these videos in order. Kinds sucks trying to hop around on the playlist instead being able to just watch every video from start to finish from the being of the series to the finals.
plusnightlife Our Operations team used a Laser Link to shoot a Flag with a Crystal back on the tee box to find the 300 yard mark. Then we used a 100' tape measure to mark the rest of the grid. No matter what the yardage is, Longest ball on any grid wins.
Why are these long drive contests always on a well elevated tee? This tee box must be 10 stories high. These 400 yard drives are probably 330-350 yard drives from a level/normal tee which is still pretty damn good. But its not 400.
+Shakester71 They also come down steeper in a setup like this, so there's less roll. There were a few balls that just stopped dead, something that normally wouldn't happen.
No these drivers are allowed on the PGA Tour, pros don't use them cause the longer you get the less consistent your drives get. Pros are all about hitting it down the middle every time not, hitting the fairway 5/13 holes.
No matter how you look at it, its still a big advantage. I've played courses where the tee wasn't even as elevated as this and I average 280 with my driver with about 270 yards of carry. I've busted 320 on those elevated tees. The higher the ball is in the air, the more its going to carry.
Very American, only things missing are explosions as the ball flies down there, helicopters, Air Force Jets flying, Navy seals parachuting on top of the golf ball.
Just curious, since they were hitting from a elevated tee, seen the other long drive events where they hit the balls from a level tee, did that make it any easier to gain MORE yards on their shots, really mthink that they had a much BIGGER advantage being able to hit their tee shots from that elevated position........
Everyone saying they are elevated so hit it further. There's countless videos of Joe hitting it 430 + on a flat range or course so when any of you can hit it over 330+ your opinion might matter even tho they will still carry you by 100 yards 😂
Is it me or is the landing zone not straight compared where they are swinging from? Like a ball landing on the left would be farther than a ball landing on the right, purely based on the lines.
Yeah, but everyone is hitting from the same height. And to be honest, with their ball's descent angle, it only adds about 10 yards. You still gotta be able to swing 20mph faster that Tiger woods if you want to even have a chance at making it to the Worlds championship.
this kind of range is so inaccurate. not only is it curved and awkward but the platform is elevated into the skies. can't belive they could't find a better place for a final.
@@nysports5085 Most of these guys are single digit Handicappers, and a few are scratch. And no, they are not illegal drivers. The heads conform to the USGA rules, and the length of the shafts are maxed at 48". I was a LDer in Hawaii so I know what I'm talking about.
@@nysports5085 Nice! I averaged about 20y longer than the top PGA pros average drives, and the guys swinging 145mph were averaging about 40y longer than me. I remember feeling proud hitting it 340 into a slight headwind, only to get absolutely slaughtered by almost 50 yards by the following LDer. I chucked my 3 drivers in my car and drove home. I only recently broke the last LD head a month ago, so I can now forget all that crap lol.
I wish they were forced to use PGA legal equipment only, to really see their relative advantage and spin/speeds vs PGA tour guys. The longer shafts and certain factors are good for entertainment but kinda takes away from the real amazement of how hard these guys hit.
Obviously they need to be elevated if possible to allow for better viewing etc. And really it doesn't matter they are all playing on the same field. If however you are just trying to imagine how far ahead of you they really are then yes I think they set it up to get big numbers over 400+ to make it more sensational but what sport doesn't. Believe me they would blow by 99% of the people who believe they are big hitters because they do this everyday.
@@casualguy3938 tiger woods is playing the actual sport, not this rubbish. it's a stupid competition for less talented "athletes". "oh, you can't catch a pass? no worries, show everyone how fast you can run 60 yards then."
@@jaspergan You do know that many LD competitors are single digit handicappers right? Not only that, a few are scratch and will give any non-pro a run for their money, while making them look like pansies in the process. My driver SS was 134mph which was faster than almost every pro at the time I competed, and played off 9. I had a great short game, but accuracy suffered a ton. And every better player I played with enjoyed seeing me hit clubs 2-3 under what they were hitting for the same distance. Grumpy short-hitters who had their egos bruised always found something to bitch about, only online though. Watching someone smash drives approaching 400y in real life, in real time conditions was kind of like going to Disneyland as a toddler. Please don't tell me you bitched about Disneyland too.
Every time I play from an elevated tee, I can hit a massive shot......... oh, wait, EVERYONE DOES......... why not play on level ground????? that way there will be a true reflection of the distance
Except the drivers are 48”, the maximum legal length, crazy stiff and low-lofted. And these guys train for this, steroids or not, it’s their life. Just enjoy the show ffs
@@georgeslupski5987 dude its simple physics that a longer club will generate more club head speed. Take a normal club and grip it half way down the shaft. You think you'll be able to swing it anywhere near as fast?
They should put the contestants down in a hole maybe 50 feet below ground level where the distances are marked and see how many people show up for that even. "Joe Hooker just slammed one 270!" (as 5 spectators clap in the stands).
Drive for dough, put for no. Actually this competition is questionable. If they are interested in distance, who cares if they go wide left or right? Why not count everything and just measure the linear distance? All shots should count, even if they are big hooks or big slices. Also what's with the elevated tee box?

