Swing has great tempo & all the speed is at the bottom.
Obviously, he's strong & loaded with fast twitch.
I'd be far more surprised if someone told me he "only" could hit it 280.
I'm still not buying that video unless the lack of perspective means that ball landed farther out than i think.
Warm up or no, there's no way he hits driver only 165 with that swing. He can probably hit a 9 iron that far!
Geez, even i could hit a 5 iron to where that ball looked to splash down. And, I'm 65 and can't hit it anywhere, anymore.
