- Joe Miller swings a golf club 150mph, hits the ball 225mph, and is the reigning World Long Drive Champion. He got his start lifting weights, took a job working at a driving range and ultimately ended up crushing golf balls further than anyone in the world. We hung out with him in Northaw, England to see how he hits golf balls nearly five football fields.

The most American Brit
If he's such a good driver why is he driving on the wrong side of the road
I like that
Played with a long drive guy, and his handicap was 15-18. He could hit it 450 yards, but 3 fairways over XD
I really hope this is sarcasm
He is British
Has to be a dad
I'm all for the humane treatment of long drives, so I applaud this guy's approach to doing what is humanely possible in his area. We need more people like that in the long drive world. Think of the children.
JimboSRP was wondering if anyone else picked up on that as well...lol
JimboSRP who care
people
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well moron, good for Happy GilOOOHMYGOD!!
@Zzzz 110 fellow tubers disagree and think it's a very good meme
Seems like a nice guy. Good on him for finding a niche in the golf world
seems super genuine
It is not really a niche anymore.
@MrJre4491 no it is isn't... sorry mate. Better luck next time
I want to see him skull a sandwedge.
225 yards minimum on a skully sandwedge
Lol as long as I'm behind him
LOL
It would just smash him in the face hahaha
It would go like a mile straight up in the air
Drive for show putt for dough
I mean I don't really think he is hurting on dough while putting on quite the show
little different when your driving is the show people are paying to see isn't it?
Tell that to Dustin Johnson who quite literally won the first leg of the FedEx playoffs with a drive over a fuckin lake in a playoff to win.
lol
Not in a long drive competition...? He isn't a pro golfer!
This is awesome. This is the future for long drive and tournament golf. You know Jimmy Ballard told me over 35 years ago that golfers were athletes. Back then nobody was doing anything but smoking and drinking. But Jimmy was right. What a big difference in the 35 years. Training is serious and specific just like any other sport. I love it. Bring It On.
'I think you're seeing what is close to HUMANELY possible' looool
I don't care about the long drive crap.....HOLY MOTHER OF STEAK!!!!!
look into the amount of fucking pure protein and shit bodybuilders and ppl do.. crazy shit. But that Meat also looked fuckin prime. same with the wings
Michael Thomas you better
@@Rezik. He'll have ass cancer when he's 54.
Puss
He was just been eliminated in the quarter finals of long golf championship 2019.
Got his glove which he got the world record with!!
Did he say that driver had 1 degree of loft lol
That’s more than my putter
@@hudsonh344 shut your mouth
It's like the drifting of golf.
Great short film from you guys, this guy is a unit!
Hahahaha so true
Harry Flower 3 time masters champ by 2030. Fair play to him for giving everyone else a chance before he stops sandbagging. The number 1 pokerface in golf history.
Him when he gets a 392 I’ll take it I guess me when I get a 180 drive ohhhhhhhh
im 6 and im on the pga tour i drive the ball 550 yrds on a bad shot and 923 yds on a good shot i am -5 thru 3 holes. i use putter off 160yd par 3's.
Lol
hahahah
I think you mean inches not yards
MC Wonders I’m a prebuscent transsexual toddler (born male), and I squat 650 and hit a 3 wood 700 yards. #borninthewrongbody
HeavyProfessor whyyyyy 😂 😂
Wow I have never red so many jealous comments made towards a guy who enjoys his own life style that most envy!
Different folk, differents strokes I say! My longest drive/s are 250 in which I am happy with, if it is still in the fairway! Ha ha!
Am 66 years of age and play golf every day (weather permitting) Now I bet most of you out there wish you could play every day! So please don't be jealous of others life style, just be content what you have and what you can achieve out of your own life style, and enjoy what you have! I wish you all the best in your own golfing day's!
Tfw boomerdriving on a neverending golf vacation
Holy fuck im jealous of your life man! Playing golf every day sounds great.
I had 3 lessons with Lee .... hands down the best lessons I’ve ever had, I couldn’t hit a drive further than 200 yards after 3 hours consistently hitting 260 but most importantly 95% down the fairway .... if only improvement in the rest of the game was that easy 😭😭🙄
"If I'm having a bad day, I ring him up" lmao
Quarter million views great job with the video my dude keep up the good work
i never realised there was such a beast as a 1 degree driver, incredible power he puts into these drives!