to be fair, he said RARELY, and then he actually said if he hits 10 OB, then 9 are right, so that was the one that went left...

There are a few things for how to play golf better
Do exercises
Position your feet correctly
Learn the best body posture
(I learned these and why they work on Gavs golf tactic site )
Every time I stumble onto things like this I seriously ask myself what I'm doing with my life. Seriously.
RIght here, right now I feel you so much.
Haha

I looked it up

“That’s two thus far shooter” “oh you can count, good for you” “and you can count, on me, waiting for you in the parking lot
lmao happy gilmore
"He never hits OB to the left."
-very next ball
I love watching the super seniors... would love to see more of them
Got to have the sponsors names ALL OVER the target area.
How else can you afford to pay a guy 250000 for a day's wage?
That guy yelling in everyone's backswing should have been ejected.
Shoulda given him an air horn!
Andy B
You will not make this drive...ya’ jackass!
Long drive idiot, get loud or go home
Andy B- Sadder than your ill informed comment is that there are so far 197 others that agree with you. This is long drive!
TheNYgolfer So you’re saying because it’s long drive means you shouldn’t respect the players while they’re trying to focus? The guy was yelling at contact with the ball, it’d mess me up.
I love how un organized this event was. Everyone was wondering how far he hit it and nobody made the effort to find out the distance 😂
He hit that .1 ball left
lmao i just thought that
A priest once missed a service to go golfing.
Peter asked God, "Are you going to punish him?"
God just smiled as the priest got a hole in one.
Peter looked at God as if to say, WTF!?
God asked Peter, "Who is he going to tell?"
@James Fondren i felt that damn that's a good story
nordhorny let people believe what they want man
Damn I really thought this vid was gonna be some type of super endurance racing
fun fact : you didn’t search for this video
RUclips recommendations you did it again
Total Package and Blonde Bomber? Thought this was the womens championship
ewwtvbeyjd
That distance was only achieve as they were about 40ft up on the stadium. Love to see them do that on the level.
He did 450 yards plus on the flat nugget
The fucker hit it 427. Good God.
they are elevated too though
At 427...does it really matter?
Yeah, but couldn't do it on a golf course.
Some of them actually have hit it over 400 non-elavated :)
Dayum!
too many ads on the field i can't see the ball
but where's Happy Gilmore
Prepping for the subway footlong world long driver championship
@dyy Fethiiyhn It was a joke, sport.
He'll see you guys there.... PBBBBTTTTT
A little humorous that they are all dressed in Golf gear. Other than golf shoes sweats will do :)
Me: Pumped about hitting a 270 drive. These guys: “Eh” after a 380+ drive
10:20 - that sound... you know he's hit it as clean as you possibly can...
Really wish they would put these videos in order. Kinds sucks trying to hop around on the playlist instead being able to just watch every video from start to finish from the being of the series to the finals.
my problem is that I stand to close to the ball, after I hit it
The psychic abilities these announcers have is incredible. They predict the outcome before the ball lands. How do they do it? 🤔
Maybe they comment from studio and got video delay
How do they get these measurements if they're hitting from an elevated platform?
plusnightlife Our Operations team used a Laser Link to shoot a Flag with a Crystal back on the tee box to find the 300 yard mark. Then we used a 100' tape measure to mark the rest of the grid. No matter what the yardage is, Longest ball on any grid wins.

