Oh my goodness gracious alive honestly might be downwind downhill I could be like 450 500 Yard all right guys welcome back to the channel I have a special one for you today I got World Long Drive champ Martin Borg me here I’ve never hit a long drive driver in my life Martin so today I want you to one let me use your

Driver and just to see how I hit it I’m assuming I’m not going to hit it great and if if you have any tips for me on how to hit it uh let me know but let’s go through the specs difference first so the most important difference is

Actually the length so your length is probably like 45 and half is it uh yeah 45 45 actually so look this is 3 in longer so this is maxed out this is absolutely usj legal so the limit the current limit is 48 some people might think it’s 46 but that’s actually a

Local rule that tournaments can Implement if they want to to get it down to 46 so this is the USGA Max then looking at the Loft I mean what’s your Loft nine nine yeah and you go standard okay so you go actual 9° this one right

Here is 4 and 1 half stated wow but I got it down at 2 and A2 -2 wow so special adapter that you have that is a tour adapter that goes down to minus two but only up to plus one not to plus two gotta so then the next bit is your

Driver your shaft Flex is probably like an EXT extra stiff yeah yeah it’s extra stiff it’s like like a telephone pole it barely wobbles not at all this one right here is really whippy so this is a light ladies what’s your weight is it like 60 G 70 70 actually that’s pretty heavy

This one is 39 39 G yeah it’s really light what stood out for me though is that’s USGA illegal so you can show up tomorrow to a tournament that doesn’t have a local rule imply that I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it like you could if you wanted to you definitely could

And then also and this is also usj rules the face does not have any additional spring effect some call a trampoline effect whatever it might be this is perfectly legal it’s actually colder than you might think your face is a lot harder than mine really because the hotter the face is

The more well vulnerable it is to speak right because at some point the thinner the face is the more spring effect it has the sooner it’s going to break so this one is very durable and well it’s it’s actually not as hot as the ones off the shelf that’s that’s absolutely

Insane to me cuz I would think your guys are swinging it faster you would need something stiffer yeah I mean that was the perception for a long time but now then at some point a couple people just for fun switched over to the lady’s flex

And they were like oh my God this is so much faster one and two it’s so much more effortless because that’s what it’s really about you’re you you don’t have to move as fast to get the same speed because you can just unload it correctly you can whip it it’s it’s basically like

A whip gotcha so that’s how it works so you’ll see I mean compared to this this going to feel completely different right come on give it a shot do I have to yell after I hit it yes I mean that’s that’s a must is that a part yeah it’s a part

It adds like between it depends on how you yell between like 12 to 22 yard that’s like 12 yards go again yeah that’s like 20 and then when you really go after there you go that’s 22 yards and just try that I mean you can try

Just to give it a good comparison you could just try a normal shot and then let’s see how much all right so number one what stands out to me is I look like this thing looks like it’s about like 10 ft long okay and number two it looks

Like there’s negative Loft you don’t see the face right it literally looks like yeah you can’t see the face it looks like it I would say like an infinity the driver like it goes in so it looks like it’s just going to go whoop right down

To the ground so this has less L than most Putters when you think about it right some some puts have 3° and so this is 2 and a half it’s actually fun fact this is an actual 2° so it came as 4 degre it shows four and a half but

That’s because they only have one stamp in the factory right but every driver is handmade so they all come out a little different just like there’s tolerances right and I wanted to have them low on the Spectrum so it’s a 4° it’s actually degree so I mean give it your best so

This to me I would be careful guys because I have no idea this thing I this honestly Josh this driver to me with a 9° to me looks like a h hybrid like a sandwich it’s crazy it feels like there’s nothing in my hand almost it’s

Like so light yeah so I took the as you can tell as well I didn’t mention this I took the weight out so I took the weight out the weight Port so the standard weight of this head is 100 82 G which is pretty light then the adapter adds a

Little bit but this compared to this is probably like 10 gam lighter because you have two screws in there jeez the beauty about the shaft is it has very low torque it’s only 4 and2 degrees of torque I don’t know if you know what that means okay so yours take my head an

Agreement okay so your shaft probably has around 2 and a half degrees of torque but it’s very stiff so most ladies flxs have like 10 degrees of torque so that means it’s just like torquing torquing this way okay exactly right that makes a lot of [Laughter] sense you

Won oh my gosh by the way that was that was you didn’t see it right heard he’s got Martin on this one I I think that’s a smart bet because that one like a 100 yard and nose dived uhhuh so the reason your ball actually nose Dove is because

