Bruh I gotta be honest, if staying away from making videos to improve your game helps then do that. We all want your dope material but never at the cost of your golf career. Maybe let Tom take control for a little while you get 10000% focused! P.S. I’d love to make some background music for your videos for whenever you choose to use music!

Good reminder you are human after all... this style of commentary is still much appreciated. We want to see tournament golf, other KZfaqrs only do it as a one off video but we want constant true competition!

This is exactly the content we want

We like watching you brother! Do what you want with your golf career, we'll be here!

I love the random shots from Thomas there so funny he’s actually the greatest camera man

The comps is what I want to see in the series. That way we get to see the progression. The climb up the ladder is what's fun to see 👍

You are very gifted golfer, you work hard and are extremely committed to achieving your goals. So, it is always enjoyable to watch your videos, especially since you have a great personality, are a great communicator and smart You Tube host. I'm sure you have a great future in golf.

This will be a fun series, the fact that you actually have the goods to turn pro makes it interesting and we want to see it. I could watch this swing on repeat all day.

Great vid! Definitely like the first half better with commentary than 2nd half with no commentary

yes yes yes. This is the series! This will bloom the channel

I think this demonstrates how challenging golf is at the highest level. Ben, you’re the man. Keep grinding, play with no reservations, and go get em.

Gotta love this guy and the hard work he puts in Good job man

THE PAUSE KING WILL ALWAYS SUCCEED!

Love your tournament vlogs, keep it up man we all believe in you. You motivated me to register for my first tournament.

i like the pace of this video especially since it is a tournament. it still shows everything and you give your commentary. Keep up the good work!

Really looking forward to this series! I hate hate HATE playing in strong winds 😂

It’s been fun following along your journey as a content creator. Good luck the rest of the year!

Bro your swing is ELITE. You’ve achieved the KZfaq career, go for the card. You’re an outstanding golfer, and I understand it takes money to make money, but Ben you’ve made it. Keep grinding.

Loved the first half (full commentary). Keep grinding! Love Virginia golf especially Primland & Olde Mill (sneaky good course)

Ben I think it takes alot to put yourself out there like you do and I commend you for being brutally honest. I am looking forward to watching your journey, and I wish you the very best going forward. Keep at it and you will be great sir.

This is definitely the content we want

This is great content. I'll definitely be checking for more of this series!

wow, instant subscribe my man, cant wait to watch the prgression! great vid

Really like these types of videos/I feel it’s a great pace

Really enjoyed the commentary portion and I thought the pacing was actually really good! Keep up the great work guys

Shout out to dem turtles man 🐢🐢🐢 Oh yeah and keep crushing it Ben hope to see you continue to improve and crush it 🙌🏼

Love your game and this style of content. Keep up the good work brother

Congrats. Great score. Keep working at it. Love your videos

Thank you for sharing this journey! I find it fascinating.

I love the idea of this series Ben. I prefer the commentary. We're rooting for you.

Yesssssir was waiting for a golf series

Thanks for sharing this buddy. Keep up the grind! Hope to see you on tour one day

Looking forward to this series! The grind makes me want to get out and improve as well!

Love the video Ben! Your match with DOD versus the Bryan Bros was my first ever seeing you play..that was a great match btw..a rematch HAS to happen!! But this series is great in its own way…real golf..serious golf..and you play very well…your lag putting IS great!! Among other parts of your game…as FA as the commentary I love the thoughts on EVERY shot…

go get it! love the channel and your game.

I like this format a lot! Have you considered a program like Decade? 8ft putts on the PGA Tour are made about 50% of the time, so don't get discouraged about missing 10-20ft putts. You'll make enough of them. People think these are automatic for tour players because that's what they see on TV, but that is simply not reality. Your goal needs to start with bogey avoidance and three putt avoidance.

Great video man, it's awesome to see a guy take the journey. Since you had some struggles in this tournament, I'm going to give some unsolicited advice that you may or may not see, as a former tennis competitor. One piece of advice I have is to try and keep your body language more neutral when some putts or something aren't going quite your way. Your body language can affect your mental and affect your play. Also, I heard that putting is a mentality, and no two putts go exactly the same way. Maybe if you try and lag it, they might fuckaround and drop. Just some friendly advice from one guy who tried, to another who is trying. Very best of luck, Ben!