No these drivers are allowed on the PGA Tour, pros don't use them cause the longer you get the less consistent your drives get. Pros are all about hitting it down the middle every time not, hitting the fairway 5/13 holes.
It is a custom diver head, but that does not mean it is illegal.

Heather Lemaster "flew it about 310" lol what's the weather like at that elevation I wonder
Top women in longdrive fly it 310+ on level ground
what if they hit on level group instead of an elevated teebox
5 yds, maybe 10. They hit it 415 on flat
Then one of them still wins
Very American, only things missing are explosions as the ball flies down there, helicopters, Air Force Jets flying, Navy seals parachuting on top of the golf ball.
I ate 500mg of edibles and this is where I end up on my Saturday night
wheres Happy Gilmore when u need him
90% of these dudes look like Chads.....
Of the two?
on his first shot "he never breaks to the left, if he hit 10 OB's 9.9 would be to the right" very next ball OB left. commentators curse right there
Hot blackjack, hot vision, police dog stem
I hit a 430 yard drive once, but my witnesses were Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. 0_0
+Matt Crider I hit a 900 yard drive from a mountain top to a lake. Basically the same as this competition.
Ha
True story i was There .....im 🎅
i once hit a 195... but i was in highschool and nobody was measuring...
UnknownMaster21 wooden shaft? When was that? 1950s?

I once hit a ball over 400 yards. It only took me 3 shots.
Why are they on a raised platform? I guess they just do it so it looks cooler.
Put them on the ground instead of up in the air hitting off a box then see if they can still hit these distances.
They can...
Everyone saying they are elevated so hit it further. There's countless videos of Joe hitting it 430 + on a flat range or course so when any of you can hit it over 330+ your opinion might matter even tho they will still carry you by 100 yards 😂

Is it me or is the landing zone not straight compared where they are swinging from? Like a ball landing on the left would be farther than a ball landing on the right, purely based on the lines.
Shouldn't this be measured from level ground instead of from the top of a mountain?
Agreed
Yeah, but everyone is hitting from the same height. And to be honest, with their ball's descent angle, it only adds about 10 yards. You still gotta be able to swing 20mph faster that Tiger woods if you want to even have a chance at making it to the Worlds championship.
How much do they gain by hitting off the elevated platform?
My goodness. My drives have never went beyond 270 yards.. i wish i can drive like these guys. 350+ yard drives would definitely help out with par 5
this kind of range is so inaccurate. not only is it curved and awkward but the platform is elevated into the skies. can't belive they could't find a better place for a final.
Yeah, great, but...how far was Millers fifth shot?
"If he hits 10 OB, 9.9 of them are to the right"
Next shot, pulls it left.
Bob Pappa doing long drives? Very strange. Used to him calling the Gmen!

@James Fondren golf requires an IQ higher than 85.
They also use illegal drivers

yeah put me on the top of the empire state and I hit 500 yards too..
the yardages were adjusted for slope
Spoiler:He now won 2015 WLDC as well!
Has anyone hit the Wilson triton? How is it?

I can hit it 420 yards easy with a couple extra swings.
When these guys line up a putt do they just crush it as hard as they can?
What if they are using an illegal driver? plus they are like a few feet above
Obviously they need to be elevated if possible to allow for better viewing etc. And really it doesn't matter they are all playing on the same field.

Isn't that hight difference between teebox and green against the long drive rules?
No, everyone is hitting from the same height. If you are lucky you will get a wind shift during your hit.
This is the birth child of the wwe and nascar three way with golf.
When these guys hit a bad shot, it's reeeeeeaaaaalllly bad!
