its stupid they dont let him fit the shaft for his height
There has to be a limit or else this guy would hit it ridiculous lengths
@@venpaxSo this guy should have to play with kids clubs? Let him cook
Why? A tall baseball player doesn’t get to use a longer bat or a bigger glove. A short pole vaulter doesn’t get to use a longer pole. A short high jumper doesn’t get to jump over a lower bar. A big tennis player can’t use a bigger racket. Hockey has limits on the length of a stick or the size of a goalies pads. A longer driver would not only give an advantage on drives but also on penalty drops. A quarterback with small hands doesn’t get to use a smaller ball.
@@maplesirup24baseball players can use whatever size bat or glove they want😂😂
@@maplesirup24 Why are tall basketball players allowed to wear big shoes? The game would be a lot more fair if everyone was the same height.
Summary: He’s tall so he bends his knees more than average.
he should use a 1ft long tee...
Except most of the game is played off the ground. This got me thinking though. Is there a length maximum for all clubs or just the driver? I wonder if his irons are all the same length. Imagine what his wedge swing would look like if it was the same length as everyone else’s.
@@PseudifyI was just thinking Brysons one length irons could help him.
I instantly picked up on his Moe Norman similarities and him setting up on (or near) a single plane.
Much more consistent swing style he has😊way to go!
He definitely has some Byron Nelson and Lee Trevino in his swing. Two of the absolute greatest strikers ever.
They both had VERY long careers
Long story short; he hits the ball farther because he's taller.
Golf distance is all about angles and momentumarm
Such a jarring voice. JAR
I saw Michael Jordan has a similar swing move but clearly not as much of a dip. MJ is tall also.
He looks very much like Moe Norman.
That shaft looks so short for him 😢
He looks a lot like Mo Norman
9 minute video to say a 6’8” guy squats to hit the ball… congrats on the content
It's a lunge
How's his wedge game and putting
Better than yours
Its completely ridiculous that he can't use the appropriate length clubs
Reminds me a lot of Moe Norman, the greatest ball striker ever
Height might be a factor, but you still have to have your swing mechanics dialed in. I have a friend who is 6’11” and he can only hit his driver about 225 carry. And that’s swinging as hard as he can.
Very true.
You're comparing a hacker to a pro... That is like saying your 7'2 friend cannot dunk a basketball therefore height isn't a huge physical advantage in basketball.
Height IS a factor, not “might be”. It’s physics - longer levers. Your friend can only hit 225 because he’s terrible, but it’s all relative. If he was 5’11” he’d probably hit it 185.
What’s going he’s 6’8 thats whats going on!
This could've been a 2 min video
Hope that left knee doesn't get injured
He’s a very tall Lee Trevino...
Too bad golf isn’t just about distance.
Own you swing.
He never had a coach...yeah okay
To make the golf game fair, they should let taller players swing shorter clubs and let short people swing longer clubs
Should of played tennis
You cant play golf like that, he’s losing his levels and his head moves too much…
-every armchair specialist whos played golf for 20 years and cant break 85 or whatever

He must not be able to hit a wedge since he's so tall, poor guy.
He will have a serious back injure in the future, players should play what is comfortable for them .I'm glad that I play for fun and not for money...
You say that like it was a choice 🤣
Yeah if his shaft was 6 inch longer wouldn’t have that chilly leg dip
The problem with golf is , everyone has their own swing. 99% of golf teachers lack this knowledge. A great teacher adapts the swing to the golfer.
We're learning that whatever analytics are in place, they're clearly wrong and out of touch with the current pulse of todays young-golfer. _Good luck explaining this one, lol..._
rip patella tendon
That's a fair point. How will his body cope with that? I mean zalatoris is a great example.. you can have a great swing but you need also to make it last. I'm no expert so don't know what parts Christo is bound to hurt.. I'd like to know!
Excuses.
