Martin Kaymer smashing a driver

[bensteeley]

This guy is a good driver of the golf ball, he has decent length and good accuracy, his swing is different than most because he covers the ball and hits a fade, most pros do not cover the ball, they hang back on their rightside and draw the ball, Martin Kaymer has a bright future, he just needs to figure out how to play ANGC

[bensteeley]

@bensteeley i must correct myself sorry, his driving accuracy is down in the later part of the year before he tried to change his swing and draw the ball

[blotobeast]

Where is the driver-smashing I was promised?

[RetroJohnny1]

Got to say, I don't like the plane of his swing halfway back.

[apisanz]

I hit it 250-265 and I'm happy for it :D

[FullTimeHypocrite]

deutsche Gründlichkeit

[SeanRey55]

kaymer is a cheat is was proven that he cheated in his first major victory last year.

[sandersuperfollador]

smashing a driver ?? the guy only hit it 285 - 290 , that distance is shit . He has not the power game to be #3 in the world

[mizping19]

@sandersuperfollador dont have to be long to be good, you obviously know nothing

[Funmichi]

@mizping19 he is long! there are always other players longer but that dont mean he is not long.

[mizping19]

@Funmichi did i say he wasnt? no. im just stating the point that you dont have to be a long hitter to be a good player.

[Funmichi]

@mizping19 BUT he is long AND a good player!

[tadaa11]

@sandersuperfollador This Guy averages 296. Your beloved bubba watson averages 311, so thats maybe a one club difference. Tiger averages 290, so are you saying he shouldn't be number one either? You are just one of those guys who thinks he hits it far, but really you cant add, your lying to yourself, or you just don't understand how to calculate an accurate driving distance.

[sandersuperfollador]

@tadaa11 i know that i,m not far i hit the ball 270 and i am 20 , i see so many guys here on youtube and all of them hit 300. I dont lie myself unlike you idiot . I am sure you are one of those guys who thinks wo plays +2.2 handicap. get a life

[tadaa11]

@sandersuperfollador You didn't answer anything that I said about your irrational comment. What guys are you talking about? I would love to see them go up against him! Shit, I know guys that hit it over 300y and can't break 100 most days.

[brainysnaeha]

@tadaa11

I averages 290 yards and trying to break 80.

I'm a real deal.

[utahgs]

@tadaa11

It's about accuracy for these players, I agree. Tiger can't hit crazy far like he used to but he sure as hell would rather be on the fairway.

[OzBooger]

@utahgs i dunno about that, watching him at the skins event last year he was out driving camillo and paul casey by 30 yards or so, i'd say he just doesnt try to hit it as hard most of the time because of his recent accuracy problems

[f0cusen]

@tadaa11 Tiger hits it miles compared to Martin just look at the tigers clubheadspeed and compare it to kaymer's.

[tadaa11]

@f0cusen I agree that the stats aren't 100% correct. Club head speed is irrelevant because tiger isn't trying to maximize distance. Just look a his smash factor. High club head speed and very low smash factor, which correlates to a slow ball speed for how fast he swings the club. Tiger use to be third on tour averaging 310+, but recently he"s fallen into the 100s in driving distance. BTW, With a 130+ mph club head he should be driving it over 350 yards, so you're right about that.

[f0cusen]

@tadaa11 watch this video tiger woods ball speed is pretty high and his smash factor is pretty high too

/watch?v=kboNZ_nQ5w4

[tadaa11]

@f0cusen Yeah, that's a perfect smash factor. Over the years i guess hes brought down the club head speed but perfected his angle of attack. It use to be 136mph with the same ball speed. Tiger recently has had a huge drop, at least statistically, in his driving distance. I know that was from 2008-2009, when his driving distance was still pretty good. I wonder what his speeds are now.

[dschultz6072]

@tadaa11 bubba can hit it much further than kaymer. tiger's average is more like 300.

[tadaa11]

@dschultz6072 I quoted 2011 driving stats from the pga tour

[AMMrawCR]

@tadaa11 well tiger can't hit a fairway so that why his driving it down and he's been using 3w more often now 3 years ago he was probably right at 299 or 300 avg

[tadaa11]

@AMMrawCR Yeah i know. What does swing speed, ball speed, or distance matter if you cant hit the fairway. Those driving stats are helpful to cut out the hype. One downwind and one into the wind on holes that most will hit driver. Its also point to point.

[Poet1k]

@sandersuperfollador really? look at luke donald who averages about 275 yards and weighs less than 160 lbs.. i would put money on him against 99% of the field any day.

[MrLon2011]

@sandersuperfollador The PGA tour average is "86 so wgat are you talking about? Idiot

[WestBromSte]

@sandersuperfollador

moron.

[theEliteGolfer8]

Beautiful swing. Hope he can beat Luke Donald tomorrow.

[hpsauceOFWAR]

@theEliteGolfer8 He didn't btw.

[Fosterscloseclan]

is it me or does this look fake? :S

[wadwad22]

@Fosterscloseclan its you

[miso169]

@Fosterscloseclan i have the same feeling :D

[Stiversgolf]

@mrfitness2008 my swing coach taught me if the pin is in the middle hit it straight if it is on the right or left aim for the middle and draw or fade it and if the ball doesn't curve your still in the middle of the green worst case scenario

[jamesscott1001]

@Stiversgolf and what if you draw or fade it too much.

[mjyounie1]

@Stiversgolf Kaymer always fades the ball unless he absolutely has to hit a draw.e.g. round a tree. he says himself he finds it very hard to hit a draw. i think everyone does something different. there is no right or wrong way to play

[iFreak81]

@mrfitness2008 I agree don't shape it unless you have to

[golfmaniac007]

that is beautiful music.  (birds chirping in background) whooosh...twak!.... (repeat)

[mikehuntisbleeding]

@mrfitness2008 great advice

[mikehuntisbleeding]

@mrfitness2008 its as great a swing as there is

[MikePedersenGolfTips]

Beautiful golf swing. Pretty fast tempo, but he is totally in balance. Very impressive!

[Romthechamp]

Not long till the Kaymers NO.1! Will be one day maybe soon maybe not, But he will be a No.1 by the time he retires

[andrianc3g]

@mrfitness2008 I meant he IS awesome and WILL have his pga card for a long time, he is not going anywhere! And, yes I still think this guy is awesome! I would personally laugh at anyone who put Mr. Kaymer down! I'm on your side!

[MedicAlv1]

I like his swing but it always looks flat.

[bigyellowbirdie]

is he casting on his downswing?? im doing that too but i thought it was a horrible thing to do so im trying to stop it.

[sooner282002]

@bigyellowbirdie he is not theres no way he would hit it as far as he does if he casted the club, if you want to stop casting practice with an impact bag

[KomedyKluxKlan]

Major champion ;)

Another underrated European!

[silowhore]

@KomedyKluxKlan underrated by whom? i'm quite sure everyone in the professional golfing world knows exactly how good he is

[divotdigger247]

hes got a great swing, generates a lot of lag in the downsing, great hands!

[andrianc3g]

Yeah, this guys isn't going anywhere for while. He deserves his higher seeding in the upcoming match play.

[bogeyhitter25]

Great video quality. Great swing.

[kukke25]

love his setup

[namizzean]

dam nice torque in the shaft at the start of the downswing. a very powerful player indeed

[GscDieSaarnerCrew]

best swing I've ever seen........great player!
