It was an honor to compete against Mitchell. He can definitely contend with the best long drivers in the world. One day it would be awesome to see him make a run at the World Long Drive Championship. As a huge fan of strength sports it’s cool to meet the World’s Strongest Man. Mitchell is such a nice guy in person - truly embodies the LHBK motto. Including the Swingplates shout-out is much appreciated.

To see you be so big and strong yet nimble and all around athletic is truly impressive. Definitely wouldn’t mind seeing some golf content from you

U really making the most of your WSM title with all this next level content. Best thing you could have done for yourself after winning. KZfaq is a cash cow if u do it right

Mitchell you’re a new breed of strongman, the amount of content you put out is amazing!

you should try all the olympic throwing events, like javelin, shot put and discus, it would be really good to watch!

That swing is unbelievably impressive considering the size of you! What an athlete.

Love the diversity of the content. Wasnt expecting to see a strongmsn hit 380+ at all today, or frankly ever. Great stuff Mitch

220 ball speed, mate that’s absolutely elite. Great work.

Damn, this is super impressive, I used to compete in LD back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It's crazy how how good the competition has got, back then then you wouldn't see many guys breaking 210mph until you went to Worlds. I knew you were a good golfer and obviously a great well rounded athlete so to be honest I am only somewhat surprised by your results here but mostly because I would imagine you are giving up a lot of club head speed and flexibility due to the strongman specific training. Wouldn't be surprised to see you compete in LD maybe in the future. Anyway, this is super impressive.

Mitch maybe the greatest all around athlete to ever win world's strongest man. Crazy talented!!!

Very impressed with the swing!! Way to go. Great technique!

"Patient at the top" - that is so true for golf at any level.

Really nice swing for a big guy!! I'm impressed GO MOOSE!!!

Pretty cool having the WSM at your event. Moose is helping everyone he can come in contact with. What a guy.

I don’t know how much time you spent hitting balls before this comp but my impression is if you got semi-serious about it, maybe in the off season, you could become known in the long ball community and open the door to a whole new segment of subscribers. Maybe pick up a sponsor or two.

Incredible to think about actor Powers Boothe's 490 yard long drive "Golden Pumpkin" record back in the day. Great to see today's efforts

Mitch is a Great Ambassador for WSM. 🤘😎

To have the level of flexibility and dexterity you have while also being that strong is like unheard of. You have such a smooth swing for such a huge guy. Amazing athleticism.

You’ve definitely played golf before to hit drives like that , that’s insane for a strongman . Great technique

Fun video. Just a point of clarification. The grooves on a driver don't change the spin. The real reason is that it allows finer manufacturing tolerances and less cost. You are trying to get a thin face and maximum COR, and it's harder to achieve that with a durable long drive head if you have grooves. The main purpose of grooves in a golf club is to channel away dirt and moisture to ensure the ball has maximum contact with the face. Just like a car tire channeling away water.

I did not expect this. Mitchell actually knows his stuff and has an amazing swing.

Congrats on winning the World Strongest Man, Mitchell I was really impressed with how you dominated the field....

Absolute incredible, you are such a inspiration with your atlethic skills. So fun to follow you, all the best in the future!

This is the one of the most impressive things I've seen. 216 ball speed ...

That last drive was absolutely ridiculous!

You have a nice swing for long drive contests. Keep at it

Contact Good Good or Rick Shiels or Bob does Sports. I’m sure they would love to have the WSM who can golf and crush the Ball. Good cross over.

You should collab with Kyle Berkshire and @thebombersclub for a speed training lesson/session!

What 's most impressive to me is how that ball takes SO many smashes without failing! Somehow I'd think that there can only be a limited number of times it can be compressed before it starts to lose rebound ability. Slo-mo video shows the ball being compressed nearly in half...that's amazing.

I find the hips get ahead of my body when I rush the backswing. If I slow the back swing, 'patient at the top' as the top guy said, then everything is primed to engage at once and the hit is clean.

Certainly a higher quality swing than Eddie Hall displayed with Shiels. Mitchell should hit up Kyle Berkshire, he's trying to get stronger to push his limits even further as he thinks he got quite a bit of potential in the strength department. He's actually surprisingly weak in terms of static lifts, really shows technique is king, and speed isn't entirely dependent on strength level.

Would love to see you do a video with borgmeier or Berkshire. Also you have so much to gain technique wise and you already have 210 ballspeed which is insane.

Respect. What a versatile sportsman. Congratulations for nearly 400 yds.

Mitch man, you are beyond impressive. You're clearly a very cerebral guy, and I'm blown away with your coordination outside of just being a "strongman". You're a freak athlete and a genuinely great human being; once in a century kinda guy. Edit: with the shocker glove alone, I knew you were a golf guy.

Dude you have to try shot put next. Would be awesome to see how you perform.

Look at some straight on slow motion, videos of these guys technique at P6 how far in their hands are over their trail thigh where the shaft is still horizontal to the ground also, how much their hips have turned over on their lead leg pulling away this is why float loading is so important

This was freekin fun bro!! Of course all the dudes would love more long drive/golf stuff from the Strongest King!💪😎👍

Man this is impressive. To be as strong as you are and swing a golf club like that. I have a new favorite strongman/golfer.

I am utterly amazed that u can drive it that far! Mean no disrespect at ALL. Excess muscles usually hinder distance. U are obviously flexible and have amazing hand eye coordination with good technique. Mad props 👏

It's refreshing seeing a big guy that can actually smash a ball.

