What if I told you in today's episode, we are going to meet two of the longest drivers on the planet of the golf ball.
Now imagine going to the driving range, teeing up the ball and hitting the ball so hard with your driver that you end up cracking the golf ball not once, but multiple times during your range session. Now, I'm great at imagining things, I am. But this one was hard for me to wrap my head around. This happens all the time to lawn drive guys.
On today's episode, we meet Sam Attanasio | Pro Long Driver and his Bus. Training partner Bryce Mooney /Pro Long Driver. Sam is one of three people on the planet to record a ball speed of over 240 mph! Bryce hit a drive in competition last year of over 433 yards! They have a secret weapon that could take their training and results further and they reveal what that weapon is on the podcast. Here's the kicker, you can actually use the same weapon in your own gain to quickly add tons of distance to your game.
This one was one of my favorite interviews. These guys are extremely likable and their stories are so relatable and interesting.
Let us know what you think and this is the fist episode to what is turning out to be an amazing year for the pod already. We have multiple large collaborations confirmed and scheduled that will take our audience on an exciting ride this year.

00:00:00
It. Now imagine going to the driving range, teeing up the
00:00:04
ball and hitting the ball so hard with your driver that
00:00:07
you end up cracking the golf ball
00:00:11
not once, but multiple times during your range
00:00:14
session. Now, I'm great at imagining things, I am.
00:00:18
But this one was hard for me to wrap my head around. This happens all
00:00:21
the time to lawn drive guys. And by the way, side note, I think your
00:00:24
penis should grow an inch every time you crack a golf ball, because you deserve
00:00:27
it. I mean, I've hit some amazing golf shots and some bombs, but I have
00:00:30
never come close to cracking a golf ball. When I saw Kyle
00:00:34
Berkshire's video late last year of him smashing the world's
00:00:38
longest drive at 579
00:00:41
yards, I was intrigued by not only him and his beautiful hair, but the
00:00:45
long drive scene in general. And what's crazy to me is his ball
00:00:49
speed was
00:00:50
233. Fastest ball
00:00:53
speed on the PGA Tour is cam champ, and that's around
00:00:57
180. Like the high 180s, it's
00:01:01
like a 45 miles an hour difference. 230
00:01:04
miles per hour. Ball speed is not something that even thought was possible
00:01:08
a few years ago, like in August 2022, Berkshire says on an
00:01:12
instagram post that showcased a video of him breaking 236, a world record
00:01:16
at the time. This is one of my proudest moments of all
00:01:19
time. I've been working my tail off for the last three years
00:01:23
to scratch and claw my way from
00:01:25
230 next speed benchmark of
00:01:28
235 in October
00:01:33
this past year, October 2023, he would set
00:01:36
another world record of 241
00:01:40
mph ball speed. This is really the story
00:01:43
of the four minute mile reincarnated. And like all other savants in their respective sport,
00:01:47
there are really two things I see that have changed for the long drive
00:01:51
boys. Number one mindset. When you start believing anything
00:01:55
is possible, it becomes possible. Something a walk off
00:01:58
albatross taught me. And I bring it up all the time. These guys give me
00:02:01
shit for it, but that's what it taught me. Now the other is training. Now.
00:02:04
In today's world data driven insights, it's possible now to train so specifically
00:02:08
that you can target precise points in the swing to
00:02:11
drastically increase your swing speed, which
00:02:15
ultimately reflects ball speed. In today's episode, I'm so excited to
00:02:19
share the story of two competitors who may have a jump
00:02:22
on all the major swing aid brands with their new speed training
00:02:26
aid called Speed Toad. And what makes them immediately credible other
00:02:30
than them both being successful at competing on the long drive professional
00:02:33
tour? One of them just recorded an incredible
00:02:36
240 miles per hour ball speed
00:02:39
on social and he's probably one of, like, two or three people on the planet
00:02:43
to do it. And the other recorded a drive of over 433
00:02:47
yards in competition last year. Now, let me bring you back to that original question.
00:02:51
Can you imagine cracking multiple golf balls in an average
00:02:54
range session? This is a common thing for these boys. Common
00:02:58
problem. Bryce and Sam from Speed toad shared their long drive
00:03:01
journeys on this week's episode of did I tell you about my
00:03:05
albatross? Did I tell you about my
00:03:08
albatross?
00:03:12
Welcome to another episode of did I tell you about my albatross? I'm
00:03:16
your host, Albie. This is the golf podcast for honest degenerates. It's
00:03:20
like teeing up with your favorite forsome every week and diving into the best stories
00:03:24
in and around golf. You guys ready to tee off? Let's go.
00:03:27
We added chilling, man. I really appreciate you guys hopping on here. I wanted to
00:03:31
reach out to you because, first of all, I've been following you guys on social
00:03:33
for quite a while, and I just love what you're doing there. I mean, for
00:03:37
one thing, just so you guys know a little bit about me, I am a
00:03:40
swing aid guru. It's just my thing. I'm the guy at the
00:03:44
country club that have. I have, like, 45 swing. Literally, I actually have
00:03:47
38. I counted them. I'm doing this new segment, actually, it's ridiculous. I'm doing this
00:03:51
new segment called Swing Aid Saturday where I'm going to break
00:03:54
down all these swing aids that I have just in my
00:03:58
garage and just give people my honest opinion, because a lot of them are like
00:04:02
snake oil. And then every now and then, you'll find a really good one that
00:04:05
works. And I got to tell you, man, I got yours in the mail probably
00:04:08
about a week and a half ago, and I've only had a chance to use
00:04:11
it twice, but I love it. I think it could really
00:04:15
improve things. Awesome. I'm going to pick your brain a little bit about that,
00:04:19
but let's just start with some introductions, man. If you don't mind just introducing yourself,
00:04:22
I think that'd be great. So, yeah. Bryce Mooney. Sam
00:04:25
and I both live in the Nashville area. I'm just outside in
00:04:29
Franklin, Tennessee. And I played baseball
00:04:32
growing up, as a lot of long drivers did, and
00:04:36
through college, played at University of Washington, Oregon State, and then
00:04:40
I was a pitcher. My shoulder gave out. And so for the
00:04:44
next nine years after baseball, I decided to run long distance.
00:04:48
So I ran marathons for, like, nine years. Totally random.