You do not create enough spin Loft what that means is you have an angle of attack meaning you hit up or down on the ball and then you have a dynamic Loft so the delivered lofted impact and the difference between the two basically creates spin right most people have too

Much spin L but with that driver you do not have enough so what do you suggest for me to get a little bit more here just I want to hit a a half decent one can I you have a higher te or something I can use I so that would be a great

Idea so basically what you want to try to do is you want to try to hit a moonball because I mean I don’t really want you to change that Loft because then you would do this right that really doesn’t make sense you could just like change the actual Loft but let’s make it

A little fun and actually just want you uh let’s basically just make you hit it as high as you can that’s your swing so feel like it’s just trying to go to the up as much as you can so go a little higher in t height so I would just go

Maybe with this yep so that’s why you guys use yeah super long 4in T’s yeah so and also by the way so do you guys use 4in T’s or do you use higher te’s so there is a usgaa rule yeah 4 inch right for Te height is four inches nobody knows usually you

Know but nobody knows you know because you do all your trick shots exact right and those t’s are actually legal here and they’re like oh like no it’s exactly right but most people don’t know because they’ve never te the ball up that high right because it doesn’t really make

Sense for most people it’s a great drill for a lot of people to do exactly what you want to do now but but this te height is I would say pretty okay high for the regular golfer and that is going to fall I’m trying to do like okay yeah

You want to stay back swing up that’s what you want to do basically send a moon ball that’s what you want to do send it don’t swing hard though right hard and just as high as you can launch it up there all the way up I like that huh you like that come

On and I mean you didn’t even think about the yell right it’s an automatic it’s an auto it is no it’s an automatic you you were yelling that was sick how do that feel it felt fantastic and it actually went like a normal flight although I felt like I was trying to hit

It to the like literally to the Moon yeah that’s really what you want to try with that Loft just try to launch it as high as you can and then especially with that shaft when you hit a lot of drivers and I hit a lot of drivers it’s just so

Much more effortless it’s like well I thought because of the flex I was going to actually miss at like a thousand yard r no you didn’t because I’ve hit like the lag shot before and I I always miss those a thousand yard right but I

Actually hit like a little bit of a draw now and the reason probably is because you hit it so late you were trying to hit it that high so you hit it later so that face is shutting a bit more and I mean eventually it’s going to be a

Matter of timing right and the more you swing with such a club the better you learn how to unload it especially when you see numbers and I would recommend most people that want to get into long drive so if you wanted to compete with us now

I would ask you to hit in a Sim like three four times a week see your numbers get a feel for the shaft and for the new club and see what it actually does because you don’t really get without feedback you can’t really get better because I couldn’t tell you how far that

Went or how fast it was let’s just go with like 500 yards I I would say for the sake of the video I believe he just hit it 427 yards because it’s a little down and you were yelling so like exactly right so but that was impressive

Thank you so much man thanks for letting me use your driver do you guys have any slots open at the next stop for the drive 100% sign up man we’re starting in March and the first event is going to be in Oceanside California so not that far

From here and we’re going to have a lot of events I think there’s going to be like 10 events on the schedule and anyone can sign up really also for qualifiers for the world championship sign up there’s locals and Regional qualifiers sign up give it a shot

Because as soon as you hit six balls in a row because that is what we do six balls in a row in 2 minutes and 45 seconds you feel that adrenaline rush and you’re hooked forever that’s got to be sick yeah check it out so come on

Come on out if you you think you have the stuff and compete against me and Martin uh if you you Martin thanks again man that was awesome dude I love what you guys are doing here let me give I’ll take my driver back though it’s a little

  1. Martin is my favorite, not just long driver but golfer period. He is always laughing, smiling and joking around but always helping people out. I always root for him in the long drive tournaments. I have never met him but he seems like a great young man.

  2. Haven't watched the video yet but ill guess how to hit 400 yards drives.
    Step 1: be a massive german tank
    Step 2: buy teeny weeny shorts
    Step 3: swing for the fences, technique is overrated
    Step 4: get the new paradym smoke bro

  3. Thank you so much, Josh! Loved being a part of your video and the days of content creation with you are the absolute epitome of professionalism. You’re the man!

  4. The more I see Martin the more I enjoy seeing him. Seems like such a down to earth dude. I’m a big guy as well, and I can tell you, in my experience, sometimes the bigger and scarier looking the guy the more of a teddy bear the guy is.
