Bryson DeChambeau in awe as Kyle Berkshire crushes 8-iron over 300 yards!
Bryson DeChambeau can't believe his eyes as Kyle Berkshire hits an 8-iron past the 300-yard mark...
Bryson DeChambeau might be the longest hitter on the PGA Tour right now, but he doesn't stand a chance when he's up against the reigning World Long Drive champion Kyle Berkshire.
DeChambeau was left in amazement after watching Berkshire crush an 8-iron to 302.5 yards total distance while on a golf simulator. He carried the ball over 290 yards and also achieved a 169.4 mph ball speed in the process. Watch the video below:
"Ooh, that might have done it," said Bryson as the ball was in the air. "That's further than the average Tour driver!"
The average ball speed for an 8-iron on the PGA Tour is around the 120 mph mark, with an average carry of 170 yards.
That is some 50 mph shy of Berkshire's carry distance and 120 yards shy of his carry distance!
Berkshire frequently posts videos on his Instagram page, where he boasts over 200,000 followers, showing his fans some absolute bombs and not just with his driver.
Earlier in the year, Berkshire hit a lob wedge 260 yards! The numbers that appeared on the Trackman monitor after the shot were incredible, reaching a 115 mph clubhead speed and 158 mph ball speed. Watch that effort in the video below:
To put things into perspective, according to Trackman, the average clubhead speed on the PGA Tour with a driver is 113mph and an average of 167mph ball speed.
