It was an honor to compete against Mitchell. He can definitely contend with the best long drivers in the world. One day it would be awesome to see him make a run at the World Long Drive Championship. As a huge fan of strength sports it’s cool to meet the World’s Strongest Man. Mitchell is such a nice guy in person - truly embodies the LHBK motto. Including the Swingplates shout-out is much appreciated.
@@mitchellhooperstrongman Well done Mate! I would also love to see more golf content, maybe try Speedgolf!!!!! Really impressive tho, usually i catch videos where eddie hall as athletic and beastly as he is, doesn't get that limber and perfect on technique!
U really making the most of your WSM title with all this next level content. Best thing you could have done for yourself after winning. TH-cam is a cash cow if u do it right
Most long drive Champs are rather large actually, but ofc no need to be as muscular (or fat) as a Strongman. Now, have you ever seen an Olympic shot put throw? That's huge dudes doing ballet!
Damn, this is super impressive, I used to compete in LD back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It's crazy how how good the competition has got, back then then you wouldn't see many guys breaking 210mph until you went to Worlds. I knew you were a good golfer and obviously a great well rounded athlete so to be honest I am only somewhat surprised by your results here but mostly because I would imagine you are giving up a lot of club head speed and flexibility due to the strongman specific training. Wouldn't be surprised to see you compete in LD maybe in the future. Anyway, this is super impressive.
To have the level of flexibility and dexterity you have while also being that strong is like unheard of. You have such a smooth swing for such a huge guy. Amazing athleticism.
I don’t know how much time you spent hitting balls before this comp but my impression is if you got semi-serious about it, maybe in the off season, you could become known in the long ball community and open the door to a whole new segment of subscribers. Maybe pick up a sponsor or two.
200+ ball speed? Just muscles don’t get you that. No disrespect but never in my life did I expect to click this video and watch you absolutely stripe it lol
Mitch man, you are beyond impressive. You're clearly a very cerebral guy, and I'm blown away with your coordination outside of just being a "strongman". You're a freak athlete and a genuinely great human being; once in a century kinda guy. Edit: with the shocker glove alone, I knew you were a golf guy.
What 's most impressive to me is how that ball takes SO many smashes without failing! Somehow I'd think that there can only be a limited number of times it can be compressed before it starts to lose rebound ability. Slo-mo video shows the ball being compressed nearly in half...that's amazing.
Fun video. Just a point of clarification. The grooves on a driver don't change the spin. The real reason is that it allows finer manufacturing tolerances and less cost. You are trying to get a thin face and maximum COR, and it's harder to achieve that with a durable long drive head if you have grooves. The main purpose of grooves in a golf club is to channel away dirt and moisture to ensure the ball has maximum contact with the face. Just like a car tire channeling away water.
I played hockey against Cody Billinghurst in Blind River Ontario. The next time I see him, I feel the need to bow down. His slap shot got by me all the time!!
I am utterly amazed that u can drive it that far! Mean no disrespect at ALL. Excess muscles usually hinder distance. U are obviously flexible and have amazing hand eye coordination with good technique. Mad props 👏
5:54 ONE HUNDRED-EIGHTYYYYYYYYY The absolute worst thing for me to hear when I'm trying to get to sleep and suddenly WE HAVE A GAME ON OUR HANDS, BOYS!
Okay... as a 30-year golf pro, this is IMPRESSIVE!! I thought this was going to be a caveman killing his lunch... and yet here we have a seriously skilled BIG MAN! Never seen you in my life but looking forward to seeing more!
This was actually a great video, but why did you put "580 YARDS" in the thumbnail if that was never in the video? Please don't put lies in your thumbnail just to click bait people..
Would love to see you do a video with borgmeier or Berkshire. Also you have so much to gain technique wise and you already have 210 ballspeed which is insane.
Another pro tip for darts, triple 19 is a better choice in some cases because the miss will grant you more points and the hits are only 3 points off of the trip 20. If you miss 20, you get a 5 or a 1. You miss 19 you get a 3 or 7 💪
I find the hips get ahead of my body when I rush the backswing. If I slow the back swing, 'patient at the top' as the top guy said, then everything is primed to engage at once and the hit is clean.
What an athlete. What an enigma. What an anomaly. What a swing! Mitch surprised me with his first swing. I was expecting a big, strong, man to hack at the ball with something resembling a golf swing. But, Mitchell…nice. We all must remember that this giant of a man is an athlete who just happens to have a modicum of strength.
Look at some straight on slow motion, videos of these guys technique at P6 how far in their hands are over their trail thigh where the shaft is still horizontal to the ground also, how much their hips have turned over on their lead leg pulling away this is why float loading is so important
One tip for you I can see from here. I can also drive a ball like no ones business and gained a lot of muscle between my first and best drives. You need to aim AT the ball not through it. It looks like your power is leading in front of the ball. I bet you'd gain more just by trying to imagine you're trying to smash and break the ball not swinging through it. Let the follow through be relaxed from contact forward.
I wouldn't have expected a WSM to have that level of coordination and flexibility to compete in long drive...no disrespect to strong men, but I also wouldn't expect a pro golfer/long driver to be at all competitive in WSM. Bravo
Mitchell, could you explain the factors involved in the ability to drive a ball regarding muscle weight + muscle resistance vs. rotational torque and all of that! I'm curious what parts of the body in a strongman that are working against you!