00:04:52
I never ran long distance before that. They'd make the pitchers run
00:04:55
like a mile, and it was death to me. I
00:04:59
ran marathons for nine years and then kind of got tired of it
00:05:03
and figured I'd take up long drive, and that's kind of how
00:05:06
I got in the sport almost two years ago. Now, that's crazy,
00:05:10
man. I'm a little bit less crazy than running marathons. So my name
00:05:14
is Sam. I played baseball when I was little
00:05:17
and ended up getting sick and had some health issues. So I had
00:05:21
to pick a sport that I had to play by myself basically whenever
00:05:25
I wanted. I couldn't organize it around a team, so we lived on a golf
00:05:29
course. So I started picking up golf and shooting 120
00:05:32
the first couple of times out. And then within the next year, I became a
00:05:36
scratch golfer and made my high school team. And I golf for a couple of
00:05:39
years, ended up getting to a plus three handicap, had the scholarship to play golf
00:05:42
at college in a small little NAIA school, and then
00:05:46
ended up having more health issues. So that kicked my butt again. And I took
00:05:49
a hiatus from golf for, like five years. Just started picking up a club
00:05:53
again about two years ago now and immediately got back in the
00:05:57
long drive. I was hitting the ball pretty far in high school, and so that
00:06:01
always piqued my interest because I got kind of bored hitting four irons off every
00:06:04
tee and then hit the green. And you either one putt or two putt, and
00:06:07
it got very repetitive. So I started getting in the habit of trying to drive
00:06:11
every green like most long drivers do. And so when I came back into golf,
00:06:14
I was like, I knew exactly where I needed to be. This is fascinating to
00:06:18
me, man. Let me just say a little bit about me. So I'm down here
00:06:21
in Tampa, and I've got two little ones. So I used to be a lot
00:06:25
better at golf. I don't golf as often as. It's still a huge passion of
00:06:28
mine. I'm like a four or five handicap. But, dude, I'd love
00:06:32
to get your opinion on this. By the way, I have what could be one
00:06:35
of the greatest. Now, this is going to sound really arrogant and cocky, and
00:06:39
I don't mean for it to be. It's just a lucky shot. I get it.
00:06:42
But, dude, it could be possibly one of the luckiest shots of all time.
00:06:46
So let me paint a picture here for you. 2020 member?
00:06:49
Member my budy and I, two day tournament. We get up to the
00:06:53
18th tee, par five. We finish on this hole called pine
00:06:57
one at our club, and I hit a good drive, which
00:07:00
was surprising because I was all over the place that whole entire weekend. But good
00:07:04
drive goes in the fairway. I was like,
00:07:07
247 out, and I hit a three wood. It
00:07:11
goes in. That's not even the crazy part. We go in and we turn our
00:07:15
scorecard in, and we find out, like, we didn't have live scoring or anything, but
00:07:18
we find out that going into that hole, we were three shots back from
00:07:22
the lead. So with that three wood albatross walk off,
00:07:26
we ended up tying for the win in the tournament. So that's my claim to
00:07:30
fame in golf. I'm not like, but that's insane. It's crazy, dude.
00:07:34
I thought I was going to be famous. I thought right away, scott Van Pelt's
00:07:36
going to be interviewing me. I thought I'm going to be on, like, I thought
00:07:39
I would be doing Fallon. Like I was going to have to choose. None of
00:07:42
that happened. No one cares, dude. No one cares about my gossip, right? So I'm
00:07:45
like, all right, everyone's so sick of me talking about, I'm going to start a
00:07:48
podcast and tell the entire world about it until I do get interviewed by Scott
00:07:51
Van Pelt or until I do get my name out there. But I guess my
00:07:54
point of describing all that, so that's my connection with golf, basically,
00:07:58
this whole podcast and everything is about how anything's possible. It
00:08:01
literally changed things for me. I'm actually a sales guy. That's what I do
00:08:05
for a living. I work for a large tech company, and I'm an outside sales.
00:08:09
But for me, I've lived my entire life
00:08:13
differently now because I feel like anything truly is possible. And
00:08:16
so I love having stories like you guys. Everyone
00:08:20
wants to be able to hit the ball farther. It's so
00:08:24
funny because I feel like even when I'm driving the ball really well,
00:08:28
if I just focus on my short game and chipping and putting,
00:08:32
that would be a much better approach. But for you guys,
00:08:36
it is such a huge advantage to be able to drive it and then drive
00:08:39
it consistently farther. At what point did you guys realize, like, oh,
00:08:43
wait, I could actually do something from a long drive perspective,
00:08:47
your. Story is like the epitome of why we play golf. Because
00:08:51
it's that one shot. It's the one shot that keeps you coming
00:08:54
back. And whether it's a good drive or an albatross.
00:08:59
No, Sam, go ahead. That's exactly. I just read the story online, and it was
00:09:02
a woman's second time playing golf with her husband, who's been playing for
00:09:06
20 years, and she gets a nine, nine, nine and then
00:09:09
115 yards, she hits a hole in one with a driver on a par three
00:09:13
and then goes, nine, nine, nine. That was the shot that
00:09:17
probably kept. Her coming, of course. That's great. Wow. So for me, again, I
00:09:21
hit it long way in high school, so it always piqued my interest to be
00:09:25
like, oh, I wonder if I can do a long drive event. So me and
00:09:27
my dad drove out. We lived in Arizona at the time. We drove out to
00:09:31
California for a local qualifier event, and I got
00:09:35
to hit in this local qualifier and ended up going
00:09:38
393. And I needed, like,
00:09:41
398 in that set to end up advancing to the regional qualifier. And I was
00:09:44
like, I can do this. I'm 17. I absolutely can do this. And actually, it
00:09:48
was the next month that I had my health issues kick up, and I had
00:09:52
to stop. But that event right there was
00:09:55
Kyle Berkshire's first event, too. He was in that local qualifier.
