Loooooooong Drive!

[rokkit3]

@TheRyanWirtz - 395 yards in the LDA books...

[MrJaromirhladik]

nice piercing flight! What shaft are you using and what's the weight and length?

[rokkit3]

@MrJaromirhladik - thx. its a Harrison Striper Long Drive, don't know the weight, and its 48"

[Tomkat53]

Looks like a good shot, to me!

[MegaRama10]

dude that driver shaft is like 50 inches hhahahahaha but nice shot man good flight..

[jmac2172]

it was a great shot but there is no way to tell its actual distance from this video so everyone needs to stop trolling and saying "no more than 250". But seriously, 320+? most ranges are not even built for drives more than 275.

[rokkit3]

@jmac2172 - ...which explains why it went into the trees :)

[norman1593]

Those trees look like they're about 220-250 max. NO FURTHER!

[phantomfan23]

GREAT LAUNCH ANGLE!!!!!!! best video with the video of the ball in the air!!

[gatorsjf]

@TheRyanWirtz Some kind of slice???? This guys stance is closed which makes you draw the ball you fuckin idiot....and on top of that look how long that shaft is in that driver....I actually believe he hit the ball that far...I mean 320 isnt that hard to believe...

[imthesonofjorel]

230 yards tops.....there's a reason we cant see your whole swing!

[MrGolfer96]

@imthesonofjorel you are crazy i can see you saying 280 tops but you can tell the way it came off the face its was a big drive

[rokkit3]

@imthesonofjorel - lol

[MetaZoo22]

How long is that shaft? It looks alot longer than a normal shaft. I use the maximum legal length for tournament play and I added about 30-40 yards to my drive.

[rokkit3]

@MetaZoo22 - 48"

[cappa88]

watched all your videos... can you hit a draw? haven't seen on yet..

[rokkit3]

@cappa88 - thanks for watching by the way... when i hit it absolutely perfect, i hit a high, small draw. however, this club is almost impossible to hit perfectly ;) ill try to post some new videos soon

[robbo2186]

hah thats awesome, wish i could hit like that

[dannaryan]

that was easily 300+ i can hit 450 yards... 200yards straight 250 to the right! Beat that

[AdamFXX]

That driving range is like a film set, bright enough?

[AdamFXX]

Nice shot man, take a look at my swing?

[Marioparty10]

I love the angle. It looks like it could fly forever.

[austinsrefugee]

That's def over 300.. As a long driver myself, the sound alone resonates 315 yards at the least. Sounded sweet... I competed against Jamie Sadlowski in the Junior Re/Max in Dallas back in 2006... Kid ripped it 437 in the Semi's.. Real nice guy too

[somelikeitsnotty]

what's the loft on the driver and the length of the shaft

[TheBigezee77]

tht is average.....just looks long the way you angled the camera!

[supermuffin23]

Okay seriously youthbus... i know you want to sound like you know what your talking about. but you cant honestly know how far he hit the ball. for all you know it could have gone 350. it looked like he ripped it. there is NO WAY someone can determine how far someone hits it just because of there technique. You have absolutely no way of explaining why you think it didnt go that far, other than because "you know what your talking about" cause you obviously dont.

[KiefferProductions]

how long does it take you to hit the god damn ball

[youthbus]

sorry but that isnt 320. That is at longest, 285. Putting the camera at a lower angle and hitting at night makes the illusion of the ball going longer. But i can tell right away, thats no where near 320 only 280 I believe. Nice try though lol.

[rokkit3]

@youthbus - you don't have to apologize.... that was over 320 to be honest. believe it or not....

[SockMonkeyStudios78]

@rokkit3 i dont beleive it i agree with youthbus

[rokkit3]

@SockMonkeyStudios78 - anyone in the San Diego area is more than welcome to come watch me practice on the range if you want. I will prove it to anyone who thinks I cant hit it at least 330. LOL! ANYONE??? Bring money and be prepared to lose it.

[philebbesen]

@youthbus haha you guys are so stupid...its not even that hard to hit it 320...plus that looks like a longdriver

[As3sinoL0C0]

@philebbesen lol dude shut the fuck up. Pro's barely hit it 320. No pro even averages a 320 yard drive. Get over yourself.

[philebbesen]

@philebbesen okay first off you have no clue what you are talking about, when they calculate the pro's avg off the tee it also includes when they hit hybrids and 3 woods off the tee not only driver. so when a pro avg 310 that dosnt mean his driver goes that far that means when you add up all his 4irons, hybrids, 3woods, and drivers the player avg all together 310. His driver distance may average at 320 but when you add in all the lesser clubs it comes out much less.