Mitchell you’re a new breed of strongman, the amount of content you put out is amazing!
Glad you’re enjoying all the content 💪💪
I love all this. Playing different sports, trying different routines and diets, collaborations. Really entertaining stuff.
@mitchellhooperstrongman a drug cheat being out powered and still thinking he is skilled?
To see you be so big and strong yet nimble and all around athletic is truly impressive. Definitely wouldn’t mind seeing some golf content from you
I have a couple videos on my page from last summer! th-cam.com/video/mv0Mpu4GRJs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DSKKO3AMWmjfM95J
At the top level of everything most are well rounded and then also highly specified in their own sport.
True.
For a strongman, he sure is an all-around athlete.

@@cragg07considering he's had this channel for barely 2yrs. And has had over 20million views. That equals over $80,000 in monetization.
you should try all the olympic throwing events, like javelin, shot put and discus, it would be really good to watch!
Love the diversity of the content. Wasnt expecting to see a strongmsn hit 380+ at all today, or frankly ever. Great stuff Mitch
220 ball speed, mate that’s absolutely elite. Great work.
That swing is unbelievably impressive considering the size of you! What an athlete.

Mitch maybe the greatest all around athlete to ever win world's strongest man. Crazy talented!!!
Not to mention going ham on TH-cam! He's such a hardworking talented guy. Gets the hang of things pretty quickly💯💪🏽🔥🏀🏈⛳️
Pretty cool having the WSM at your event. Moose is helping everyone he can come in contact with. What a guy.
Man this is impressive. To be as strong as you are and swing a golf club like that. I have a new favorite strongman/golfer.
To have the level of flexibility and dexterity you have while also being that strong is like unheard of. You have such a smooth swing for such a huge guy. Amazing athleticism.

Very impressed with the swing!! Way to go. Great technique!
"Patient at the top" - that is so true for golf at any level.
1. Strongest doesn't mean the fastest. 2 You have a good swing
I did not expect this. Mitchell actually knows his stuff and has an amazing swing.
Mitch man, you are beyond impressive. You're clearly a very cerebral guy, and I'm blown away with your coordination outside of just being a "strongman". You're a freak athlete and a genuinely great human being; once in a century kinda guy.
Edit: with the shocker glove alone, I knew you were a golf guy.
It's refreshing seeing a big guy that can actually smash a ball.
Mitchell stands like he's sitting on an elephant but then I realized you're supposed to stand with your feet shoulder width apart lmao

The worlds strongest man just explain long drive like no one else. Thank you
This was freekin fun bro!! Of course all the dudes would love more long drive/golf stuff from the Strongest King!💪😎👍
Congrats on winning the World Strongest Man, Mitchell I was really impressed with how you dominated the field....

You’ve definitely played golf before to hit drives like that , that’s insane for a strongman . Great technique
Really nice swing for a big guy!!
I'm impressed GO MOOSE!!!
💪💪💪
Incredible to think about actor Powers Boothe's 490 yard long drive "Golden Pumpkin" record back in the day. Great to see today's efforts
Yeah, wild! 💪💪
I played hockey against Cody Billinghurst in Blind River Ontario. The next time I see him, I feel the need to bow down. His slap shot got by me all the time!!

