Remember that kid I was raving about in the Remax Long Drive, Domenic Mazza?  Well he has his swing sequence analyzed by Golf Digest.  This kid has power the kind of power anyone should be proud, especially a 16 year old.  Just imagine how crazy it would be if you were only a 1.6 handicap and could drive the ball as far as 436 yards.  That is scary good.  He isn't sure yet if he is going to pick golf or baseball for his sport, which I understand because he is equally scary good at baseball.  I just can't get over how good this kid is at golf.  It is just crazy and I hope I never have to play a game of golf against him it might just make me quit my new hobby.  One thing that makes me think he is going to pick golf as his sport is he turned down the $70,000 second place prize money to keep his amature status.  If that is the case every tour player and long driver better watch out!  Since he can do more than just long drive it will be very interesting to see what is in store for this Kid's future.  Golf Digest also has a video about his swing analysis and it has a little bit of a golf lesson in it so check it out below.

Happy Holidays and the Remax Long Drive Championship

First of all Happy Holidays everyone and I hope you got all the gifts you wished for.

Now, on to the Remax Long Drive.  In case you guys missed it today it is on ESPN Tomorrow at 1:30 Central time.  I think it is a must watch because of the amazing story in it this year.  There is a 16 year old kid in it.  His name is Domenic Mazza.  This kid is crazy good in long drive.  Here is a video of some of his drives, but I won't give away how well he does except saying that this year's Long Drive has a great story to it.



There were two things almost all the long driver's were using mostly because of sponsorship, but this doesn't mean they may not be good products.  The first one is Slazenger Raw Distance Golf Balls, which from what I understand can only be found at Dick's Sporting Goods.  It only has 14 reviews so far, and most of them are good.  The ball does seem to be a more for the average golfer, and seems to be priced to be in that category. This summer I am going to order some though and try them out.  There is one reason because of this.  That is because if any of you are James Bond fans, Slazenger is the golf ball he uses so I want it to be a decent ball badly just because of how much of a James Bond fan I am.  Slazenger doesn't really sell much in the United States though except some apparel from what I can find.  If you do search Slazenger on Dick's Sporting Good's website it claims they have a set of men's clubs but when you click on them it says 0 items so maybe they will have the set on there someday.  I think having everyone use a single ball for the Long Drive is a good idea to help negate the difference in golf balls and make the tournament pointed more towards the person not their equipment.

Many players were using Krank Drivers.  I know from looking around online a lot of long driver's consider them or Geek Golf Drivers.  These of course are way out of my price range and aren't recommended by many who play golf to play the game and not just long drive, but it would be fun to try them out once.  I don't know how many players were sponsored by these companies though.

The third and final thing almost ever long driver used were Zero Friction Tees.  I choose to show the Fighting Sioux ones to help represent my school haha.  Anyway these tees seem to not have many reviews on them and are a little pricey for golf tees, and I think I might purchase some as well to try out for the Summer.  There aren't many reviews to base the purchase on so who knows if they are good or bad yet.

Anyway again to everyone Happy Holidays and don't forget to watch the Remax Long Drive Championship tomorrow.