00:09:59
So as I'm in bed, basically bedridden
00:10:03
for five years, I'm watching him live out the
00:10:06
career that I always thought I could have. And I was always in the position
00:10:10
of saying, you know what? That could be me. That could have been me. And
00:10:13
I think a bunch of people started getting tired of hearing me, except for my
00:10:17
mom and dad, who are going, yeah, that could have been, and it will be
00:10:20
one day. And I was like, I'm sick. I can't do, like, that's not me
00:10:22
anymore. And they kept saying it and saying it and saying it. So finally, when
00:10:25
I picked it back up, it was immediately like, all right, now I got to
00:10:28
show everyone, like, that still can be me. Oh, that's awesome, man. How's your health
00:10:32
right now? A lot better. I'm still dealing with stuff kind of continually. It'll
00:10:36
be a battle for a while. So I have Lyme disease. I also had a
00:10:39
traumatic brain injury, so that's kind of a battle
00:10:43
that might never go away. But I have my good times, I have my bad
00:10:46
times. But luckily, by the grace of God, I am in a position where
00:10:50
I can train the majority of the time. Oh, man, what a great story. Well,
00:10:54
I mean, it's just. Dude, kudos to you, man. I think you're doing
00:10:57
it. I sincerely believe that
00:11:01
truly, anything is possible, man. You just have to believe it. And
00:11:05
for me, at least in almost all aspects of my life, I've had
00:11:09
to almost fake it until I made it, and then it just sort of happens.
00:11:11
You just sort of play the role, and then I don't know how to describe
00:11:15
it, but anyway, man, well, thanks for sharing that. That's really interesting.
00:11:19
Don't let Sam cut himself short all while going through all that adversity.
00:11:23
He just finished his doctorate this year and is now
00:11:26
a. Oh, congrats, dude. Wow, that's amazing.
00:11:30
Yeah, I was a little study bug, so when I was home in bed not
00:11:33
doing anything, I ended up taking my bachelor's and master's concurrently, and
00:11:37
then a second master's concurrently with a PhD and doctorate. So
00:11:41
I was having 36 course hours per semester, taking, like,
00:11:44
quadruple loads. And just. That's all I was doing 12 hours a day just to
00:11:48
try. What was your major, and what was it again? So, a couple. I got
00:11:51
a bachelor's in business. I have a master's in exercise science, and
00:11:55
I have a doctorate in natural medicine. So my actual
00:11:58
career is helping people go through what I went through because I have a lot
00:12:01
of the book knowledge mixed with real life experience, so I help a lot of
00:12:05
people in that aspect. And then, obviously, the exercise science. I also have a lot
00:12:09
of strength and conditioning certifications and sports nutrition and things like that. So I get
00:12:12
to use that in my actual life of long drive and
00:12:16
developing products like the speed toad. Well, I want to get into that. I mean,
00:12:20
Bryce, I didn't mean to cut you off, too. Were you going to say something
00:12:22
before that? No, just throw Sam the kudos. And then
00:12:26
how him and I met real quick. So I
00:12:30
finished my last marathon in December of 21
00:12:34
in Memphis, and in January, my golfing
00:12:37
buddies, just like you, my Friday group, was telling me, Bryce, you got to see
00:12:41
how far you can hit it. You got to see how far you can hit
00:12:43
it. I run the marathon in December, and then, like, two
00:12:46
weeks later, my back is still just absolutely wrecked. And I get
00:12:50
on my club's track, man, and I put up, like,
00:12:54
185 ball speed, I think. And I was like, well, that's not
00:12:57
fancy, but that's pretty good for the condition of my body right now.
00:13:01
I just ran 26 miles. So then I was like, well, let's see what I
00:13:05
can do. This was in 2022, so last year. And so I
00:13:09
get my talk speed training aids. I get my light speed stick
00:13:13
up to, like, 145 or 46, something like that. I
00:13:16
was like, you know what? I should give this a go. And I create a
00:13:20
little instagram, which is now my instagram, and I'm talking my
00:13:23
third post. I put location, Franklin, Tennessee.
00:13:27
Like, second or third post? Sam messages me. Hey,
00:13:31
are you near Nashville? You're Franklin. He's like, yeah, he's like, you want to come
00:13:34
over and hit in my garage? I was, uh, yeah, sure. Why not?
00:13:38
Oh, wow. And so that was, like, last July. And
00:13:41
so ever since then, a year and a half, like every single
00:13:45
Monday and sometimes a Friday, we'll hit together. We
00:13:48
train. It's been like a year and a half. It's pretty crazy. Forget my ignorance
00:13:52
here on the long drive stuff. And by the way, you guys have a great
00:13:55
training, I guess, series that goes along with the aid, which we'll get into here
00:13:59
in just a second. But I think, how would someone
00:14:03
just get into it? Is there a
00:14:07
specific type of coach or a specific type of instructor that you'd go to separate?
00:14:11
That would be because I go to a regular PGA professional.
00:14:14
So there are a lot of different aspects of long drive. I mean, we're just
00:14:17
talking, actually, we built the ball speed pyramid and the distance
00:14:20
pyramid, which is, if you want to hit the ball further, it starts by, you
00:14:24
got to have the right spin, you got to have the right angle of attack.
00:14:27
You got to launch it correctly. But past that, you can't really obtain
00:14:31
more distance. The next step is you need to gain ball speed, because that's how
00:14:34
the ball ends up going further. And from that, to gain ball speed, you just
00:14:37
have to hit it in the center of the face. Once you're tapped there, what
00:14:40
comes next? Which is club speed. So you can go to different coaches,
00:14:44
normal PGA coaches for the first one and for the second one,
00:14:48
but for the third one, it kind of takes a special coach to start developing
00:14:51
that. One of the benefits of us is we ended up doing this all by
00:14:54
ourselves, so we didn't have a coach. We sat in my garage, and we figured
00:14:58
it out ourselves, and we looked at each other's swings and said, okay, well, you
00:15:01
do this really well, and I do this really well. Where's the disconnect in our
00:15:04
swings? Like, how can I implement that in my swing? And you implement this,
00:15:08
and through training and practice and repetition after repetition,
00:15:12
you start develop more of a long drive swing, which is actually putting speed at
00:15:15
the golf ball, optimizing flight a little bit. But the biggest thing
00:15:19
is just overspeed training. So that's where speed training aids come in with the speed
00:15:22
toad and swing really fast and then just hitting ball after ball to prep your
00:15:26
nervous system to move faster and more efficiently. I feel like that's probably one of
00:15:30
my biggest problems, is because I'll hit a couple out of bounds
00:15:34
or I'll hook. I'm a hooker. One
00:15:38
of the co hosts on our podcast, we call him Panda. We all go by
00:15:41
our head covers. Like, this guy just had an amazing panda headcover when I met
00:15:44
him and his first name, I was wondering how that
00:15:48
dude. His first name is really Laken. And I'm like, I'm never going to remember
00:15:51
that. I'm just going to call you Panda from now on. Of course, I'm Albie
00:15:55
because I got an albatross. And then my other budies, his name's
00:15:59
Shepard or Koala. We bounce around with him. But anyway, but my
00:16:03
point is, he's a PJ teaching pro. He's been
00:16:07
working with me for a couple of years now and really good.
