Yeah, but the consequences of a missed shot aren't comparable. Missing a Happy Gilmore shot will send your ball 4 fairways to the right or 3 feet in front of you, while a missed regular drive will go 100 yards or be in the next fairway if you have a bad slice.

Great fun video... keep them coming. Sports Science did a similar episode about 10yrs ago with Padraig Harrington. Same result. Farther drives by about 30yds but hard to control. What was cool was when they slowed down the video, his swing and position at impact was almost identical to his stationary swing. The difference was being in motion allowed him to have a bigger shoulder turn that resulted in more club head speed.

there's also force multiplication of them already moving in the direction of the shot, it might only be a couple mph but it makes a difference. ads much more variability of where the clubhead is in every plane though, which is the reason for the inconsistency.

I simply love how you have fun with golf. You don't take yourself too seriously and that makes you majorly relatable. Great video!
Would be interesting to see if your distance improved when taking a normal swing after doing this. This exercise is so good for drilling down weight transfer and increasing more shoulder turn
Combine your happy Gilmore swing and super straight balls and play a round!

Nice, great video and dedication to the game. I practised a version you take one step from the ball, then step in as you swing. Lots of work needed to make it work.
Only been watching your channel for about a year or so, but this is immediately my favorite video! The one club challenge and now this? Great entertainment lol.
I love it! the Happy Gilmore swing. Rick your the best man. Next up. How to bowl the flintstone shuffle!

I don't know why you didn't work about ten of them into this video.
Great video ! Enjoyed it
You can use physics to work out the best technique. Force = mass x acceleration (F = MA) therefore the run up that allows you to accelerate right up to the point of impact will be the best. I think running through the ball works, as long as you're creating enough of a counterforce to translate the acceleration into the club head. Brilliant test, lots of fun. I'd love to see a PGA pro use this in a tournament.
The video we wanted but were always afraid to ask for.
My back hurt just after watching this, GREAT VIDEO, super fun..... thanks Rick!