[CullH]

@philebbesen That is completely false

[mikepownzall]

@youthbus I'm sorry but I hit 290 and that looks a lot farther then 290.....I'm not being a critic to you're swing but I think Rokkit3 is no where near lying.....Look at his swing...his grip is strong as hell...it looks like he plays a pull(It looks that way because of the angle) So if he hits a draw even if it carried 280 it rolled 320

[rokkit3]

@mikepownzall - at least someone knows what they are talking about here. thanks for backing me up mike. all of you nay-sayers just need to believe it and go practice until you get the distance I have/you wish to have. I do long drive competitions with that same exact driver you see me hitting here. Longest in competition is 395... and I got 4th place... take it or leave it guys!!!

[mikepownzall]

@youthbus The actual distance you "believe"and being there are two different things. I could give that a go of being 320 and with the mid ball flight and swing speed he produced it could be as well as 330

[rokkit3]

@mikepownzall - yeah on average, my ball gets about 330 -340 on the fly now...

[systemX50]

is that where you were aiming cuz either you have a fucked up stance or you mishit the hell out of it (looked like you were aiming way right)

[rusty78364]

nice hit 320 is an understatement hahalol!!!

[rokkit3]

@rusty78364 thank you!

[hondadealer15]

im guessing when this guys swing isnt going good, he slices the shitttttt out of it

[rokkit3]

@hondadealer15 lo. yes, i do slice the $#@& out if it when im off

[21Golfman21]

Where is this, is it in Illinois, the little par 3 Knights of Colombus because it looks familiar

[rokkit3]

@21Golfman21 - No. Encino/Balboa driving range. in Los Angeles.

[MIKECOLESHILL]

you should do a tutorial on this.

[uniquenewyork6715]

cool camera angle. check out my swing.

[salgado27]

Bullshit. This guy aim way far right. That's not the center. Loser. Into the trees my ass.

[rokkit3]

@salgado27 dont be jealous buddy. the ball don't lie ;)

[rendog92]

What shaft is that?

[rokkit3]

@rendog92 - Harrison Striper Long drive 48" XX shaft

[drummerkingmike]

That flight looked stunning!

[rokkit3]

@drummerkingmike - thanks!

[deadwhoreatmyfeet]

thats a pure flight

[rokkit3]

@deadwhoreatmyfeet - much appreciated!

[ddstar]

just wear jeans and get a blue rod.

[CODlova]

i just fixed my grip so now im hitting a bit over 200 but im 16 and i wanna hit farther? what do i do? simply just life weights? or what?

[grenerd84]

you don't have to be ripped to hit it far.... just work on your swing

[rokkit3]

@grenerd84 - true! muscle memory...

[mitchgm]

dont lift weights just yet you need to get your swing down and the technique when u start hitting it farther with the technique then u can start lifting ...remember its all in the hips lol...

[rokkit3]

@mitchgm - yep.

[rokkit3]

@CODlova - lots of practice my friend... lots of it

[rokkit3]

haha. thanks a lot. much appreciated!

[elementskater2268]

i donno if its just the camera angle or what, but the driver shaft looks really long!

[rokkit3]

yes, it is... 48"

[maerten1]

look where his hands are when he is preparing... big difference with his hands when he hits the ball..

[pattyxcakes13]

wow... is all i can say... what a stupid comment

[karmak1d]

It fun to see these guys hit the long ball but in reality they can't even break par. Tiger is the best for a reason.

[rokkit3]

you are right, i hate reality!

[malahideboy]

dis is only my opinion so i may not be right!

ur feet seem to point way to d right and u stand to close to d ball so it hits off d heel

dis wud make it go straight but u wud go even further if u had ur feet aimed straight andused the middle of the driver

amazing swing tho

[karmak1d]

He didn't hit it off the heel, it just looks that way because your below the ball and can see where his feet are aimed.

[rokkit3]

correct, its just the camera angle... my stance is a little closed though. helpsget my hands through quicker.

[rokkit3]

@karmak1d - good eyes ;)

[rokkit3]

@malahideboy - thank you for the compliments. it is the camera angle that is throwing everyone off. the ball went straight.

[flybywire22]

I could hit it 320+ yards if my driver shaft was six feet long too...nice drive n swing tho

[hellhold6]

srry but no long drive was 380 and that guy was on steroids

[rokkit3]

lol. thanks

[rokkit3]

@flybywire22 - hah. thanks.