Absolute incredible, you are such a inspiration with your atlethic skills. So fun to follow you, all the best in the future!
5:54 ONE HUNDRED-EIGHTYYYYYYYYY
The absolute worst thing for me to hear when I'm trying to get to sleep and suddenly WE HAVE A GAME ON OUR HANDS, BOYS!
Respect. What a versatile sportsman. Congratulations for nearly 400 yds.
Mitch is a Great Ambassador for WSM. 🤘😎
You have a nice swing for long drive contests. Keep at it
Thanks 😊
Wow,thats really impressive Mitch..had no idea you were into golf,that’s awesome!
Your content gives so much of that vibe that Jujimufu's content had back when he had Tom around- consider finding a sidekick HAHAHA
This is the one of the most impressive things I've seen. 216 ball speed ...
Okay... as a 30-year golf pro, this is IMPRESSIVE!!
I thought this was going to be a caveman killing his lunch... and yet here we have a seriously skilled BIG MAN!
Never seen you in my life but looking forward to seeing more!
Little secret- he played competitive golf when he was younger. He mentioned it in one of his videos awhile back.
@@thetowndrunk988 makes a heap of sense... Thanks.
I have sinve seen a lot more of him and understand his incredible exercise and sports journey.
Moose bringing the HEAT!!
Cody nearly turned into Shoresy at 18:55
This was actually a great video, but why did you put "580 YARDS" in the thumbnail if that was never in the video? Please don't put lies in your thumbnail just to click bait people..
For context, the top pros are regularly hitting 445, and the world record is a freakish 545.
Would love to see you do a video with borgmeier or Berkshire. Also you have so much to gain technique wise and you already have 210 ballspeed which is insane.
That last drive was absolutely ridiculous!
awesome to see u into golf
Been waiting for this!!!
210mph ball speed is pretty ridiculous, didn’t expect the WSM to have such a swing. Incredible
I did not expect to see such a great swing.
Is there anything this man can’t do or hasn’t already done? THE MOOSE FTW
Another pro tip for darts, triple 19 is a better choice in some cases because the miss will grant you more points and the hits are only 3 points off of the trip 20. If you miss 20, you get a 5 or a 1. You miss 19 you get a 3 or 7 💪
Another GREAT ENTERTAINING video man!
Mitch is the Curt Hennig (Mr Perfect) of the strongman world.
💪💪
You've done it all GREAT rep for canada and the sport. Much love moose
I find the hips get ahead of my body when I rush the backswing. If I slow the back swing, 'patient at the top' as the top guy said, then everything is primed to engage at once and the hit is clean.
I want to see you try the highland games with the Stoltman brothers
Great job, Mitch!! I absolutely love seeing the myth of "unathletic" Strongman being dismantled!!! Love this content!!!
Really good hitting from you!!
Hahah no way, the few months I get into long drive and strongman, you make a video on it. What a life :)
“This is the flicking thing I’m doing” hits ball 360 yards
What an athlete. What an enigma. What an anomaly. What a swing! Mitch surprised me with his first swing. I was expecting a big, strong, man to hack at the ball with something resembling a golf swing. But, Mitchell…nice. We all must remember that this giant of a man is an athlete who just happens to have a modicum of strength.
He was a competitive golfer as a kid. Definitely super athletic, but just wanted to point it out. He knows how to swing a club.
You should collab with Kyle Berkshire and @thebombersclub for a speed training lesson/session!
LOL, the club flip at 16:57
He was fired up 😂
Finally squared it up on the last ball, and a club toss just happened lol
@@mitchellhooperstrongman

Contact Good Good or Rick Shiels or Bob does Sports.
I’m sure they would love to have the WSM who can golf and crush the Ball. Good cross over.
The overall knowledge you have in so many fields is incredible!! I really enjoy watching your videos. Go and win WSM 2024
Love this content Mitch!!
What a legend
Dude you have to try shot put next. Would be awesome to see how you perform.
Good shout, does anyone else think this is a point of interest? 🤔🤔
@@mitchellhooperstrongmanme! do a mini decathlon competition/track day; 100m, long jump, shotput.
Yes I agree and the highland games toss a caber
@@mitchellhooperstrongman yes I would love to see this. Maybe you could train with Ryan Crouser and do some lifts and throws.
You might never see a Strongman with such a solid swing.
I didn't think 'ol Mitch would drop that F-bomb when he was looking at his first round accuracy. 😅
One tip for you I can see from here. I can also drive a ball like no ones business and gained a lot of muscle between my first and best drives. You need to aim AT the ball not through it.

You planning on competing in any wld events in the coming year?
Wild that you are competing on par with these guys. Edit saw your bit about golf history and now it’s not so amazing
Could have left the edited part out 😂😂
I cant be the only person disapointed this was done on a simulator. I want to see a real drives going that far.
that little tuft of hair that got missed is buggin me. besides that, great vid haha :)
love the golf content. Mitchell you are a beast in the long drive you could compete on a world level with some practice .
Freaking amazing. Well done
Love to see a Kiwi in amongst all this!
A collaboration with Bryson DeChambeau needs to happen!!!
People don’t realize how insane it is to hit the ball that far. Most pros don’t come close to that.
I thought Brian Shaw was playing golf now when I saw this thumb nail. 😜😜😜
Mitchell, could you explain the factors involved in the ability to drive a ball regarding muscle weight + muscle resistance vs. rotational torque and all of that! I'm curious what parts of the body in a strongman that are working against you!
Mitchell and golf content. Hell yes
💪💪
This video was really good
Earned a sub, your videos are awesome man! Well done sir
Man this guy is Bryson Deeeeeeechambooooo on steroids! Brilliant video and pretty good golfer as well
That is so impressive!! Would love to play a round of golf with you!!
humble world class athlete
Time to get in a episode with the Good Good or Fore Play guys
I'd like to see Mitch vs Eddie Hall in golf, swimming, running, basketball, and darts.
big muscular guys are not supposed to have that fluid of a swing. Well done, well done!
The tea off drive is the easiest part of golf and the most fun. Like Happy Gilmore the short game is by far the hardest.
Muscles and clever that is a crazy combo
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
