Loooooong Drive! Pt.9

[460cc]

going from part3 to part 9, your swing looks alot smoother... part 3 has you dropping your hands then initiate, this vid has your hands already dropped so now you are just ready to rip

[rokkit3]

@460cc - thanks for the extra help! good eyes!

[colew001]

Huge guy, long driver, low loft, plus he's taking a HUGE swing. This doesn't impress me.

[rokkit3]

@colew001 - if 5'6" and 180 is HUGE, then i guess you're right

[imthesonofjorel]

220 yards.....tops.....

[rokkit3]

@imthesonofjorel - lol

[silowhore]

no offence meant at all, but you could hit it a lot more consistently if you ironed out a few things in that swing. ala getting over the ball a hair more and not allowing your shoulders to rise and flatten during the shot

[silowhore]

@silowhore actually after slow mo, the initial position is okay but pause as you start your downswing, you have came out of position completely and stood up in the shot, your right foot is off the ground before you're even half way to the ball. try to stay in your original position for longer and let your right leg fight against the turning . just turn your chest and hips to the target and leave the arms very passive, keeping your angle over the ball is very important in a one plane swing

[rokkit3]

@silowhore - yep... working on that...

[rokkit3]

@silowhore - none taken... thanks for the pointers

[redredef]

You guys should look up The Remax Long Drive Challenge if you don't believe this guy. There are guys that can hit it past 500 yds

[hockeysupasta4]

damn. you got bad technique your nearly off the ground at impact but that ball was crushed and straight as an arrow

[UGADTdawg71]

Wow, looks like a pro long drive swing for sure.. You ever thought about competing in LD?

[rokkit3]

@UGADTdawg71 - thanks... yes, i did in 2010 for the first time. 395 was my biggest in the books. going to do it in 2012...

[mikepownzall]

Nice swing reminds me of some long drive guy Zuback who?

[rokkit3]

@mikepownzall - lol!

[HSOPPharmD]

that driving range looks SWEET!

[calculus89]

Ah ha ha. No elevation on the ball and nice fade. Might wanna use less arms and more rotation. A little less out to in on that swing plane would be of much benefit as well.

[SuperJaspy]

careful might just hit a car in the backround there! nice

[rokkit3]

@SuperJaspy - lol. thanks!!!

[bendrumsx]

i dont think your club is long enough............just kidding..

[rokkit3]

@bendrumsx - lol... believe it or not, there are longer ones out there!

[helenathena]

your lucky ur moved back stop moving your head and youll get your swing better

[JungHwan1991]

Some question man if u really hit 350+ answer plz do u put any strength in ur left arm on stance position to straighten ur left arm through back and finish?

[rokkit3]

@JungHwan1991 - i do not concentrate on strength or my left arm... it is everything all in one. technique is what it is all about.

[LondonNYLA]

Nicely done. Are you thinking about competing in any ALDA events or maybe even the REMAX?

[rokkit3]

@LondonNYLA - Thank you. just competed in a local qualifier on 5/29 at Warner Springs- my best of 6 was 395. i am still waiting to hear back to see how i placed... my goal is to get to the Finals!!!

[kidwhogolfs]

does that driver have any length added to it it looks a little longer than a reg. one

[rokkit3]

@kidwhogolfs - yes. standard is 45" this is 48"

[connor555444]

great hitter hate how people slaging you off lol

[toddhuma]

he tried to murder that thing look at his face hit far but can u play with your irons any one can drive irons are the tough thing like long drivers they cant play there irons at all

[drummerkingmike]

Why do so many people have to jump to a negative when they see someone excelling at something on youtube? Cant you just appreciate the great drive and say something nice - not instinctively try to find a weakness in his game? If you ask me it shows a real jealosy and insecurity about your own game...

[rokkit3]

@toddhuma - my handicap is a 7.5 for whatever that matters... handicap used to be 3 but i dont play enough anymore.

[malahideboy]

very nice i have to say

a lot better den the one in d first video

[rokkit3]

thank you!

[rokkit3]

@malahideboy - thanks

[sandygolfer66]

is that a black winter glove?

[rokkit3]

nope, a black summer glove ;)

[rokkit3]

@sandygolfer66 - black, but not winter

[speakswell]

u must have some big ass muscles!!!!

[rokkit3]

yes, my ass muscles are pretty big... lol

thank you!

[rokkit3]

@speakswell - lol

[golfstud2024]

i would get you by 30! and that is a promise!

[rokkit3]

good luck. when you wake up from your little dream, let me know.

[golfstud2024]

you would be surprised on how far I can hit it bro.

[ryebuckyou]

hey rokkit3.......bad ass swing.....looks good......you look like you close your stance at setup.......is that something your trying to do? if so, whats your ballflight like?

[rokkit3]

Thank you. I have a slightly closed stance, but my front foot is slightly open. It helps me get that high draw spin with that 6 degree face!

[stevieray09]

370 down the middle!

[rokkit3]

Very nice. I can't hit those huge-ass heads. They are too intimidating to me!

[AdamBorycki]

nice I use the Alpha RX 460 with a Harrison starplus shaft.