Love this type of content!

Love the new series keep it up

I hope this comment finds you well: I’ve been watching KZfaq golf for about 2 years now. It started by coming across good good’s “the greatest shot in KZfaq golf history” video where Matt Scharff hits that hole in one. I didn’t even golf at the time but it was so cool. I started watching good good when it would pop up and it was entertaining because you could tell these were just some friends who all had gotten pretty dang good at the game while having fun playing together. I didn’t think any of them necessarily had a shot at going pro, but it was still cool nonetheless to see some well above average golf by guys close to my age. And then I saw one of your videos. I told like everybody I knew, “have you seen that Ben Kruper guy on KZfaq? He’s going to be on tour before you know it.” I saw the swing and the ball striking and it was just so sick. I knew immediately that you were in a different league than other KZfaq golfers, because you were a golfer first, KZfaq second. Not to take anything away from other good KZfaq golfers, but your skill set directly translates to the PGA. Myself and many others believe you truly have what it takes, and that is why you’re blowing up on the internet because everybody wants to see you go pro. Even Jon Rahm said your swing is money

Great frickin video dawg!! You mentioned pace recommendations, in between holes if you still got a bit more to say, you could switch the cam over to you just for a quick 7-15 secs or whatever lol. Just a thought... Keep ballin Ben

I like the video pace. Commentary was great.

Love your videos Ben - and your swing! The ball-strike noise with an iron and the pause is absolutely epic. Rooting for you on your quest, I cant wait to say "I watched that kid 5years ago" as you slip into something green... Anyway would suggest Tom commentating more - has a good eye for things like your dad stretching and the tortoise. Adds colour and humour to the round. We all love golf, but just pure golf content can be boring. I'd love more scene setting aka detail of past winners if anyone famous/on tour, maybe interview with an official if you can get them to agree. As other comments music building the mood of the round would be great but appreciate implications with licencing. Finally missed a massive chance for drama with the shot miss... BUT we're all being super picky. Great golf in tough conditions and a video I thouroughly enjoyed again!

Amazing stuff Ben. Keep it up!

Definitely talk. Knowing what you're thinking is a big part.

Great video and content. Keep grinding young man.

Great video. I liked the first half with commentary more, but thought the length and pace of the video were both great. Only thing I can say with the commentary is don’t question Thomas’ filming. If he wants to film a club on the green, a bird, a turtle, or your dad leaning against a tree, it’s for good reason!

Great video, I love the doc of the tournament. You hit the ball great you just need to tighten up the wedges a little and make a few more and you’ll break through. Good stuff

Hey Ben for your putts I’m not sure what your thought process is. But if you’re really focused on trying to make the putt on the “Make-able” ones that might be your issue. Maybe just focus on a spot or the line more and try and hit a good putt instead of trying to make it if that makes sense. And be ok with outcome before you hit the putt. Golf’s all mental as you know😉

I think for this series you can have every episode be a match but maybe have like an episode 2.5 where you do training, would be cool to see that too and what you are trying to work out with your swing

New sub here once I saw you doing this type of content 🤝

Strong work man. Keep grinding

I like the pace of the vid

as a golfer, i loved your format here...

Perfect pacing with this video editing

Great effort. Great job of putting yourself out there. Biggest issue I see for you is missing left with your irons. That's common for high level amateurs and mini-tour pros. In order to get to that PGA Tour level with the irons, you have to greatly reduce the amount of pull side misses with your irons. Then when you get to the PGA Tour and try to be an elite level iron player, you work on the short push side miss. Putting woes from inside 10-feet....usually either not playing enough break or playing too much break. Throws your speed control off. Hard to tell from the camera views given, but you didn't miss many low on your lag putts and that's why you're a good lag putter. You were very good off the tee, particularly in such windy conditions. Short game around the green was superb. And you've got the speed. Just clean up the left misses and I would try to figure out what type of breaking putt from 5-12 feet gives you the most trouble (i.e. left-to-right or right-to-left). Take note of where those putts are missing and then you can formulate a plan as to how to get better on putts from inside 10-feet.

I like the pace of this video: good content

Great video! Personally, I liked the first round better with additional commentary as it lets me know how you approached each shot. Either way, tough break on the scoreboard, but looking forward to more rounds!