Who else got scared at 0:55 because they thought he was driving on the wrong side? lol
He is in England going to essendon golf course
doesn't matter where youre from everyone drives on the right side one way or another
Meeting Joe on Tuesday, Going to be awesome!
130 mph swing with an iron...Wow!
THP Golf TV wouldn’t it be in Kph or am I incorrect
cashchicscars the top long drive guys can exceed 130mph with 2iron
He seems like such a fun dude to be around haha
Its crazy that the head of the driver almost hits his waist on his backswing. Most golfers end the backswing with the shaft parallel to the ground and he’s rotating all the way back to 90 degrees from the ground. That usually results in a massive slice UNLESS you can whip your shoulders round as quickly as your hips are coming around and meeting square at the point of contact....but either way, the length of these long drive guys’ backswings are insane.
And the left elbow is bent af.
I love the old school gym mentality
What an absolute unit
I love how people now just do flexibility drills and stupid light weight complex workouts that don’t make you stronger and ultimately don’t make you hit it any farther, but people like him, tiger and Rory brought it back and that might be because like him, they were all taught the basics, the stronger you are, the faster your club head speed, and I like that he is doing that so props to him!
Metal intro will never go with golf
He's good but he's no Happy Gilmore
You realise he could actually outdrive Happy Gilmore right?
@@Reavix1 shhh
The Jay Cutler mural is spot on.
I love that part at the butcher shop lol
Nice chip shot club twirl on the driving range, money!
1 degree no wonder it goes 400 yards
4:41 just like Happy Gilmour
Good on yer Joe, great to have a Brit and a nice guy as world champ. Long may you reign!
the club went further than the ball!
You’re gonna need sun tan and lotion cause your not gettin’ out that sand!
ya jack ass
1deg driver!!! That's insane
Legend says he can put it 170 yards
My longest drive was in Arizona at 345... haven’t really been able to get past 305 since. Gotta hit them weights!
who else thought he was about to crash for driving on the wrong side but realized they’re in the UK
I hate nothing more than wanting to watch this but knowing VICE benefits from me doing so.
VICE is shit - why are you concerned with helping them?
How can he get his hands through the ball swinging that fast if it was me trying to do this I’d slice absolutely everything
150 mph club head speed is with a 48 inch driver. The 125 mph is with a 44 or 45 inch driver. Both badass !
This guy's awesome!!!
Seems like a great guy!
Machine. I want to see him swing back beyond vertical you know backswing through the full 360 degrees. That would be insane.
361 degrees lmfao
Guy at 6:17 in the background is like holy shit
That’s at essindon I’m a member there
Bodybuilders usually make Great golfers, because of their ability to find CONSISTENCY, and make adjustments....plus they have extremely Good control over muscle fibers and extreme focus. Plus, due to the extra mass, they don't need to swing "quite" as fast......because the Force = Mass x Acceleration.
Do they drive golf carts opposite of the side they dive on the road
The butcher is a cheeky fellow
Why are the steering wheels on the right side of the car but the golf carts have them on the left side?
A real star.
so crazy
It’s Not how you drive, it’s how you arrive !!!!
He arrived at the 474y mark in 1. How many did you take to get there?
"I'll take that"
Wonder how much his equipment adds to his speed and yardage. I may be wrong on this but from my understanding all regulation style equipment maxes out. A regulation driver and ball can only hit a maximum of 320 yards. So what is he using to get those distances? A special ball and a 1degree, extra stiff, extra long driver? I’d like to see a video on the differences of him using regular everyday clubs and ball vs his special built equipment.
I live 5 mins from the driving range right at the start
Great name too
What a coincidence. I was on the Trackman the other day and my SS was 152.
Metric. 152 km/h...:)
It's all fun and games until someone tears an oblique.
I’m 2 and a half I drive it 500 is that ok
Nobody beats my internet driving distances. My shots can escape black holes' event horizons.
You probably just accidentally put 500 instead of 50 cuz no 2 year old can drive it 500 yards
No 2 year old can drive even 50
No fucking way you were two and a half years old when you made that comment. I call bullshit!
