We Hit The LONGEST Drive In Golf HISTORY! (WORLD RECORD)

[@travisrobison3457]

Absolutely hammered!!!! Man Kyle can just completely demolish that ball.... And what is more crazy is just how straight that guy can hit. Truely awesome.

[@goutfromfriedokra]

u know data can be faked...I was in the long drive contestant some of the balls are HOT.

[@James_Edward59]

Even if his is which I doubt it is because it was verified for the WR and even if it was, he can obviously hit a ball very very far.

[@MHeidtke]

@@goutfromfriedokra bro jealous

[@goutfromfriedokra]

@@MHeidtke ok naive man, anybody can fake the data..

[@garrett8454]

11:10 “only went 540 yards” LOL

[@ty007webb6]

Before he hits the shot, I like how Kyle is on the course talking through all the variables. It reminded me of Evil Knievel before a stunt. Great job, BTW.

[@neildorrity9507]

Congratulations Kyle, this is insanity. There's a reason why you're a world record holder for LD & hold many titles. This record will hold for years to come. Wow 🫡

[@chase_hanna]

Wow that's cool using walkie talkies to follow your drives. They use Dixie cups on strings to tell me my drive distance

[@PhilMilkenson]

Did they take the curvature of earth into account 🤣

[@pickaname29]

​@@PhilMilkensoncurvature? On a flat earth? Cmon man!

[@bermchasin]

Thats cool using Dixie cups on strings. They just write the distance on a Post-it note and hold it up to tell me my drive distance

[@mikestephens5346]

I usually use carrier pigeons to measure my drives.

[@BigInjun05]

Crazy that i need 600 yards of string to communicate

[@sn1pescity528]

Unbelievably accurate, so many of them so perfect one after the other. Built different 💪🏼

[@johnschneider3082]

Yeah , that’s nuts! 579+ to be honest,that’s like 390 yards further than I can go! I’d have to go Driver,3 wood,3 wood,54 wedge to get that far. And that’s getting all my strikes perfectly.

[@christopherwharton6022]

I can get that with driver, 3w, gw. All perfect strikes.

[@isaacrascon5981]

They make a little blue pill for that

[@Go_Fore_Golf]

Like the blog style, good to see new content from you!

[@Jseakin81]

Congratulations man!! Awesome work!

[@timothypollock8358]

Well, it happened to the absolutely right guy, the incredible Kyle Berkshire! I got to say that there are some pretty funky looking long drive swings out there but Kyle's is pure poetry and would not look out of place on any pro golf tour in the world so there's something to be said about that unbelievably powerful and very esthetically pleasing motion having been the one to accomplish such a prodigious feat. Those launches started to look like they needed to file a flight plan with Space X :-) Awesome. Cheers.

[@johnlepley9834]

Congratulations Kyle,,,,,,That's an Amazing Achievement

[@breadfan262]

I’m impressed for sure, but even I’ve hit balls downwind in dry conditions that go up to 400 with my 110 club head speed.

[@andywydo3441]

Great stuff. Enjoyed watching Kyle.

[@broad100]

You are awesome Kyle! Congratulations at being the longest hitter on the planet.

[@c1mat1]

Congratulations Kyle! That was a bomb!!!

[@corygetchell849]

Simply amazing! Great work!

[@travismarcotte5133]

Congrats Kyle!! That is so badass! You are crushing that ball! Keep it up , I have no doubt you can get over 600 with the right conditions! Great man for the sport and an inspiration to all bro!!! Good luck!!

[@fenixrising75]

It's a long drive all right, but it should also be noted that this course is 2,270 yards above sea level. The ball travels further through thinner air.

[@Sandul666]

Well yeah and it had 40 mph gusts the help push it, they weren't hiding any facts that they were maximizing ball flight. I agree though I think there should be a conditions check on a record like this.

[@AxeGodMusic]

Yeah may as well have used a golf club to pack a cannon and call it 4 miles.

[@hunter_69_69]

Congrats on the record! The farthest drive I've heard of before this one, other than those with cart path assistance, was 575 by Ryan Winther, some time back in the early 2010's. Keep the records coming Kyle👍 You got 600 in ya!

[@DanishKhan-zt3pv]

Congratulations Kyle . You da man

[@ryanwarner7950]

At 233 ball speed with shots on target, no doubt records will be broken. Nice job Kyle. Can't wait for next summer!

[@daltonhayhurst8501]

a record like this makes me think of a 100 yard dash while one runners gets to run downhill

[@bertlamboy3414]

Outstanding Kyle, keep it going

[@williambryant4228]

Outstanding. Congrats, you deserve it.

[@Blupa.]

