World Long Drive Champion Kyle Berkshire: “This is how to hit it further”

Long drive king Kyle Berkshire has set a new golf ball speed world record… and he has advice on how YOU can hit it further.
Barely a day goes by without a discussion on how far the modern pro hits the golf ball breaking out, be it excited fans gasping at a 400-yard rocket or dismayed pundits bemoaning classic courses being overpowered.
Let’s hope the latter never meet World Long Drive Champion Kyle Berkshire, a man who makes Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy look like short hitters – and who’s just set a new ball speed world record.
“If anyone wants to say they hit it past me, I’ll fly wherever and hit side by side with them and people can look at the TrackMan numbers,” he says. “I’ll use their club if they want me to. I’m not saying this to slight them, because they are phenomenal at what they do, but they can’t hit it as far as me, and that’s a fact.”
Now, he’s proved it, too – setting the new speed record by hitting ball a staggering 236.2mph on a simulator… In fact, he did it three times, just to prove it wasn’t a fluke.
