John Daly Hits it Long!

[1019079]

I don't get why more people don't swing like him. I shoulda started swinging like that i long time ago. I'm past parallel now and hitting farther and on target.

[admc8]

@1019079 i used to swing like that and switched to a "normal" swing people call. I think i might have played better golf some days but just not as consistant.

[1019079]

@admc8 Its probably because i have a slice to my swing that it goes straighter.

[schu8080]

ahaha i was there too

[bigmouth285]

"that's how I hit" that made me laugh 

[ElGatoLoco698]

I failed to see why this is funny.

[gredangeo]

Christ, the clubhead is pretty much looking at the ball at 0:06. That's where he gets the power from at his size.

[Mrdickinyourass]

Golf isn't even a real sport lulz

[EpicGamer249]

no but giving your mom one is

[Mrdickinyourass]

@EpicGamer249 that didn't even make sense faggot.

[taylormadeburner01]

Way to go

[ryanmj25]

I'm 19 and I've been playing golf my entire life. It's all I do. No weights, running, i pretty much sit on my ass all day.....but i drive the ball 300-330

[mcgune]

would you say distance comes through experience then? As in do you begin to hit it further when your body's swing rhythm and speed improves?

[ryanmj25]

in a way yes, some people are just natural long hitter and some are naturally short hitters. it doesn't matter how long you hit the ball, its the score at the end that counts

[MKotthoff]

I completely agree with that last part. I am 13 and I hit the ball about 265 conistently. My swing speed is only 95 mph. I think the power comes from a well timed release and consistant contact. But, like you said, the number at the bottom of the scorecard is the only thing that really matters.

[mcgune]

It's wierd i hit my 3 wood further than my cobra driver. It must be to do with my ball striking and launch angle.

Also how agressively do you swing with your hips?

[MKotthoff]

First, do you hit a low shot with your driver? That's one power robbing flaw that many players have. If not,check you're spin rate (at a Golf Galaxy). If you are hitting slices or hooks a lot this could be the issue. Thius is because the more spin you have on the ball the more it will deviate from its line. It also reduces the roll you will recieve.

Last question, I am not quite sure what you are asking, but just work on your ball striking by keeping the lower body quiet and swinging smoothly.

[MKotthoff]

But also, don't waste your time if you can't hit driver, don't worry about it. My dad can't and so he hits his 3-wood right down the middle. Just hit your straight club. Don't have clubs that go the same distance either. Instead, make a 4 wedge system for example you could make wedge system of a 46* pitching wedge, 50* gap wedge, 54* sand wedge, and a 58* wedge. If you still have room add a 62* wedge. These would help your game more than an inconsistent driver.

[MKotthoff]

I get what you're saying about the hips now. I rotate & put about 75% of my weight on my back leg and turn through the swing. Make sure that its a smooth motion and a "jerky" motion. Also, I can't preach this enough, your drive is only setting you up for your approach shot into the green and accuracy is key. Distance is gravy. I don't know about you but I'd much rather hit a 160 yard 7 iron into the green from the fairway than (try) hit a 140 yard 9 iron shot out of the 3 and a half inch rough.

[JimmyHopkins2]

not too agressive...keep rhythym, thats more effective than attacking the ball, which ive learned the hard way gets you..fuckin NOWHERE.

[qbb01]

true. its all about lag and rotating your hips

[bails1080]

techy duece, learn to play mate instead of talking crap, are you a player or a 25 handicapper that should be a salesperson cause your comments scream golfing turd! 5 wedges? you must have awesome shot making skills, distance is gravy please. Practice and stop talking shit.

[mxlevi456]

Why is everyone thumbs-downing people who are young and can hit 200+? Lol, I'm 14 and not that tall and I can hit the ball almost 180 every time.

[rgmmiller93]

Why everyone is putting thumbs down, is because they honestly could not care how far Joe Bloggs hits it as it has nothing of relative importance and most people lie when saying how far they hit it. Why do people feel the need to say they hit it 280 yards when they were 12 (i would bet that most could not hit it further thand 210), do they think it is cool to try and boast? Concentrate on your second shot with your irons, plus your wedge and putting game more.

[mxlevi456]

Someone help me on how it is so funny? I don't get it..

[mcgune]

I have difficulty hitting my driver. I can only really get it around 220 when I hit a decent one. It's annoying though because In hit a 19 degree rescue (hybrid) club about the same distance as my driver, plus it's so much mkore accurate, I'm nearly always in the fairway. My 3 wood also goes about as far as my driver, maybe about 10 yards - 5 yards shorter.

It is very frustrating because I have a cobra speed driver as well which should make driving the ball further a bit easier.

[MKotthoff]

My suggestion to you is take out the driver and the fairway wood. what's the point of having 3 clubs that go that go the same distance? It just doesn't make sense. So take those clubs out and and some more wedges. That's where you will drop strokes.

[dandydude123xyz]

for second shots to par fives what are you going to go in with,a long iron which you cant reach it with. you will have no fairway wood think

[MKotthoff]

If your driver, your hybrid and your fairway wood all go the same distance, you're not making it anyways. If you're in that you should lay up to a full wedge distance and try to make a birdie. Don't need to go for it unless you know you can make it.

[TheOneAndOnlycE]

I´m 19 and currently working on becoming a golf long drive competitor. I hit it 360+ yards.

[zkool5]

I've hit a 400 + yard drive before... using the cart path though :-)

[rednech23]

Im 15 and i have hit a drive 270m which is pretty much 300 yards. Average though would be about 250m around 275 yards.