00:16:11
I've seen a lot of instructors. He's actually really one of the better ones. But
00:16:14
for me, I guess my point is he's got me as, like, a reformed hooker
00:16:18
now, but I'll still snipe a couple occasionally out
00:16:22
of bounds. And when that happens, what I'll naturally do is then I
00:16:25
will try to almost ease up or almost be timid and
00:16:29
don't swing at the ball. Almost steer it, which is even
00:16:33
worse. I feel like that just gets me. It just gets the ball going even
00:16:36
crazier. So I love what you're saying there, man. You just have to be aggressive
00:16:39
and kind of swing at it, get the speed and really be aggressive towards the
00:16:42
ball, which I don't know, man. We'll see. Hopefully your a can help me. Help
00:16:46
me get there. Okay, so you guys met. You guys are training together.
00:16:50
That's cool on a couple of fronts. One thing that just comes to mind immediately
00:16:54
is you don't really hear of too many competitors. You guys are
00:16:57
technically kind of competing against one another in a lot of ways. I mean, it's
00:17:01
kind of cool that you guys are actually training with each other, so that's kind
00:17:05
of cool in its own right. How does that work? Well, I mean, I got
00:17:08
to start by saying I got to jump in here. Hold on. Yeah, he's going
00:17:11
to go there, but I got to give him the props first. We have faced
00:17:14
each other twice in competition now, and I am over two. And
00:17:17
every single Monday, I am faster than him. I hit the ball
00:17:21
further than him, and he smokes me in competition every
00:17:25
single time. So I'm over two on that. There's your props. Bryce. Go ahead and
00:17:28
say whatever Sam's got me by.
00:17:32
He's the second man to ever eclipse 240 ball speed. So there's
00:17:36
literally only, like, one or two people that hit a golf ball faster than Sam
00:17:39
in the entire world, ever. Wow. He's got me by like
00:17:43
20 miles an hour ball speed. Holy shit. That's crazy.
00:17:47
So when you step on the box in long drive with a guy that, you
00:17:50
know is another worldly faster than you, it's really
00:17:54
easy to press and try to swing outside yourself
00:17:57
and do something you're not capable of doing. And so I have been
00:18:01
lucky enough twice to just put a couple bunts out there right down the
00:18:05
middle, nothing impressive. And then Sam just happened to go out of
00:18:08
bounds those two sets. And so if
00:18:12
he squares one up against me, that probably will end the streak, the
00:18:16
winning streak I have. But I'm a bit. I'll stand by
00:18:20
saying that that's my brotherly love for him, that I let him have those even
00:18:23
though I didn't. I love that you guys train,
00:18:27
know? I don't know, man. It's just a cool story. Franklin, by the way. Franklin,
00:18:30
is that. Oh, I'm thinking of Manchester. I was like, because I've been to
00:18:33
Bonnaroo a few times and I couldn't remember where that was. I actually,
00:18:37
I'm from North Carolina originally and went to school up at Appalachian State in
00:18:41
Boone. I would get it over to Tennessee quite a bit, man. I love it
00:18:44
over there. So what's the schedule like?
00:18:49
When are you guys, I guess when are the tournaments primarily
00:18:52
or what's the season look like? This year was ten events
00:18:56
plus the world championships. The first one was in Mesquite,
00:19:00
Nevada, in March, I believe, late March. And then there's usually about
00:19:03
once every three weeks, there's a tournament all the way from Nevada
00:19:07
all the way up to Connecticut, down to Hope Sound, Florida. There was actually two
00:19:11
in Tennessee this year. And then the world championships was in Atlanta this
00:19:15
year at Bobby Jones golf course in like, I think that was mid
00:19:19
October. So it's a good, I don't know, seven month season
00:19:23
where it's about on average, I say every three weeks there's a tournament. That's cool,
00:19:26
man. Tell me a little bit about how you guys decided to develop
00:19:30
speed, toad. And maybe if you can just tell the
00:19:34
millions of viewers out there that's going to be watching this thing. Tell them a
00:19:38
little bit about it, man. How'd you guys come up with it and tell us
00:19:41
the story? I'll start with the idea of how it came about is
00:19:45
we had just like you, I mean, every speed training aid on the market. And
00:19:49
we were training hard with them. And we were seeing a lot of
00:19:52
progress in our speed training aids and our drivers were not getting
00:19:56
faster, and we were trying to figure out that disconnect of,
00:20:00
okay, why is this green speed stick start swinging faster?
00:20:03
Why is my lag shot getting faster? Why is all these different things getting
00:20:07
faster? But my driver hasn't budged. And we started
00:20:10
discovering the effects of how important it is to actually train
00:20:14
with your golf shaft. Because each shaft kicks differently, it
00:20:18
flexes differently, and you have to optimize that in order to put speed into it.
00:20:22
Whereas with something that's as stiff as a pole or some of these other training
00:20:25
aids, you can get away with muscling it, not using your nervous system
00:20:29
effectively, and ultimately not putting the speed directly at the ball. So
00:20:32
it looks like you're getting faster, it feels like you're getting faster, but all of
00:20:36
a sudden, you're still not swinging faster nor hitting longer drives. So that's kind of
00:20:40
where the idea came up of, how can we effectively underweight speed
00:20:44
train with our own driver shaft. Yeah, that underweight piece
00:20:47
is, we identified early this year,
00:20:51
that's the huge piece, is when you go underweight, and that
00:20:55
speeds your clubhead and your swing up, that gets your nervous system and
00:20:59
your muscles and your fast twitch system moving faster. It gets
00:21:03
used to moving faster. And so once, let's say
00:21:06
you're at 125 miles an hour club speed, and you throw a speed
00:21:10
toad on there, and you're swinging at 130. That literally teaches your
00:21:14
body to move 130 miles an hour. So then you throw your
00:21:17
driver back in your hands, and 125 becomes 126 because your
00:21:21
brain and your body just moved 130. So it speeds
00:21:25
up that process. Instead of just sitting there with your driver trying to crank out
00:21:28
1 mile an hour, it teaches your body to move faster.
