Just absolute top-level performance here:
Forget everything you knew about Kyle Berkshire. All the Google posts displaying the answers to questions like: "How far can Kyle Berkshire hit a golf ball?" and, "How fast does Kyle Berkshire swing?" and, "What is the longest ball ever hit off a tee?" …
On Monday, Berkshire hit a golf ball farther than any human being has ever hit one in recorded history at nearly 580 yards. Later in the day he topped that off with a record ball speed off the club — an astounding 241.7 mph.
Here's this pro hitting the 579-yarder:
The swing itself looked like a full-body workout!
Note that Berkshire is a "professional long driver." It's his job. It's all he does. That puts him head and shoulders above even the gold-level drivers in the normal game:
Irish superstar McIlroy has recorded a 427-yard drive off the tee in competition. Power driver DeChambeau, who has actually competed in long drive competitions as well as being a current member on the LIV Golf League, registered a 480-yard drive in 2021. [Tiger] Woods once hit a 498-yarder at the 2002 Mercedes Championship.
Those are big numbers. None of them come close to 579 yards.
Berkshire, meanwhile, is confident in his abilities: "I'm far from peaking," he said.
If this isn't peak power drive, I can't wait to see what is!