[kody1234567891011]

bull fucking shit

[martinchevrier]

Golf and distance is just like fishing and size to people. Or they have no clue or they deliberately exaggerate. Watch "eatgolf + tiger woods" with max volume and you will get a glimpse of what a 280 yards average drive should feel like. Obviously less then 1% of poeple actualy witnessed such a drive in their life... Plus Tiger Woods gets a higher launch angle with his 4 iron that most people do with their 8 iron...

[tigerflea]

golfs about the short game

[moberg11]

my longest drive is around 310 or 315 but i average about 275.

[MattJones1418]

no u don't

[stevieray09]

how old are you?

[UzeTheYuzie]

why is 315 imposable

thats prety advrage for someones drive

[mobot11]

im 16 ive been playing since i was 8 and i started on my varsity golf team and i weightlift so yes i do average around 270

[stevieray09]

THNX

[ZeppelinFreak13]

ill be honest i suck completely at golf im 13 average drivr 40-160 yrds i just dont hit it right i got a baseball swing!!!!!but my 17 year old brother can smash em 270-280 yrds and we go golfin 1 time a year

[DavidSomerset007]

You guys are a bunch of liars when you talk about your distance. You take the longest drive of your life (wind at back, hit it perfect, got a good roll, raccoon carried it 20 extra yards) and round up to the nearest ten yards, and say that is your average. That is why most people underclub and hit 10-15 yards short of the green on at least 12 of 18 holes.

Here's a bit of truth for ya, I'm 6' 215lbs 30 yrs old, and I shoot high 70's-low 80's. I have never AVERAGED anything over 230.

[idatomhue]

I have got to agree with you. I think that guys that have hit 280 yard drives think that they average 265 but are really closer to 250 if that.

[bigwill400]

You honestly don't hit your average driver over 230, being that good a player, at your size, with today's driver and ball technology? Unless you have a physical impairment, or a golf swing that has a significant distance-robbbing flaw, a player of your skill level and size should be averaging a great deal more than 230, even gearing back for accuracy.

[DavidSomerset007]

Of course I can hit it farther, but an average distance counts the bad ones too. You have to count the heels, toes and skies and intentional controlled fades just to put it in play on short par 4's if you're gonna be honest about an average distance. You can't just take the ones on the sweet spot. What makes a good score is not having to hit it far, but just realizing how far you need to have the ball in play for your next shot, and the ability to scramble and turn bogeys into pars.

[bigwill400]

OK, that makes a little more sense. That said, even the pro's average distance only takes into account 2 holes per round. Averaging every tee shot dosen't give an accurate measure of your driving ability, due to the factors you mentioned. Hitting it far by itself dosen't make for a good score, but it makes shooting a good score a heck of a lot easier. Which approach would give a better birdie chance, a 7 iron or a hybrid?

[WolfieTed]

@DavidSomerset007 You are right that most people make up yardage, but you want a new driver if you not shooting over a 230 YRD AVG. I'm not saying anything about you, just that new technology has added plenty of distance to drivers etc.

[MrKyleShep]

To be honest I really don't see how in hell he is going to be back on tour. He's getting older, fatter, unhealthier, depressed, and rides on sponsor exemptions into PGA events, only to shoot 8 over. He was good ten years ago, but good golf doesn't come with age.

[vanhalenking]

Beer, Mcdonalds Burgers, and some Winstons. Sounds like my diet. Daly is the man!! Dont worry hell be back on tour, with a different swing coach soon. The media is always on John about his drinking. Let the man live!! Please.

[mlehew52]

it's marlbaro reds

[vanhalenking]

Yea right and I have a 10 inch penis.

[stevieray09]

YOU CANT SAY WHAT YOU NEVER HAD!

[vanhalenking]

I like that comment, "Thats how I hit it." LOl Yea right!!!!!!

[quest8899]

John Daly is a great beer drinker and golfer.

[GoForItDontLayUp]

that was a 3-wood he could only probably hit that 300 not 320+ lol.

[ChongoTheShatMonkey]

I'm surprised he takes the smoke out of his mouth when he drives.

[YApexGT]

Just because you can drive the ball 350 yards does not mean your a good golfer. Any ape can whack it 350 but that has nothing to do with being a good golfer.

[KingMatt292]

what a load of bull, you either hit it long or you dont. I hit it around 280 with a nice drive, im 17

[BingoHabs]

i can hit it around 280 with a nice little fade and im 14

[rabair]

oh please, I can hit around 480 with a nice little fade and I'm 3, bitches!

[BingoHabs]

ya right and im tiger woods

[rabair]

"ya right and im tiger woods"

Nice to meet your Mr. Woods. Seriously though, did my comment really require a "ya right" response? I was clearly joking. Lol. I was just (mockingly) adding to the pissing contest you and KingMatt292 were having.

[qwertical]

lol I got better than all of you. I can hit 278 yards (255m) with a good drive. I'm also 17, but I live in Finland. Our season lasts two or three months. :D

[900add]

@rabair lolz hit 480.. micrometers?

[CosmicSPC]

@rabair from daddys gun?

[awhelnaw]

if u find it neccessary to tell people you hit it 320...you dont hit it 320

[mr0scary]

1 time I just about whacked it 300 yards with a john daly sig. driver. and my name is John Dale! lol

[magnum69poo]

Copperateme im 13 and i drive a average of 200 my fruthest is 240 bur on average 200 and they usually go straight. If You want help try book some lessons and is it just me or is Dalys swing extremly long?

[GLAN12]

hitting a long ball isnt that difficult getting it straight is the key

[ryanmj25]

[willkendall101]

[daniel3203]

bull shit mate

[willkendall101]

[Copperateme]

[mrzlippy]

[ozzdan21]