00:21:33
That's kind of where we realized that underweight piece was huge.
00:21:37
And then, to Sam's point, what kind of driver do you swing there? I've got
00:21:41
the paradigm. Paradigm. There you go. That's what I'm swinging. And with the
00:21:45
shaft that you got fitted for that setup,
00:21:48
that shaft works with your swing. It flexes the right amount at the
00:21:52
right time in your downswing to maximize
00:21:55
accuracy. And so Sam mentioned we
00:21:59
were swinging those stiff speed sticks, and we were getting faster with those, but
00:22:03
not with our drivers. And so, literally, it started in March. I went to
00:22:07
Home Depot and bought, like, 45 washers.
00:22:10
And the longest screw, we didn't know
00:22:14
drivers weigh about 195 grams. We didn't
00:22:17
know. Is 80 grams the right weight for this thing? Is
00:22:21
210 grams the right weight. And so we just kept stacking
00:22:24
washers on and taking them off and finding the right weights that we like,
00:22:28
that resulted in fast enough speeds to activate your
00:22:32
nervous system, but not too light to where it's not activating the shaft. If
00:22:35
the shaft is not flexing like it does in your golf swing, well,
00:22:39
then it's not mimicking. And so we kind of did
00:22:42
the prototype testing there for months, and once
00:22:46
we found that 140 grams weight, that was ideal. Then we kind of
00:22:50
took it to that next step and found someone to make us an actual
00:22:54
prototype of aluminum. So wait a minute. So you're telling me that you guys
00:22:58
have only known each other since last. Wait, last July? Is that what you
00:23:01
said? I think so. Right. Wow. And you've already come out.
00:23:05
This is crazy. So you've developed a product, and then you're
00:23:08
bringing it to market. It's live. So, I mean, you guys did all that within.
00:23:12
Since last July? Yeah. A lot of the
00:23:16
practicing and trying to figure that out was this year as we went into
00:23:20
our offseason, after we both competed in the world championship last year in 2022.
00:23:23
And both were like, this is going to be the year of speed. We need
00:23:27
to set goals for ourselves that we think are out of reach, and we're
00:23:30
going to achieve them. So we pushed hard. And with that,
00:23:34
you're pushing hard with all the tools that other people are selling
00:23:38
and some are using, some are not using them.
00:23:41
And that's where our product is so good, is that we spent all year
00:23:45
training with it. We both trained with it today, actually, and we actually use
00:23:49
our product, and that's why it's so effective and why we've had such great results.
00:23:52
I love that. Let's just say that
00:23:56
someone like myself, I start using it consistently, and I'm
00:24:00
seeing an increase in swing speed. At what point do I need to go get
00:24:03
remeasured or recalibrated? Like, shaft wise? It all
00:24:07
depends on where your swing speed is at and how your accuracy is,
00:24:11
because every swing is so different that there are people who can get away
00:24:15
swinging really fast with a regular flex shaft and others
00:24:18
that need more of a stiff setup or an extra stiff setup. It all kind
00:24:22
of depends on your goals and more so on spin
00:24:25
ball flight, launch. That's where shaft optimization really
00:24:29
comes in. Play is what you're doing on the course, what that ball flight looks
00:24:33
like, and then how you can tweak that ball flight, because you can tweak ball
00:24:36
flight by lowering loft on the driver, changing the weight setup in
00:24:40
the driver, or you can do it by a different kick point in the shaft
00:24:44
or a stiffer setup. There are a lot of different ways, so it really just
00:24:46
depends on what you're doing on the course. And if there's something you don't like,
00:24:50
then it may be time to look at a different shaft. I think the first
00:24:53
thing you'll notice is the spin thing that Sam mentioned.
00:24:57
If you have your Callaway set at plus
00:25:01
one, if you're adding a degree of loft, for example, and as you gain
00:25:04
speed, you're creating more friction and speed at the golf ball, which is going to
00:25:08
cause it to spin more. And so the first thing you gain, three,
00:25:12
four, 5 miles an hour club speed, and all of a sudden your drives are
00:25:15
kind of ballooning up. I think the first thing most people are going to do
00:25:18
is turn that cog down one, instead of adding a degree of
00:25:21
loft, play it as stated, and that brings the spin down. And also
00:25:25
you get that extra distance because you're spinning it in that
00:25:28
2400 range instead of maybe up to 3000. That
00:25:32
spin usually is that indicator. How many more yards is like per
00:25:36
mile per hour faster? About three yards. Oh, wow.
00:25:39
Okay. Give or take. If all things are equal, obviously there's launch
00:25:42
conditions and spin and all that, but
00:25:45
1 going to be about three yards. Okay. And then what kind of golf
00:25:49
ball do you guys use? This is just kind of fascinating, especially with all the
00:25:53
stuff going on with the rollback and everything else. I want to get your opinion
00:25:55
on that, by the way. But my thing is now it's even
00:25:59
more important to get your swing speed up because that's going to be
00:26:03
like, to me, it's going to play an even more important part of the game
00:26:06
later on. But I don't know. And plus, I know that I
00:26:10
guess I'll give you my two cent on it, too. I have a feeling it's
00:26:13
going to probably change between now and I think it's, what, three or four years
00:26:16
before it even goes into effect, which to me
00:26:20
is like, I feel like that's going to change between now and then.
00:26:24
The PGA didn't the two already come out saying, we don't
00:26:27
support this? So, yeah, I got to think there's changes between now and then.
00:26:31
But to your point, for anyone that's an average or
00:26:34
below average driver distance wise of the golf ball, it will be
00:26:38
that much more imperative that they go gain another three to 5 miles an hour
00:26:42
club speed to make up the gap, if not, get any.
00:26:46
You know, sam mentioning three yards per mile an hour to
00:26:49
someone who's never speed trained or even someone who's using speed sticks,
00:26:53
because the speed gain is lost in translation to the
00:26:57
driver gaining 5 miles an hour of club speed with the speed
00:27:00
toad is extremely doable. And
00:27:04
in a relatively short time frame, too, which 5 miles an hour,
00:27:08
that's 15 yards on your drive. That's one less club into the green.
