I’ve been invited to participate in a long drive event there’s some of the top guys in the world here who introduce them but I’ve got my long driver I’ve got my lucky moose head I’ve got my lucky glove and it’s time to rip some bosss see how I Go so this is one of the Pro long drivers here he is unfortunately in my Heats so I have to beat him to get through couple of stages here Cody billinghurst rank number 25 in the world give us some of your top results this
Year uh this year I made two top 16s um unfortunately this year I tried to get a little bit faster and with being a little bit faster I wasn’t able to hit the grit as much what’s the longest ball you’ve ever hit any conditions Fort Rowan at Starks uh golf golf course
There I think uh 437 is the longest yeah that’s an Ontario that’s not like silly elevation but it is like the grid there is elevated quite a bit but we’re not we’re not in like Colorado or anything like that so I take a little bit of
Pride in that so yeah 437 so today I got to hit 438 no problem I love it you have six in your group but your longest ball is going to count out of all 12 and top 16 go on to uh group a top 16 overall overall the fact that we’re together it
Doesn’t really doesn’t matter yeah whatever they’re Hing it doesn’t matter yeah all right gotcha so on these systems every time you hit a ball you get all sorts of information really these are the two most important for us today Club speed and ball speed uh Club speeds obviously
Have fast the club is moving ball speed is how fast it comes off the club those will give you a smash Factor so that is what multiple of Club head speed is your ball speed and if you hit the center of the club face that is the highest the
One other important one is spin so the higher the spin the more that the ball is going to float up in the air and if it floats up in the air it’s going to sort of drop straight down to the ground and that’s when you see a really long
Carry with not a whole lot of roll the interesting thing about these drivers as you can see there’s no grooves on the face at all and that is designed so you don’t get back spin so it’ll go as far as it can and if you hit it really well it’ll
Look like a a knuckle ball but the challenge is on a normal driver those grooves create backspin and that inertia of the Back Spin stops the side Spin and so it’s easier to hit a normal driver straight it’s easier to hit these ones far which is why these will hit it very
Far but they won’t be very good for you on the course oh get in that was my best contact so I hit I hit the grid six times 6 for six that’s good 358 379 382 379 388 386 that I’m into the next round I can
Cruise I can Cruise you just get used to the technique that’s that’s a good start that’s your heat is stacked all the boys I believe it’s top six seeds are here Mitch give us some context to what you guys are doing in this yeah so the average very good golfer like
Average scratch golfer would hit the ball like 300 to 310 yards so when you see multiple people hitting it like 380 390 it’s insane and there’s 32 guys here and we probably have the top three scores of 32 guys all right so yeah we’ll go over the full results after but
Context wise if you hit the ball over 300 yards you’re in the top I would Hazard the guess the top 3% of golfers uh so this is like it’s proper World level guy and guys just behind like World National level guys uh so it’s cool like really high level
Competition literally in my hometown which is great like how do I not come out and participate all right round one all done Cody 405 unreal Matt 38.8 and myself at 38.4 Now we move on and we go head-to-head so I play 14 R who’s Glenn Cody plays Jordan Matt plays Tad so on
And so forth six balls one rounds whoever wins wins and moves on to the next round uh really got four sets of balls left if you make it through to the finals so let’s See oh fun D tip bull is not the best triple 20 is the best which I learned from watching darts in the middle of the night when I was a child victim number one hey how you going Glen spry here uh the oldest man in this whole place I get to go
Against the strongest man that’s not fair that’s not fair in any world but you know I’m going to give him my best I think I got a a sneaky 370 380 in there today fingers crossed we can get there awesome all right oh this ain’t the oldest fell in the place and the
strongest one in the place and it sounds like you’ve come a long way for this uh well no not quite not quite I I’m only International competitor please put it this way buddy if I was living in New Zealand I would come all the way for this just to hit with your
Come on so close I missed to if I catch the club face that’s going what do I got three three left huh three left come on Bo some of the new people that are following you probably don’t know like much about your golf history yeah so
When I was a kid I played on like golf tours all growing up and then going into grade nine I was invited to go down to Orlando with Sean Foley who was coaching tiger at the time and he ran a small sort of like hybrid High School Golf
Academy where you do high school for part of the day and go golf for part of the day so I went and played with them was invited to join but it was like too much for me my mom asked me if I wanted to do it and I just basically said that
I didn’t want to then I played and eventually chose to play football rather than golf um but I played with guys who are on the PGA tour I played with guys who are on all of the smaller tours and obviously when I did it my strength was
In hitting the ball hard and far and it’s one of those things it’s like riding the B you can you can pick it up relatively quickly if you did it as a kid uh so I might not be super consistent today but we should be able to put some decent numbers
Out all righty how do you feel about that I’m going to need everything I’ve got man everything everything this old scar ridden buddy can throw at it six home run swings you just need one yep better better contact better better three balls three balls give us one oh there’s
