Guys that is awesome! What percentage of players in the world can drive it over 300 yards?

If you read WRX it appears to be 90% of it’s membership ?

I can hit it just as far as Jamie…with a driver and a 7 iron! OK, maybe a 5 iron!

It was actually a lot closer than I expected. Harry hits it a long way as well. Why isn’t he on Tour? LOL

Harry is I think a solid +2 or+3. But even he will tell you thats a long way from the PGA Tour. The mini tours are filled with +2 to +4 that just never make it to the PGA Tour. As they say “These guys are good” ?

They wouldn’t let Sam play? I did see John Barba sitting safely back in the distance watching

Very safely. A man’s got to know his limitations…

Was that Jaimies Gamer? He said it was built for accuracy.

He has a gamer for when he’s playing in tournaments and then he has his long drive sticks. Two different animals.

Man Sadlowski only had it on Cruise Control. Just remember folks…this is the guy that broke “The Golf Channel’s” simulator by driving a ball right through the screen. I love those huge drives, and he seems to have slicked out his swing quite a bit over the years. Now it’s smooth and deadly— no longer straight up brute force ala slap shot.

Harry’s swing is effortless, so smooth and yet so far. Love it!
