Wilco Nienaber’s Big Drive

[MarkB10]

Does anyone know what Driver/shaft combo he used for his poke this morning on the European Tour?

[Pingman2019]

Looks like g410 with kuro Kage xd

[9400]

Looking at Getty Images it appears he had a G425 driver in Cyprus as of late October. A couple images from today are less clear but still appear to be the G425 with a Kuro Kage shaft.

The dude is filthy long!

[JStang]

Such effortless power. Bryson looks like he could have an aneurism and / or shart his pants at any given moment.

[phizzy30]

Just saw the kid's swing and all I can say is WOW!  Effortless power is right.  He's not swinging out of his shoes and has perfect balance.  Ball speed is over 190+mph consistently.  No wasted moves or energy transfer.  I would say that this is as close to the prototype swing you could hope for.  Amazing.

Yeah the white pants got to go for him... should make brown his color.

[SUPERG]

He has the most stereotypical European tour name 😂😂😂

[Valtiel]

Wow, insane power from such a clean motion. I hope he stays healthy and we see a lot more of him. 

[beluga99]

"Borderline obsene!" 

 

[elwhippy]

Timing and balance. 

[Hedgehog]

That's filthy. We have seen huge bombs over the years at Johannesburg due to the elevation (1700m) and extreme heat, but it's still awesome to see a tour player hit it over 400m.

 

G425 LST maybe for him?

In South Africa they would say " Hy het die ball f$%kken donerse bliksimse ge p$*s klap". Sorry Can't provide the translation without being suspended from the board, even though the naughty words have been bleeped out. But my SA compatriots will know exactly what it means.

Missed the fairway....scrub /s

Jo'burg is 5,700 feet above sea level.....like Mexico city events, ball TRAVELS...

Not quite.  Closer to Denver elevation of 5280 ft vs Mexico City at 7200 ft

[phizzy30]

He's currently -8.  Not only is he ridiculously long, he's got game as well. 

[ProjectX_Mizuno]

Anyone have a WITB for this guy? Looks like he has some Nippon irons shafts? 

[Puppetmaster]

Great swing indeed, such balance despite the speed. I enjoy watching Thomas Pieters and Gary Woodland for the same reason.

Lat week in Cyprus at sea level par 5 650 yards he flew an iron on the green and Golf TV have a hit 3 balls total distance over 1000 yards He managed 1057 yds again at sea level. Boy is way long........

 

 

[iNeedMoreGolf]

If i was 6foot7 i could hit the ball 500yrds too lol... imagine watching the ball in the air for 450yrds when 260 feels huge lol. I think they are lying they can see the ball that far.. just looks for the cam like oh yeah i see it let me hold my finish  and stare at that bird going across... turns to caddie... was it good?

[cardoustie]

It's incredible because he is so long but doesn't look like deShampoo or a typical LD guy

 

Jealous, would love that speed or even some of it

 

I'm guessing he can swing 140 if he wants to

[endy]

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat.....ah nevermind, pretty impressive I guess LOL. Reminds me a lot of Champ's seemingly effortless move on the ball, but make no mistake, these guys are going after it even when it doesn't appear so.  

[jholz]

Was watching the highlights last night on Youtube. Beautiful swing. Looks to have a pretty complete game. How is it I've never heard of this guy before?

 

 

[drbonesvt]

Ball doesn’t appear to be tee’d all that high , maybe 25% above the crown, not a Uber low loft head possibly.    effortless power 

[SwingBlues]

I see he does not need any new WRX HAWTNESS like the KHT Autoflex 😋

Is he really 6'7?  I had him pegged at 6'3 maybe 6'4.  Tall guys def have the advantage.  Long levers gives them more time to get the club head to impact thus more time to gather speed from the top, down.  Us short guys have to swing out of our shoes to produce swing speed.

I see that you ended up with the Ventus Red 9x in your 3 metal.  How's it working out for you?

Have to agree that p___ klap is the right word to use in this instance. But even if you translate it in English it will loose it’s meaning in translation. The closest I could get is a snot clap, but just a lot harder