[NickRoller]

im sorry but that sounded like shit.

you should have put a draw on it.

doubt it was 320 yards

[rokkit3]

...350

[plane63]

@NickRoller you knw... your either blind or retarded. Firstly, obviously a microphone in the standard camera electronically transferred to a computer and then finally uploaded to youtube is not going to sound the same. Plus it depends on your sound card and speakers headphones headset whatever the heck you have.

And you must be blind and/or slightly-fully retarded because you could see how beautiful the ball looked coming off the tee. It had to have been at least 300, easily.

[TiGeRiZNuMbeR1]

yeah that was a nice stright drive no doubt 300+

[rokkit3]

thank you!

[skatercdub16]

ya thats definelty a moth

[zodiackilla]

It looked like a moth..

[kickassproductions9]

awsome angle ang shot, wow. Check out my swing and see if you can find a fault

[jamesgolfs]

very nice shot. knees were to bent, hands were to low, your lining the club up at the heel, otherwise nice shot

[rokkit3]

thanks, but you are wrong

[FalconVB]

Drive for show put for dough baby

nice hit though

[rokkit3]

you got that right! thats why im poor! lol

[uniquenewyork6715]

based on the club speed i doubt it went 320. but defintely was dead straight.

[rokkit3]

correct, it was about 350

[andy55512000]

that was smoked dead straight. great drive there.

[rokkit3]

thank you!

[dquin12]

wow nice shot man

[rokkit3]

thank you!

[rokkit3]

Thank you!

however, i bet you are wrong about bending my knees...

[mellenjuice]

i bet you could hit it even farther if you didn't bend your knees so much. But still that was awesome.

[Michaelamos94]

omg tht went miles lol nice shot

[rokkit3]

Many thanks!!!

[rexrex010]

Are you kidding? 1 billion people can hit a ball for 100m before the lights fade on it.

Not worthy of 1 star. You idiot.

[stefanastley777]

The ball was still climbing as it left the lights... Idiot.

Many people can hit a ball 100m, but 1/10 of those can hit it with no hook or slice. Idiot.

That shot was straighter than the equator. Nice shot!

[AlbFree]

that was a good ball there.

[awesomay]

amazing man

[bumblesbounce54321]

such a great camera angle, you can see the whole ball flight. just awesome!

[shoxstun]

great drive man, but gonna be honnest when u addressed it with ur stance so closed i was thinking WTF is goin here lol but hey looks like it works lol

[MKotthoff]

It's meant to change the swing path. He is probably a natural slicer of the golf ball and when you close the stance it causes a inside to out swing path which will help him draw the ball.

[discohunter12]

this looks fake, even it it was it still looks cool.

[RebelBullet777]

nice drive dude :) where abouts is this?

[rokkit3]

Thank you...

This was filmed @ Encino/Balboa G.C. in Van Nuys, California.

[urtimeisnear]

lol back slow trough at like 700km

[foxysocks24]

bet u cant hit your irons worth shit.. but u can sure crush a driver

[rokkit3]

LOL.

Thank you, but you are wrong with the irons...

Believe it or not, I dont even play a 3wood. I use my 2-iron...

[killermonster555]

i think that went into orbit.

[rokkit3]

thank you!

[WEWINRACES]

wwat driver

[dirkofyork]

that thing when straight

[rokkit3]

thanks!

[neilcampbellisdaman]

Personally everyoe exagerates the distance they hit the ball i rekon i hit my driver 280 and ive been playing since i was about 5 im now 18, 6ft 2 and play off 4. Most tour pros great drives are just over 300 and i rekon people have just been playing too many video games or are just idiots to rekon the consistantly hit there drives 300 + :L:L. U can argue as much as u want but i know im partially right as i know little 300 + drivers of the ball and there seems to be hundreds on youtube :L:L:D

[rokkit3]

Yeah, I agree that there are many imposters on here, but I can guarantee you that I can put it out there 350+ yards with my driver. You are right... most tour pros average less than 300 yards, and you also have to remember that they are playing for score, so they cant swing out of their asses every time they have a driver in their hands. Long drivers do just that... swing their asses off!

[chrizz123456]

You have to hit it 400+ yards to be a competitive long driver.

[rokkit3]

Eh... not quite. But pretty darn close!