Good work Ben

Love the pace of the video

Good luck dude!

Rooting for you man, and hoping you can make it. Honestly i would think playing as many tournaments as possible would be solid so youre seeing all sorts of conditions just like this windy day and just like the pros have to put up with day in and day out. Lastly, i think it would help your pacing if you only commentate 1-2 of your shots per hole, either a really good one or really bad one that screwed up the hole. You ended up having to sort of just rap your way thru the video haha. Best of luck dude.

Love your attitude and maturity

Top effort bro respect

Keep grinding and stay humble. Those are keys to success. You played well. There's a few little mistakes, but you can clean those up easy. With a few tweeks, you'd have shot even and a couple under.

As a guy who loves this stuff, record everything you can! We would all love to see your process for improvement and everything of the sort

love the video bro!

You got this super Kruper, would love to see you on any pro tour!

Your chipping is on point. Those are really difficult.

My club pro Colton is playing in the state open. Good luck!

Man nice video I think I like it better if you were micd up instead of VO I think the camera is fine if you were also micd up ✊🏾

The speed of the video was perfect, kept it all interesting

I actually like this format, no bs

You cool! Just get that putter dialed in. You would smoke me and I'm an above average golfer. Best of luck, love you golf vids! Respect👊🏻

Looked like a pretty hard course, with some sketchy greens combined with the wind. Solid rounds.

This was good to watch, I really liked the commentary, bit quick in some points for me but still good. Also I know a lot of people do it but maybe try removing the late wrist set on your putts, I did it and have found a big difference. Counting 3 putts per month rather than per round now.. 🤙🏼

Good luck man

Great video

Tourney play is always my preferred style video

This was good. I am 58 years old and am playing in a Senior Am event in September and next year, I plan on playing in more, so I love this type of video. I am like you getting nice birdie looks but am too tentative on them and aren't making enough and when I chip I am leaving myself knee knockers for par. Would love to see how you are practicing your short game. That would be a great video. Just go out and practice and let Thomas film and come back and talk over the video. You practice and help other at the same time. Great video though. You can do it!

Leggo Ben!

Good luck on the journey brotha! Lmk next time you in Tampa area let’s hit Jovita

chase your dreams ben!

Love the pacing, love the video series idea too. Honestly looking for this content in the golf youtube space. Fast pacing is nice we can observe your course management at the highest level with pressure. Also - driving through virginia, whats a course you recommend or your home course? New to the game

I think this video is perfect, nice pace, good commentary. Just some very soft background music would be nice🔥

pacing is good imo. we're impatient in 2024

would love some training videos as part of this series. Range sessions with drills, swing thoughts, insight on what kind of margin of error you accept during it, etc.

Love watching these tournament videos. The pacing is a bit fast for me but that’s just my opinion. For tourney videos I love the more in depth videos

First step, wear a hat! goodluck bro, go low.

Feel the frustration. State Am in Wisconsin 2022, finished 2nd round, event staff said I would make the cut most likely. 8 hours later, someone made a 45 foot putt in almost complete darkness and knocked me 1 stroke outside the cut line. Didn't deserve to make it but the back and forth was rough way to miss out. Good luck at state open, I'm trying similar things up in WI.

I too struggled with making "must have" birdie putts. I read Bob Rotella's "Golf is not a game of perfect" and what stuck with me is BELIEVING you're going to make it and not thinking "I must make it". That put the pressure off me but still gave me confidence to put a good stroke on it. Maybe that could help you too.

8 and 9 so tough back to back, and I can back you up, 8 is never downwind. Plays so long.

I’m from Virginia and I play in junior tournaments two of the kids one below you and one above you are playing high level division 1 golfyou got a shot bro

It would be interesting to see some videos of you working on specific areas of your game.

I believe in you Super Kruper 😀

Better Luck at the VA Open!

just copped the shirt with your code 🤝

You’ll get em next time

I think the video pace is just nice to my liking

I agree wind audio is not ideal but better than the voice over. Not sure how to incorporate the content during the round is what I prefer to watch. I like to hear the golfer in real time talk about the hole, the lies, challenges and finally the decisions as that is what makes us want to see the shots in my opinion. - keep grinding as you have a great vibe
