Jamie Sadlowski - 2007 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship

[bigdawgkevin]

When you stop working on your strength and flexability you won't hit as well. So i would say in Jamie's case about 20 years maybe.

[A9L8R]

As he gets older, he should get significantly stronger. Can he not convert this strength into added clubhead speed by increasing his driver shaft length?

[alongdriver]

He is probably already at the maximum by LDA standards.

[MAlatinboy]

@A9L8R it's already maxed out I'm sure, the LDA guys always use close to the max. at least 48" usga regulation and even sometimes 50" lda regulation.

[r1beef88]

So understand what i'm asking, when does a person get to the point they wont hit any better? by the way i love all this arguing stuff

[bigdawgkevin]

r1beef, how did you do in mesquite this year? You're a recognized face in the stands when you get knocked out in the first round maybe. He is getting better , he will keep getting better and he will be at the tour events this year. You'll get to see him from the stands in the later rounds.

[r1beef88]

ok, this isnt about jamie look at my other commment and see, he is good and has done more then me. I'm asking when do you think people peak. I say its younger then older. and i'm talking about being consistantly hot not just a guy who won in his 40's. not trying to say he won't get better but how much better do you think he'll get?

[paulski5]

His technique is pretty well maxed out. (honestly everything is pretty well MAX) Long/UNrestricted pivot (like Bubba, Daly, Zuback), strong downswing pivot with lots of axis tilt, super delayed release with lots of ANGLE, etc. The only thing I can think of is if he is TRYING to "stress the shaft" with the momentum of his backswing. (but he seems to)

So (mostly): conditioning.........for rotation speed!!.........and arm strength......and body durability.

ru shittting me jamie hits the ball 400 yards

thats unbelieveable for a 19 year old kid!

in a couple more years he'll will be hitting 450 then the yardeges will just keep going up when he gets older

[r1beef88]

yeah thats whats going to happen... he will magically start to swing 20mph faster because he got older. your an idiot. this isnt about jamie this is about morons like you that dont understand how hard it is to gain 10mph in ball speed. takes more then being old

[bringingit]

Your a reconized face? give me a break, if you knew anything about the sport you wouldnt be chirpin' this kid. He's well respected already at 19 year old. As far as him being at his peak, he is only going to get bigger, faster and stronger= more power. Ive seen him compete 3 times now and been impressed everytime. So your saying he isnt good, or hes ok but wont get any better?

[paulski5]

"He's well respected already at 19 year old. As far as him being at his peak, he is only going to get bigger, faster and stronger= more power."

Agreed.

[r1beef88]

i dont know why everone thinks because he's young he is going to be great. Didnt do anything on LDA tour this year and everyone gets excited when he makes an appearance. probly at the top of his game right now.

[bringingit]

r1beef88. Your an idiot. He doesnt compete in any LDA events if you followed the sport you would know that. Look at this placing at "WORLDS" something you wont ever experience but you can read about it.

RECORD::

Juniors: 4th, 2nd, 1st, 1st

Open: 25th, 24th, 3rd

I would say that's not a bad track record at all for a 19 year old kid.

[r1beef88]

I compete in the sport and im a reconized face in it. Why not be in tour events? lots of cash up for grabs and everytime a person competes they get better right? Monroe, Dobbyn compete throughout the year for $. Im not ragging on him, I've seen him hit 5 outa 18 balls over 400. why people always seem to think a young guy will only get better, I just don't understand, he's not 12. don't you think he only going to get older and slower?

[bentetzfan9]

no, most people don't get any slower until they start to lose flexability, with jamie, that won't be a problem for many years

[jaywhooo]

Dude you are the f***ing idiot. He has played in LDA events including 2007 Re/Max. As for true facts look at Tiger. At 19 He could crush a ball around 325 yards BUT that swing really took a toll on his body. That is why he HAD to change his swing and slow down. Same thing will happen to this guy. He doesnt have the frame to support his demanding swing.

[AdamBorycki]

No I think you are wrong there Back then Tiger could crush it about 350 and he changed swings because well he was pretty wild of the tee and I think this guys going to be the next Jason Zuback.

[tastybrownies]

@AdamBorycki

Yeah even if you can crush it like that, you better worry about your second shot.

[Tkgolfman2]

He is ONLY 19!!! Has a big futur in long drive. Very very straight!