00:27:12
Yeah, no, it's a huge difference. Do all the guys in these competitions, do they
00:27:15
all use the same golf ball, or do they do so in
00:27:19
competition? Right now, we're using the Bridgestone e nine s. And
00:27:23
there are buckets of balls that sit there on the t box, and you hit
00:27:26
a specific color for whatever slot you're in. So that when you're hitting at the
00:27:30
same time, they know exactly what ball you hit. And we all hit
00:27:34
the same ball. That ball gets hit one time in competition that gets put on
00:27:37
the side for a range ball. And so you're all hitting brand new balls and
00:27:40
everything. Now, when we're pushing ball speed records or something like that, you'll see some
00:27:44
guys hitting other balls. So, like, left dash is a really popular one because that's
00:27:48
pretty much the fastest ball in the world. Is it really?
00:27:52
From our testing, that's been significantly fast. There's also a company
00:27:56
out in Germany, I believe, which is called a noble golf ball.
00:27:59
Some guys like to use that. Most my ball speed records come with the
00:28:03
left dash. Same with Bryce. Wow, that's so cool, man.
00:28:07
One thing about long drive, if you don't follow it, you hear a bunch of
00:28:10
stories. All the equipment that we're using in competition is
00:28:14
USGA conforming. So the Bridgestone e nine golf ball
00:28:18
is a USGA approved golf ball. Every club we go register
00:28:21
before every tournament, the clubs have to get measured and approved.
00:28:25
They're 48 inches or shorter, which is the USGA max. And
00:28:29
so every club, head, shaft, ball we're playing is
00:28:32
USGA specs. So it's not like some crazy
00:28:35
bananas. Equipment producing distances that are
00:28:39
upwards of 500 yards. Has that always been the case
00:28:43
as far as the shafts go? I always thought that they were like, longer shafts,
00:28:47
but was that like a newer thing where they made them more
00:28:52
conformed to the standards, or has that always been the case? I'm not sure
00:28:56
when they did that, Sam. Do you remember? It was a while ago. Actually, it's
00:29:00
been 48 for a while. But back in the 90s, you'd see guys swinging like
00:29:03
52 inch driver shafts. In the early two thousand s, I think
00:29:07
they changed it down to 50 inches. And then it was definitely
00:29:11
more recently in the became
00:29:15
48 and they started doing USGA because people would start talking about how it's
00:29:18
two different sports. And while it is very much so two different
00:29:22
sports, we have setups that Rory could go hit on the course this weekend
00:29:26
and it would be completely legal for him to do. Not optimal, but it's definitely
00:29:29
legal. I just didn't know. But this also shows my age because I
00:29:33
think I'm 43 and I thought
00:29:37
that that was still the case. I didn't realize that. I'm actually a lot more
00:29:41
impressed now that I know that. And then also, it's kind of crazy
00:29:44
that you guys are breaking records. This gives you a testament
00:29:48
to the speed training. I feel like you guys are breaking
00:29:51
records. Even though your shafts are shorter now than they were
00:29:55
back then, you'd think that they would actually have the equipment
00:29:58
advantage back then. So it must be the swing speed that you guys are. Must
00:30:02
be the training that kind of goes into it. I would assume it's definitely a
00:30:05
combination. Obviously, there's advancements of technology, better shafts,
00:30:09
later shafts, better club heads, better golf balls, all that stuff,
00:30:13
too. But back then, they also measured club speed, so we can just
00:30:16
range it based on club speed. And back then, in a world
00:30:20
championship, fastest type guys, you'd see probably like 155
00:30:24
club speed, and that would probably topping out at the highest.
00:30:27
And now the top guys are in the mid
00:30:30
160s, closing in on 170, depending on what machine you're
00:30:34
on. Wow, that's crazy, man.
00:30:37
That's so cool. So then what's the name? Speed Toado. Tell me about how did
00:30:41
you guys come up with speed toad?
00:30:46
We were hitting in his garage on a Monday and we were like, you
00:30:50
know what? We'd been training with the prototypes we had built, and we didn't even
00:30:54
know if we wanted to bring it to market or sell it
00:30:57
or just continue training. And then I
00:31:01
said, what are we going to name the mean?
00:31:04
Within a minute, out came Sam's mouth, speed
00:31:08
toed. And I was like, that's pretty good. And we sat on it
00:31:12
for like a month, trying to think of something better and never
00:31:16
came. Know the logic behind that? Was it
00:31:19
sitting on top of the golf shaft looked like a mushroom head.
00:31:23
And from back in my days of playing Mario Kart, it looks
00:31:27
like toad from Mario Kart. And if you get a mushroom in. Mario Kart, back
00:31:30
from my days, from being at Appalachian State, it looks a lot like a mushroom.
00:31:34
I'll be honest, with Mario Kart, you. Get a speed
00:31:37
boost when you have a mushroom. So let's get a mushroom in real life, get
00:31:40
a speed boost, and the speed toad was born. Love it. Love
00:31:44
it. That's cool, man. We're not super serious guys, so
00:31:48
we like to keep it fun and light, and it kind of matched that.
00:31:52
Just kind of fun and light. Nothing too serious. Thank God, because I'm getting ready
00:31:56
to ask you some really random ass questions that I ask everyone on the podcast.
00:31:59
That if you're serious, you'd do a Sam, you'd probably
00:32:03
bounce on me. And that's okay if you do. That's okay if you do. All
00:32:06
right, so one of the questions I always ask everyone is,
00:32:10
can a human being eat a golf ball, swallow
00:32:14
a golf ball, basically, and live? Yes. I'm going to
00:32:17
say yes, because that kobayashi guy hitting hot dog down in hot
00:32:21
dogs was out of this world. What's his name? Joey
00:32:24
Chestnut, too. Yeah, the hot dog guy comes up quite a bit. I've
00:32:28
probably asked 100 people, this guys, and it is split down the middle. It's 50
00:32:32
50. And I go back and forth with it. I don't know the answer. I
00:32:34
don't really know. This came up because
00:32:38
on one of the podcasts, I told panda that if we
00:32:42
get, like, 150 subscribers on our YouTube channel, we're pretty far away
00:32:45
from that still. But I will never tell
00:32:49
the albatross story again. And he was like, bullshit, man. If you're
00:32:53
playing pine one with a bunch of gibronis who are terrible
00:32:57
at golf, and one of them hits makes a birdie, and it's like, oh, my
00:33:00
God, it's the most amazing shot in this hole ever. You're telling me you're not
00:33:03
going to tell them about your albatross? I'm like, no, I won't. All right, well,
00:33:06
you're going to have to do something. And he came up with, eat a golf
00:33:09
ball. Anyway, the more I think about
00:33:12
it. The extraction process concerns me more than the ingestion.