So does that mean if I chip a ball into a tornado and it lands 800 yards away I’m a record holder?

[@darrenmcintosh326]

If you survive

[@jonneritari7828]

Yes

I’m about to open the world’s longest driving range. 625 yards long with a view like no other. Keep your eyes on Kalispell Montana.

[@dallasfullern7663]

Wow bro congratulations Kyle your an absolute animal can’t wait to see you hit 600 man

[@leftydaniel-moeswingevolut2332]

Cool shot still Mike Austins 515 is mighty impressive considering it was in a tournament one shot chance with persimmon wood.

[@anyexpat]

Well his 515 never happened as Google Maps shows the hole and he only had 440 yards of room. It was always nonsense.

[@OjaiBonsai]

In disc golf they go out in the desert with super wind. There has to be some regulations and I mean wind, altitude, yadayada. I play a course in Goleta Ca on a par 5 I’ve seen a ball roll within 60 yards because of a cart path and the next hole the ball rolls back within 60 yds of the tee.

[@Cryptidswildfoodoutdoors]

Only the two greatest sports can have defined sub-genres all to themselves: Golf and long drive, and basketball and dunking. Well done Kyle. Absolutely crushed it!

[@t-medalexander7295]

Absolutely incredible

[@wratower7409]

UNBELIEVABLE! !!! We absolutely want see if you can go 600+

[@markcrowell2727]

You da man, Kyle!!!! 600 is in the bag next summer!!!

[@Wayneraltman]

Seriously, it could not happen to a nicer guy. I Met Kyle at the Pete Dye course in French Lick, Indiana and he was such a good dude. just sat around answering questions and taking pictures with anyone who asked.

[@Mowers11]

I just love this new format you came up with. More interesting than your golf match con tent. Although I still like you doing golf match content. This is just much more fun. Congratulations on a new world record.

[@timgeary-hp7pv]

That was an absolute monster of a drive from the reigning world long drive champion Kyle Berkshire

[@kathybaxter8898]

But don’t forget ,Mike Austin did it with a wooden headed driver and Balata golf ball. No comparison to modern equipment, beat his drive with the same equipment , not gonna be easy I guarantee!!

[@ParaRob]

Was Mike Austin's shot on video? I'm not doubting you. I'm genuinely curious about how they measured that distance, what the ball actually carried, what the ball speed was, how much distance did he get on the roll out, and so on. I'd really like to see how he did it instead of just trusting stories. I don't doubt he hit a mammoth drive, but when you say, "Mike Austin did it," are you saying his shot went 579 or that he hit over 500 yards? If Kyle were to use a wooden head driver, he'd splinter it in just a few shots. Those clubs weren't meant to withhold the type of ball speed Kyle has. If it isn't on video, the shot can't really be referenced unless he had professionals out there tracking the ball and measuring the distance.

[@WaywardAnalysis]

@@ParaRob Agreed, just like those 550 foot drives from Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle, where the source of where it landed was a young boy saying "it hit here"....

[@StoneyMaloney1]

@@ParaRob No, not on video that I know of, it was in 1974 at a seniors tournament. Mike Austin was very tall, had 27mph wind behind him, and if you watch other video of his swing, it was very before-it’s-time, in terms of how it compares to then and now. Crazy he did that in his 60s, though.

[@svenskgolftelevision6506]

Kyle, that was a privilige to watch, greetings from Sweden

Kyle will never be forgotten

[@X2freeride]

Love it. Lets go for 630-650 this spring.

[@erichansen3641]

I've seen Kyle record a 575-580 yard drive posted to KZbin. That is 3 times the distance of the average golf Drive off the tee. Most golfers Drive the ball between 175 to 200 yards. Just think, Kyle hits it more than twice the distance of the PGA Tour average Drive. It would take 2 Drives of 290 yards to Drive the ball a little past Kyle's Drive of 575 to 580 yards which was likely hit at high elevation where the air is thin I'm guessing? Likely around 6800 feet above sea level for this kind of record.

[@mtnvalley9298]

I love golf and I love this record!! Well done man!! You seem to be a great custodian for such a cool feat. Thanks for posting and good luck keeping the record!!

[@chrisbarker8513]

Just unbelievable

[@MAGAEATSBOOGERS1]

In 1989 I hit a ball over 800 during Hurricane Hugo. Piece of cake.

[@keviebabyx5433]

Sorry boys not even close. During regulation paly of the Texas Open at Oak Hills CC sometime in the 80's on hole number three a drive was measured somewhere in the 725 yard mark. The pro had to hit a three wood pitching wedge to get back to the par four green. The caveat being there is a cement drainage ditch running down the property line of the course that the ball had entered. Local rule is it is a manmade hazard and therefore a no penalty drop is allowed and the ball is in play. There is a slight downhill grade running the direction of the hole. Miraculously after several huge bounces forward the ball stayed in the ditch and came to rest, yes, well over 700yads from the tee.