[samcaigerslc]

nice drive what club u using??

anyway good natural swing keep on

[icewolf540]

I'm 14 years old right now and im playing a Taylormade r5 driver, My personal best drive is 301 yards uphill landing it on a par 4 green at my home course, figured i'd throw that in there :)! anyway im getting a new driver soon and im thinking callaway FT-5 but any1 got a suggestion on a nice driver?

[NACbredaNAC]

From the camera view it looks like a little slice.

[rokkit3]

Nope! Dead straight...

[DrummingMofo]

very nice connection. and nice swing.

[rokkit3]

Thank you!

[westsidetigerwoods]

super good connection

[rokkit3]

thank you. it is much appreciated.

[skatercdub16]

that was a cool angle

the ball going off into the night

[rokkit3]

thank you. i wish i had a better camera that could zoom on the ball as it gets farther away. oh well!

[GuitarLord71]

tell me how you did that. my ball always slices right. anyone can tell me how to do it.

[donkeydickkk]

u hit the ball from the inside newb!

[GuitarLord71]

are you what your name says you are. hmm you are an ass. and you are a dick!!

[skatercdub16]

he may be a donkey dick

but u are probably going over the top

he is right

[rokkit3]

its a combination of many things that have to come together at impact. Hips are very important as well as many other factors... watch my other videos and you might pick up a few things... :) thank you by the way!

[golfpro020591]

great swing mate, i love the way it just seems to disappear into the night sky, like something taking off

[rokkit3]

much appreciated. thank you!

[zormar0]

nice and strait.

[rokkit3]

thank you.

[sumlikapmp]

deffenatly not legal driver that was like a 65 in driver

[rokkit3]

it is legal according to the LDA and PGA rules. PGA allows up to a 48" shaft. LDA allows up to a 48.5" shaft.

[UnitedCommodities]

LDA allows up to a 50 inch shaft

[gsclelo]

no they allow up to a 48" shaft with is usga legal

[TYEZ]

what are the specs on that driver?

[rokkit3]

specs are 6 degree face, 48" x-stiff (tipped) Harrison Striper Long Drive shaft.

[Alyx13M]

Nice.Man.. Good shot!

The only thing i have seen is: That yor hips are pointing a little more to the left then your stance is! Thats all! Good Swing!

[skeet2face09]

haha, we have pretty much the same exact stance,

i hafta stand like that because my ball normally slices like a bitch,,, lol..

beautiful hit my man, i hit a bit over 310 (b/c thats the longest part of the driving range around here. )

[rokkit3]

thank you for the compliment on my swing... yeah, the longer the shaft, the more likely you are going to slice so its all about making adjustments! 310 is not bad at all. keep practicing and you can get more distance if thats what you are looking for. if you fix your slice and turn it into a draw, there is at minimum 10 extra yards right there.

[skeet2face09]

yea, every little thing makes a difference, i was hitting with range balls which are CRAPPY! lol,

[johnhatkinson]

You get the hips cleared really well-pretty much pointing right at the target at impact. Tryin to hit it longer myself and that is the main thing i have noticed in big hitters that they really get the hips turning right through at impact.

[rokkit3]

much appreciated!

[rokkit3]

actually is was dead straight to be honest... and thank you!

[equalblakey]

dude i hit 320 all the time!

[gettchic1]

holy shit, that looked like a fucking rocket heading into space, it looked like it was never going to land

[bigtorque]

cool camera angle

[rokkit3]

much appreciated! new ones will be up soon so check back soon!

[nojomen2]

I do 250 and im 13 nub

[mizunogolfguy]

dude who cares what your feet look like, who cares what your swing looks like, thats a smash, and its strait. probably better than half the guys trying to critique you on here. nice swing

[rokkit3]

you da man mizuno! thanks!

[Kenspokerface]

He should have used the N-Forcer 460 by alloutgolf

[vincekooyman]

work on your footwork bro

[MJkate]

Nobody cares about the lone spruce championship. Dont be a jerk. This guy probably flies your ball anyways and he doesnt claim to be a "long hitter" or even brag about it.

[xstevenmaox]

mang i cant find the one with bubba watson, i heard he hit a 450+ in one of 2007 tourneys=[

[Phatberry]

Holy fuck budddy, yo nailed that one!

[spynldoc]

who cares what you can do, this isn't your video. I can't stand people putting down other people's stuff. Put your drives on here, and let me run through your swing.

[XxIVIonSteR]

Is it a 50" shaft or somewhere near?

[rokkit3]

48" to be exact.

[XxIVIonSteR]

ok, on my video on my user I use a 45" but I'm not really a farhitter :P