00:33:16
The extraction. My thinking on that is, it takes a very specific person, and
00:33:20
I think there's a high chance of the population eating a golf
00:33:24
ball. They're going to die. There's going to be some impaction there, but
00:33:28
with certain people, I think it can probably move through their digestive system.
00:33:31
Obviously, we have harder and more crazy digestive systems than dogs,
00:33:35
but, man, dogs can eat anything, and it goes through them. So while we got
00:33:38
a little bit more twists and turns that we have there, I think it might
00:33:41
be possible that somebody would live through that. We got a doctor on
00:33:45
here. We got a doctor on the call. He can give us
00:33:48
my opinion. Not telling anyone to do it is. I think there's
00:33:52
a few people that could live. I think a lot of people, if they try
00:33:55
and listen to this podcast and eat it, first off, they shouldn't be listening because
00:33:58
they're not smarter than don't do it we're talking about. But I think there's
00:34:02
a lot of people that end up in the hospital with something impacted that they'd
00:34:05
have to get out. Yeah, I mean, my thought is, if you can get it,
00:34:08
I would worry about choking. Like you're going to spice up. But then again,
00:34:12
people swallow swords. Also, you've got
00:34:15
Shaquille O'Neill. That dude's got a big everything. Like, he's got a big esophagus. So
00:34:19
I'm assuming I don't. It'd be like eating a peanut for us. Check out. No.
00:34:22
If you've watched America's got Talent, they have the professional regurgitator on there, and he
00:34:26
can swallow anything. If you haven't seen that for everyone, look it up.
00:34:30
That dude's crazy. He can swallow blades, cut things in half. He can open
00:34:34
locks in his stomach. He's a guy that can swallow. He swallowed a pool ball.
00:34:37
Open locks in his stomach. He's swallowed pool balls.
00:34:42
It's a good watch. You got to watch him. Wow. All
00:34:45
right, so I got a couple of things to research. Left dash. That's first and
00:34:49
foremost. Second titleist probi one. Left dash.
00:34:52
If you never hit one. Yeah, it's a titleist proby one. It's got
00:34:56
literally just has a left dash. And if you never hit one,
00:35:00
when you hit, it feels like a rock. It's hard.
00:35:03
So, Bryce, it's funny you said that, because I didn't know if it was the
00:35:06
same thing, but my budy I was playing with the other day, I don't play
00:35:09
with him very often, but good guy. Shout out to you, cleat. But anyway,
00:35:13
he basically was like, oh, no. He gave me, like, a couple of pro v
00:35:16
ones. And he said, here, man, I only play left dashes. And I'm like, oh,
00:35:19
but it's a pro v one. He's like, yeah, but then he showed me the
00:35:23
left dash. I had never seen it before. And the way he described it as,
00:35:25
like, it's kind of in between, like a pro v one and a proview one
00:35:28
x. But I don't know if that's true. Or not, but no, not according to
00:35:31
me. I think it's definitely harder than a proview one. X. So it
00:35:35
goes like proview one. Proview one x, then proview one left dash.
00:35:39
It is harder. It spins less. It has a lower ball flight. And that's
00:35:43
why guys like us who swing super fast want to hit it because it's not
00:35:46
going to spin a whole bunch. But your approach shot, like you're eight iron
00:35:50
into a green on a par four, you're going to get another, like, seven yards.
00:35:54
I played with them on the course just because winter golf, it's like, I don't
00:35:57
care what golf ball. And, yeah, you almost have to club
00:36:01
down a little bit because it's so low spinning that you'll get another
00:36:05
seven, eight yards of carry out of those irons. Everybody's going to think we're rolling
00:36:09
in it. Because you don't care what ball you hit on the course in winter
00:36:12
and you're hitting left dashes. It's because after we
00:36:16
hit, we have a bunch of extras. After
00:36:19
we beat them up. That's right. After we beat them up in the garage, I
00:36:23
take them out of the course and play with them until they crack.
00:36:26
Your balls crack? Oh, yeah. We probably
00:36:30
broke four or five today training alone. No way.
00:36:33
Seriously? Absolutely. I think. Holy shit, man. I don't think I've ever broken a
00:36:37
golf ball ever. I have a bucket in my garage of balls that we've just
00:36:40
kept, that we've broken. And I got to get rid of it because it overflowed.
00:36:43
But, I mean, we probably have 150 in there that we broke training the last
00:36:47
year. Dude, that is crazy to me.
00:36:51
I would have never thought that. I didn't know that was a thing. I mean,
00:36:55
I compressed the ball, but I guess I don't really compress it compared to
00:36:58
you guys. That's insane. We found, like, the sweet spot of, like,
00:37:03
you know, the life of every different type of ball until it starts breaking as
00:37:06
far as how many swing counts. And, I mean, if we use some
00:37:10
balls, we'd go broke training for this sport because we'd break them. Know so
00:37:14
often. Wow. That's crazy, man. All right, mother random. This is even more
00:37:18
random. I'm just kind of curious on what you guys. You guys seem like a
00:37:20
good dude, so I'd love to hear your opinion on this. So are there more?
00:37:23
Especially you, doc. Are there more legs or
00:37:27
eyes in the world? Are there more legs or eyes in the world? Now, this
00:37:30
could be any being. Whenever I say that, everyone's like, any bean.
00:37:34
No, I don't mean any bean. I mean any being. Anything that's alive. So we're
00:37:38
including fish. We're including all of it. Are there more eyes or legs in the
00:37:42
world? I'm going legs right off the bat. I think I'm feeling strong about that.
00:37:45
Just between, especially if we're counting animals. Animals have a lot
00:37:49
of legs, and there's a lot less animals that have more than one eye,
00:37:53
albeit if we're talking spiders and stuff. That's where it
00:37:57
becomes a little bit interesting. But every spider also has
00:38:01
a bunch of legs, so I'm going to say legs outlay
00:38:04
that. Immediately, I started talking about amputees and people with one eye and
00:38:08
things like that. But I think we need to go into the animal kingdom for
00:38:11
the answer to this one. What do you. Yeah, yeah. Insects, too.