[@21wilsondustin]

This is just freaking insane. My longest carry is 326 and I was over the moon. This man is just casually carried 450+

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

youve hit 326 as many times as Elton John has fancied women

[@ParaRob]

I'm pretty sure they said he carried 500 in this video. That's is absolutely insane. You've got that right. 326 is a heck of a carry tho. You had every right to be over the moon! What really amazed me was the consistency of which he was hitting the balls straight. If I tried to swing my driver the way he does, no one around me is safe unless they're standing right in front of me. Lol!

[@ΜΟΛΩΝΛΑΒΕ_1776]

Awesome!

[@damianplante4580]

Awesome kyle love watching you break record's! Makes me push my speed training more and more at 150 trying for more

[@trafyknits9222]

Many years ago, I met Jason Zuback while he was practicing drives. He said he swung so hard that he had stress fractures in many of his bones. He also appeared to be heavily into steroids. Kyle is actually far more supple and flexible, IMHO. Putting one's body through this sort of stress takes a toll. I hope Kyle takes care of himself.

[@MrMuthachugga]

I wonder what the thought process was to decide on a Titleist ProV ball. I guess I just thought the soft cover would spin too much.

[@KarolPriscilla]

Absolutely incredible!!!

[@bobsofia68]

233mph ball speed!! That's a solid 100mph faster than my on course drives!! 600yds is happening for Kyle ... only a matter of time.

[@chrisyun8229]

Does the elevation have to be the same at tee box and end spot? If not someone could easily beat it hitting off a canyon.

[@anyexpat]

Not really a record. You cannot turn up to a made up golf hole with some pals and claim a world record. World records are set in tournaments, longdrive events, verified independently. I might have hit a drive 580 down a mountain, is that a world record? Like Thor lifting 501kgs in his home gym, that is nice but it is no record.

[@masonvanbibber7565]

Good stuff bro. Watching this live was insane

[@evankirk97]

hell yeah brooooo

[@TheOnlyStonemason]

Mike Austin hit his drive with a persimmon wood head steel shafted 43.5 inch driver with a balata ball. With that equipment, I doubt anyone would ever top it.

[@baxoutthebox5682]

I hope you’re using machine learning algo’s in all of this because it could turn what is a bunch of number crunching and approximation of variables into high confidence statistical outputs. If you don’t have one, buy a computer with a top of the line GPU, CPU, and RAM expansion and get to learning. Use publicly available info on courses though you’ll hit limits if you’re breaking the course boundaries and will have to create your own mapping of each course. Use publicly available weather info to see what the expected conditions are at each course. You could find the best place to hit it from in the world.

[@kcry1]

Wow, hero!

[@MikeHawkScales]

Okay so using wind and hitting downhill?

[@cantaloupeme]

You needed the Hammer Drive and needed to yell "booooom" that gives you 200yds alone!!!. All kidding aside, that was sick.

Hit one on the surfcae of Antartica and it will go 1000 yards on ice!

[@dannyvernon1098]

Kyle hits it a long ways, no doubt. I'd literally take half this distance for my average driver distance and be very happy. With that said, did anyone catch the guy at about the 13:10 mark say "miserable golf conditions" to try and set the record? Huh? Miserable golf conditions would be at sea level with the wind in your face, not 2000+ feet above sea level with a 25mph wind at your back. I had to play it back 3-4 times to make sure that's what he said. Scratching head on that comment.

[@syreplays5079]

He said it was miserable golf conditions, but perfect conditions to set a record. To play in those conditions is miserable is all he was saying.

[@ParaRob]

​@@darrenmcintosh326I don't know too many driving ranges that do have a 300 yard marker I've seen a bunch with 30 foot nets at the back about 275 yards away. If the ball is still 30 feet in the air at 275, I guess it's safe to say it was hit 300. I've seen people hit it over that net and my jaw dropped

[@christopherwharton6022]

With your distance, the rotation of the earth comes into play. I think if you hit sue West the earth will rotate under the ball a little and help you out.

[@baxoutthebox5682]

No, the coriolis effect is negligible at 500 yards. At 1,000 yards the shift is 3-4 inches, he’s not that controlled.

[@baxoutthebox5682]

No, the coriolis effect is negligible at 500 yards. You’re talking a shift of 4-5 inches for a sniper rifle 1,000 yards out. It’s not a precision game here.