I want to see you try the highland games with the Stoltman brothers

Another pro tip for darts, triple 19 is a better choice in some cases because the miss will grant you more points and the hits are only 3 points off of the trip 20. If you miss 20, you get a 5 or a 1. You miss 19 you get a 3 or 7 💪

210mph ball speed is pretty ridiculous, didn’t expect the WSM to have such a swing. Incredible

The worlds strongest man just explain long drive like no one else. Thank you

I did not expect to see such a great swing.

Wild that you are competing on par with these guys. Edit saw your bit about golf history and now it’s not so amazing

Mitch is the Curt Hennig (Mr Perfect) of the strongman world.

The overall knowledge you have in so many fields is incredible!! I really enjoy watching your videos. Go and win WSM 2024

Your content gives so much of that vibe that Jujimufu's content had back when he had Tom around- consider finding a sidekick HAHAHA

Mitchell stands like he's sitting on an elephant but then I realized you're supposed to stand with your feet shoulder width apart lmao

What an athlete. What an enigma. What an anomaly. What a swing! Mitch surprised me with his first swing. I was expecting a big, strong, man to hack at the ball with something resembling a golf swing. But, Mitchell…nice. We all must remember that this giant of a man is an athlete who just happens to have a modicum of strength.

One tip for you I can see from here. I can also drive a ball like no ones business and gained a lot of muscle between my first and best drives. You need to aim AT the ball not through it. It looks like your power is leading in front of the ball. I bet you'd gain more just by trying to imagine you're trying to smash and break the ball not swinging through it. Let the follow through be relaxed from contact forward.

The furthest I have ever hit a golf ball was 1200 yards, but that was with my custom-built 375 cheytac. When it comes to my actual longest drive, it was a little over 300 yards at a driving range.

Wow,thats really impressive Mitch..had no idea you were into golf,that’s awesome!

I'm no golf expert at all but it looks like Mitchell shifts his feet less than everyone else, as in less power and mass transfer

You've done it all GREAT rep for canada and the sport. Much love moose

5:54 ONE HUNDRED-EIGHTYYYYYYYYY The absolute worst thing for me to hear when I'm trying to get to sleep and suddenly WE HAVE A GAME ON OUR HANDS, BOYS!

A collaboration with Bryson DeChambeau needs to happen!!!

The tea off drive is the easiest part of golf and the most fun. Like Happy Gilmore the short game is by far the hardest.

Moose bringing the HEAT!!

Great job, Mitch!! I absolutely love seeing the myth of "unathletic" Strongman being dismantled!!! Love this content!!!

Cody nearly turned into Shoresy at 18:55

I'd like to see Mitch vs Eddie Hall in golf, swimming, running, basketball, and darts.

love the golf content. Mitchell you are a beast in the long drive you could compete on a world level with some practice .

hell of a swing for a big guy. i was 215 and had a nice swing a few years later i was 270 all i could do is hack at the ball

It is now the year 2033. All PGA golfers now compete in WSM in the off-season.

Muscles and clever that is a crazy combo

LOL, the club flip at 16:57

I wanna see Mitch get on the ice and play some hockey.

You might never see a Strongman with such a solid swing.

Is there anything this man can’t do or hasn’t already done? THE MOOSE FTW

Spin may be more important than most experts are thinking. Without spin, your drives are going to take a nose dive and not stay long enough in the air to carry as is needed for long drives. I started out with a PING I25 8 degree driver on a Fujikura Ventus Red flexible shaft but the ball nose dived on me. When I switched to the Fujikura Atmos flexible shaft my ball stayed in the air and my drives gained an additional 25 yards.

"Hold my vodka" -John Daly

Another GREAT ENTERTAINING video man!

You should have your first round opponent on for a strength training video where you show him some raw strength builders he can do even at his age

bryson dechambeau could give you some long drive tips. that would be a good colab.

Well I've played this game all my life and I know a few things about the swing . This is a superb swing . Period

You planning on competing in any wld events in the coming year?

Mitchell, could you explain the factors involved in the ability to drive a ball regarding muscle weight + muscle resistance vs. rotational torque and all of that! I'm curious what parts of the body in a strongman that are working against you!

Did not expect that. Just an athlete.

big muscular guys are not supposed to have that fluid of a swing. Well done, well done!

200+ ball speed? Just muscles don’t get you that. No disrespect but never in my life did I expect to click this video and watch you absolutely stripe it lol

Been waiting for this!!!

that little tuft of hair that got missed is buggin me. besides that, great vid haha :)

You should really collab with kyle Berkshire or Martin Borgmeier if u wanna do some long drive golf content. That’ll be super dope

It's really weird when some people are just naturally good at so many things. It's even weirder when they aren't easily dislikable.

What a legend

Man this guy is Bryson Deeeeeeechambooooo on steroids! Brilliant video and pretty good golfer as well

I wouldn't have expected a WSM to have that level of coordination and flexibility to compete in long drive...no disrespect to strong men, but I also wouldn't expect a pro golfer/long driver to be at all competitive in WSM. Bravo

That is so impressive!! Would love to play a round of golf with you!!

Would love to see you do some videos with Kyle or Martin

You need to turn your body on the back swing as much as you do going forward. Also, loosen up your grip so that your wrists stay nice and loose.

Love this content Mitch!!

People don’t realize how insane it is to hit the ball that far. Most pros don’t come close to that.

"Mitchell Hooper plays golf with Rick Shields" or maybe the title will be "WORLDS STRONGEST MAN plays golf with Rick Shields"", NEXT?

Earned a sub, your videos are awesome man! Well done sir

Old Kiwi guy has quite a bent over stance, I wonder if that compromises posterior chain engagement? The follow through requires a bit of back contraction? I dunno...

awesome to see u into golf

This guy is impressive... 144 club head speed is insane.