@@thesportg.o.a.t4119 you sir, are gullible
Very strong man
damn that mustve been like 200$ of beef.
Jack hamm said that's cute ..BOOOOOOM
Nobody beats the hammer, nobody.
It's good to see someone training for size and strength but not with steroids for looks or getting massively fat like power lifters. Just a good old fashioned monster of a man.
Nobody can drive farther than Happy Gilmore
intro song?
His swing is bonkers.
The people who say they drive 300 yards but it's only 240 lol.
I got paired up on a tee time with this one moron. While waiting on the first tee, the group in front of us was ~300 yards out. He told me I should hit first because he averages 325 yards and will probably hit them. I didn't believe him, but I still went up there and put one 280 dead center of the fairway (just an ease into it swing because the first shot is always the worst for me). This guy gets up and waits a few seconds for the group to get into their carts and drive off. He takes about 4 practice swings (all of which almost left a divot) and finally takes his shot. His ball is teed up using a long drive tee barely poked in, so he could stack 2 driver heads and still not reach it. He drives his club into the ground and takes the tee, not the ball. He re-tees and puts the ball lower. Still drives his club into the ground, but makes contact with the ball and skies it. During the rest of the round he keeps on talking about how he's having an off day, topping his longest drive out at a whopping 165 yards. Final scores for that round are a 95 for me (by no means a great golfer, just a fairly strong 15 year old with a good driver) and a 137 for him (with mulligans, none for me)...
Sorry for the essay, but it fit well with this comment...
Ryan Corsaut Imao
+Ryan Corsaut
Alright then, want to join me for a round?
EDIT: Just because I'm 15, doesn't mean I can't hit it that far... If I said I was 7, then you can be skeptical about that, but hitting a ball far is about contact, technique, and flexibility. You need to be able to turn your hips and turn your wrists on your way down, while coming up to the ball. Almost all 15 year olds should be able to do that with a little practice, not saying contact will be perfect, but the form of the swing should be fairly decent and contact just comes with time...
The average PGA tour drive was 287.8 yards in 2003... You seriously think those numbers went down from 2003 to 2018?

Ok... and your point is?
Just because I'm 15 and not a pro, doesn't mean I can't hit it far. How about you join me for a round? then we'll talk...
1:30 watch his head this dudes got some huge balls
Completely off topic, but I very much enjoy eating a quick breakie at the golf course I pass once I'm done at court.
LOL drive for show, putt for dow.
Essendon golf club he is at
traffic opposite way from me, strange
the loft is like 4 degrees
exactly
New spine please
Each diet is different, but his diet needs variety. But it works for him, keep going.
It is cool the ability these guys have to crush balls. However its completely specialized sport and what they do, pros don't swing like the long drive guys do, because they are trying to do different things. But like Maddox, Glavine and Smoltz said "Chicks dig the long balls"
My balls are long, and chicks seem to shy away from them.
I thought when you said strongest man in the world Brian Shaw would be there...
Hope he works on his total golf game and tries to get on the euro tour or pga
Ali Hamdani he's good at long driving, not golf
As far as I'm aware he plays off around a 2 handicap and that's without training his whole game, pretty impressive but suppose it helps when you're hitting wedges into greens on par 5's haha
Why are they using inches
He said he likes bodybuilder for the strict lifestyle with eating healthy and dieting while his little gut sticks through his jacket lmao
Wow
06:11 in all those years, dont you think he have made that joke once?
Did he say 474yds
Mr Gilmore accomplished that feat no longer than an hour ago
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago
The art of not playing golf with a golf club.
Convinced tough British people don’t have hair
i could see that Sony FS7 noise a mile away. enjoyed it otherwise!
He gonna break his back
I like golf
Well not anymore how eddie haul played with rick shiels
They may still use the metric system but they just can't get away from imperial :D
Crazy as it sounds if you can promote 2to5x the Ballspeed to Club Moi Speed: essentially I wouldn't need ta super speed swing to achieve High Ball Ultrajectory.!
By @JeroSpan
Happy Gilmore!!!!
Absolute lad Jesus he swings fast i swing at 114 and thought i was fast.. nope
114 is still much faster than the average male golfer, but 151 is insane.
