I do. He sways back, then pretty much stays there. He gets 150 degrees of shoulder turn, too... If he started "swayed back" and stayed there you wouldn't say what you're saying. His head doesn't move much from the top of his backswing to impact.

Maybe it's my own thing, but everyone always points this out about my swing. My head moves to a position in the backswing, but stays nearly perfectly still all the way till the ball is gone. Everyone always tells me that I can't possibly hit it well like that.

Yep, I'm positive. This is what the guy DOES. Again, it's not a 20-handicapper claiming he can fly the ball 300. Chill. I have no reason to doubt he can do it, and I don't think you do either.

No, of course not, nothing of the sort. I'm just saying I think he would hit a lot of shots like 320 and 100 yards left/right so along with those 380 ones. Maybe not, who knows. I thought from the thing he was just some kid on YouTube.

He should play. Imagine you show up on the first tee to find your opponent is 3'9" and then he sets up and rips one 400 yards onto the green. I'd just shake his hand, put my clubs back in the car and head for the bar.

3'9"??!!?!?!? What? Damn, You Tube is blocked here at work, I gotta remember to check this out at home tonight. Any screen shots that can be posted?

If he's 3' 9" then it looks like he has a PW shaft in his driver.

You can't.

He can. You have to hit the ball from all sorts of lies. You practice with 13 different clubs (plus a putter). He practices with one club and the ball's always sitting on a tee.

Where are the rest of the workers in the chocolate factory? Whose going to get a goddamned candy bar if one oompa loompa spends his whole day swinging out of his shoes and looking like something that Jason Zuback had removed from underneath his 'driver shaft'?

This is gross. Long drive people are to golf what male pornstars are to sex.

lol, guys, if he were 3'9" he wouldn't even be able to swing that driver unless he had hands on the top of his head..in which case the video would be more impressive than it is now.

only thing that makes this guy unbelievable is that he has a video in which he clames to hit a ball 534 yards on one of those "launch monitor" videos

I'd like to point out a few things.
A) If you believe he's 3'9" then put your helmet on and go get back on your little yellow bus to go to "school"
2) He does sway back a TON and his grip is ridiculously strong and he looks all pumped up like hes about to do a 800lb deadlift when he walks up to the ball, and it's damned near offensive, but bottom line is He crushes it. Plain and simple. Who cares how or why? That's what he wants to do. Let him be. Im sure he's happy as a clam. He's young and he's pretty damned good at what he's doing.
C) He didn't ask for this. Someone else posted a video of him on here and we're all pretending we know his motives or why he's doing whatever or how good or bad his results are. I'd like to see him sign on and tell everyone here (myself included) to stfu and go hit a 235 yard drive. hahaha

P.S. the A,2,C thing was on purpose. its a joke.

Do they let him do long drive competitions with his face paint on, or not? Does he wear the green wig, or does it break his concentration?

People often mock the things they're afraid of.

Yeah dead right. Quit with the hating people. For his size (He is surely taller than 3'9"?) he can hit the ball miles. good luck to the guy.

Whoops, yea I guess I was duped about the 3'9" thing. I guess I didn't really think about how tall 3'9" actually is. Still, he looks about 5'0" or so. Still pretty darn amazing in my book.

I'm definitely afraid of oompa loompas.

It looks like he pulled his shot in the first video big time. It may have faded back but still, huge pull.

I'm terrified of long drive bozos. You've finally exposed me, Mr. Wizard.