00:38:15
I think the answer is in the ocean. That's a lot of eyeballs with.
00:38:19
No, that's. That's kind of where I'm at. Yeah, fins don't
00:38:22
count. I'm with you. I'm actually with. I don't. The terrible part
00:38:26
about this question is I don't have an answer. I feel so bad when I
00:38:29
ask this because it just drives people insane because it's been driving me crazy ever
00:38:33
since I heard this question. And I'm like, but, yeah, I'm with you, man. I
00:38:37
think there's so many fish out there that we don't even really know about, right.
00:38:40
That they don't have legs. But there are a lot of. I mean, I can
00:38:43
see both sides here, man. Drives me nuts. I mean, centipedes.
00:38:46
Centipedes are legs for days. How many centipedes do you think there are? That's
00:38:50
100 legs for a lot of them. Plus. That's true. But are we counting
00:38:54
tentacles for octopus? Yeah, that's true, too. But what about
00:38:58
the wolf spider? Those are. See, tentacles. I don't know, man. I don't know if
00:39:01
we can count. Are those legs? I guess they are legs, sort of. I don't
00:39:03
know. I mean, they're tentacles. Yeah,
00:39:07
but they're the wolf spider. Someone blew my mind. They're like, they
00:39:11
said the wolf spider has, like, I don't know, like 60 eyes or
00:39:15
something crazy. So I don't know. Who knows? I might change my
00:39:19
answer then. I'll tell you
00:39:22
what. You go count them all, go swim in the ocean, start counting them, come
00:39:26
back and tell me if I'm wrong. All right, deal. All right, I'm on
00:39:29
it. I really do appreciate you guys hopping on here.
00:39:34
Let, let me just kind of share with you guys. How so I'll get this
00:39:37
thing edited and then I'll shoot it over to you guys and if you don't
00:39:39
mind sharing on your social and then vice versa. And then whatever I can do
00:39:43
to help, man. I'm definitely going to be doing the swing eight Saturdays coming
00:39:46
up here. So I'll definitely do a review and I'll shoot it over to you.
00:39:49
And like I said, man, I've loved it so far. And I love the approach
00:39:52
that you guys have. I just love anyone that has an idea or a dream
00:39:56
and chases it. And I love that you guys kind of came together
00:39:59
and they're going after it, man. Like, kudos to you. Thank you. Appreciate it. I
00:40:03
think all three of us have that in similarity as far as just chasing
00:40:07
dreams. And if you have an idea, go for it. Did you get the speed
00:40:10
program that came with the speed code? I think so.
00:40:14
Actually, I haven't seen it. If so, is it separate or is it something I
00:40:18
need to subscribe to or something? So it was on a QR code in the
00:40:21
box, but I'll email you the link. It basically walks you through
00:40:25
all the way up to 44 weeks, depending how intense you want to get with
00:40:28
your speed training on every week. Here's what to do and all the
00:40:31
drills. So I'll send you that link. And then
00:40:35
I would love to see you gain 5 miles an hour like that. And so
00:40:39
as you have questions, as you follow that, shoot us a note, man. We'd love
00:40:43
to help you out and give you tips and pointers or answer questions you might
00:40:46
have. Yeah, I might take you up on that. I saw that you guys were
00:40:49
asking. Maybe you guys even offer it. But as far as
00:40:53
I got the flight scope, mivo plus, will that tell me swing
00:40:57
speed? Not on dry swings. It will tell
00:41:01
you on club speed when you're hitting a ball.
00:41:04
But we also have on our website a PRGR, which is probably what Bryce
00:41:08
just grabbed. Okay. All right, cool. Have you seen
00:41:11
these? So these, in my opinion, it's the best bang for your buck. Flight
00:41:15
scope is great, too. It's $230 and
00:41:19
super speed sells them. Stack system sells them.
00:41:23
They measure, like Sam said, they measure the dry swing speed when you're not
00:41:27
hitting a golf ball. So it'll tell you
00:41:30
club speed. And in my opinion, for anyone.
00:41:34
So you see right there, it's the best bang for your buck. For a launch
00:41:38
monitor, it reads club speed, ball speed, smash factor, and then
00:41:41
estimates total distance. So anyone saying, like, I want a launch
00:41:45
monitor, but I don't want to fork over dough, this works really well. For speed
00:41:49
training and at the range. I'll buy,
00:41:53
dude, I'm the easiest selling this stuff because I'm just like, yep, I
00:41:56
need it. That's what I need right there. Right off the speedtoad.com. Exactly. I will.
00:42:00
I will for sure, man. I will. For sure. Well, alright, boys, well, thank, thanks
00:42:03
again. Are you guys coming to the PGA show or. No, you are? Oh,
00:42:06
cool. Speedtoad will be at the PGA show. All right, man. Cool. Well,
00:42:10
let's get Speed toad hooked up with Dit Yama. And then we actually just had
00:42:13
this guy Brandon on the podcast last know. You've probably seen
00:42:17
him on social. This guy's trying to basically
00:42:21
play you. Have you seen him? He's playing. Yep. I've seen.
00:42:25
Yep. Talking to everybody trying to play.
00:42:29
Him on the, we him on the podcast. Anyway, he's going to be down there.
00:42:32
Be a great. He's got a great following and stuff, too, man. And you're going
00:42:36
to be there? I'm going to be there, yeah. We don't have like a booth
00:42:38
or anything, but we're going to go and network and hook up some people, so.
00:42:41
Yeah, definitely. I mean, we live in Tampa, so we're pretty close by, but we're
00:42:45
going to be spending the whole week there. So definitely when we get closer to
00:42:48
it, let's definitely stay in touch and maybe we can meet up. I don't know
00:42:51
if you guys are going to be golfing while you're down, but let us know.
00:42:55
Absolutely. Cool. All right, well, thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Have a great
00:42:58
night. Take care. Thanks for coming on. Thank you. All right, man. We'll be in
00:43:01
touch. See you. Did I tell you about my albatross?
00:43:05
Thanks for tuning in, everyone. Don't miss out on our upcoming golf giveaways and
00:43:08
experiences. They're exclusive to our subscribers and all you got to do
00:43:12
is subscribe. And until next time, golf's easy. Think fairways and