Contact that bad huh to your left straighten her up go baby 3 40 point4 I you just remember that okay one more everything you got everything in those old bones let’s go ah that was it too ah thanks very much fell good morning de buddy well done look at look at
This I know I know this is about the size of I know yards per thickness of quad you smoke me I didn’t hit any of those very well like all of them were very very high so got to flatten them that’s the thing
With a club with a lot of uh Flex to it if you get it wrong it like flicks the ball instead of driving it so we’re back to the green Beauty hi my name is Rob pada uh unfortunately got a hit against this monster here um
It’s been a good day so far so I just want to give a shout out to my company uh swing plates it’s the best aerodynamic uh swing trainer for your golf speed and um I’ve been doing this for a few years big fan of uh world’s
Strongest man so it’s kind of an honor to compete against uh the current world strongest man and uh it’s great that he brought that title home to Canada so looking forward to it let’s do it let’s do it good hitting uh OB 311 oh stay here that’s a good ball sorry no all
Right oh good hit I got one ball two more come on that screen is so much more like dispersion it holds it all right come on baby my hiits are getting ahead of my body all right last one this is that flicking thing that I’m doing all
Right one more big ball come on baby I didn’t hit it well so I got you at 37.1 all right 372.00 It’s very serious very Serious one good contact all you need yeah good smooth Swing 344 that was it mate there’s plenty of space off to the left 344 point7 come on now big Swim a it’s a good ball that’s a good ball and that’s in for sure two Balls Good done fuing brother honor to play against you well done final ball what a shot right so I H my own I got beat out we’re going to watch the two guys here who’ve been tearing it up the two guys who were in my group to start the two who beat me in
The first rounds I think longest drive today’s been 403 so far so they’ll go head to-head that’s going to determine the winner and see how they Go you pull it watch out watch out we got a couple more couple [Applause] more [Applause] 43 all right so winner the big man we called it from the start there was four shouting from the start but that last Drive was insane 429 I mean it got a hold of it I just I wanted to be a little bit more patient at the top and
Came through with it so it’s so good now for everyone in the comments we’re on trackman there’s no wins there’s no external circumstances this is as legit as it can get this would be more legit than playing outside because you can’t have a downwind here it’s just stock
Standard so 25th in the world but keep an eye on them we’ll put his socials down in the link in the description keep an eye out I’ll keep coming out to these as long as they’re in Buried we’ll keep having some fun and maybe one day I’ll
Come chasing you I love it thanks appreciate it

That cody guy has some muscle you should train him a bit moose
Didn’t know you were this good at golf! The golf community on youtube is HUGE, would be cool to see you collaborate with them… (good good, bob does sports…) that will grow your channel big time. Keep doing golf content!!
Dude I've got the same moose head cover for my driver. How do you get that ball speed most I've gotten is 176? is it just more swings=more speed
I wanna see Mitch get on the ice and play some hockey.
wow you got a really good swing! so surprised. I know guys that play that are your size and their mobility is a joke. You're a lucky guy! what's your handicap? it must be low with that swing.
As far as "all around athletes"…what strongmen in history were great athletes like Mitch? Magnus Samuelson was an armwrestling champion…but I wouldn't consider him an all around athlete. I'm gonna guess there were some high level football players that were great athletes. Eddie Hall was a swimmer and used to have an athletic build. Brian and Thor were basketball players and then Thor added boxing. I'd pick Mitch at number 1 and Dariusz Pudginowski at 2(he fought MMA and I'm sure many other sports), Thor as number 3(for now), Kaz, Jon Pall Sigmarson, Magnus Ver Magnuson. I'm sure there are a lot of smaller(weaker I dare say non WSM winners) guys I'm missing. But maybe the rules will be WSM winners only.That would be a great show/video…Most Athletic WSM in History.
That swing is unbelievably impressive considering the size of you! What an athlete.
You should have your first round opponent on for a strength training video where you show him some raw strength builders he can do even at his age
220 ball speed, mate that’s absolutely elite. Great work.
This is the one of the most impressive things I've seen. 216 ball speed …
The skill level compared to Loz, Liz and the gang playing crazy golf 😆
I've always said the top of pro athletes are just freaking awesome at anything they try… Strongmen, NBA, NHL… Doesn't matter the best pros are good at everything…
You’ve definitely played golf before to hit drives like that , that’s insane for a strongman . Great technique
This is more impressive than his strongman stuff, he's literally in the top 0.1% in driving distance. Unbelievable all around athlete. For context the average 10 handicap (a pretty decent player) only averages around 230 yards.
Super athlet… Guy is a freak
great video
Time to get in a episode with the Good Good or Fore Play guys
Hell yeah
Dam you beat the kiwi
It's refreshing seeing a big guy that can actually smash a ball.
stupid video
I really enjoyed you until i saw Golf was involved 😅😅😅😅😅
How far can you hit a baseball??
love the golf content. Mitchell you are a beast in the long drive you could compete on a world level with some practice .
“ The Natural “
Never heard of him? World’s strongest man?
Hey Mitch did you play hockey growing up? Would be cool to see you on the ice maybe a collab with Mitch Marner?
You should really collab with kyle Berkshire or Martin Borgmeier if u wanna do some long drive golf content. That’ll be super dope
Need a collab with @goodgood
