Yeah but what is AR’s exit velocity? ‍

On a golf ball??? 130-140 or even a little more.

Looks like a 5 wood or a 7 wood to me; certainly not a driver.

The classic baseball player golf swing. Very steep, tons of speed and athleticism to square it up. Lot of slices in his future. 

Yea looks a little over the top there

I would bet his ball speed is probably closer to 170

Glad to see Hall’s elbow isn’t stopping him from hitting golf balls.

That's a Phil-esque backswing from Rutschman!!! Elbow breaking down a little bit and then diving at it. Not as a dramatically as Rodriguez though (!)

Looks like Hall has the best (driver) swing mechanics of the three of them. Good tempo.

I'm not sure about that. In my prime I could hit 90-95. Couple long hitters I played with touched 105. A decent PGA player hits 120 ish. John Daly in his prime hit 130-140.

I'm not sure 170 is even humanly possible. Maybe with a machine.

Are you talking ball speed or swing speed?   From what I read, ball speed tends to be about 1.5 times swing speed.    https://golftips.golfweek.usatoday.com/golf-tips-swing-speed-2325.html

I was talking about ball speed not club head speed. Bryson Deschambu  is always trying to reach 200 ball speed.

There are golf ball trajectory simulators like this one. We know people can hit golf balls 350+ yards, but with the simulator the only way you can get there is a ball velocity in excess of 200 mph.

You can also do the math on an idealized projectile, and if a 80 mph object launched at 25 degrees will go 330 feet, you have to launch the same thing 140 mph to go the 1000 feet of a long hitter's golf ball.

I'd rather see him on the range than on a golf course -- less chance of injury. Mini-golf would be ever better.

I was thinking about it. I did mix up clubhead speed with EV.

Never mind.
