2026 WLD Senior Championships in the books. Congratulations to Robert Oristaglio for winning the title in the finals vs @ryan_ehlers1

Quick Recap on my event - I came up short of my goal of making the top 8 this year........ not even making it to the round of 16 after starting the day with my longest drives of the season at 383 and 386 yards.

I followed that with a 3rd and another set win to sit at 450 points after 3 sets. Main goal was to get balls in play and secure enough points to move on. A lackluster 325 ball took 4th, followed by a 340 ball is set 5 to take another 25 points to finish at 500 points in 9th place. Gane over

My warmup was the best I have had all year, I hit 195.7 on the Golfjoy monitor early on in competition and was feeling fantastic on the grid.

Learned a few lessons from this result and it has lit a new fire that will result in me working harder than ever to improve on this season's end result.

Thanks to the @worldlongdrive team and all of the volunteers for putting on the event, @wildcreekgolf for hosting. Wish the course was open to play after the event.

Had a blast watching and cheering friends @trevorscott_apexfc T-9 @mattybombs T-5 @c_roc_n1 T-3 on Saturday as well as all of the other competitors who made it to Saturday.

Congrats to @nickdileo_ you were a beast in Friday and Saturday and rose to the occasion in your rookie year! And same goes for @abbylongdrive for winning the women's division- incredibly consistent hitting from start to finish!

Already looking forward to next season and the road to 200 mph ball speed and beyond.

Thanks to Chris at @apexdiamond39 for designing and building my new favorite shafts, @hiitsgolf for an awesome speed training driver, @rotexmotion for the best mobility equipment to keep me moving, @aeroswing for my favorite warm up tool and trainer, @synergystretch_wellnes for again keeping the whole field stretched out and ready to perform their best. See you in 2027! 💪💪

💁‍♂️ Testimonial #197

Name: Chris N****
Age, handicap, SS: 51, +4.1, 136mph
Height: 5'9"
Swing style: Hitter with aggressive downswing transition
Driver: Callaway Parodym LD 4.5°
Shaft: FreeFlex FF 38 TBT 3.0

Feedback: Gained over 6 mph Ball Speed vs current shaft!! (Kinetixx Hypersonic D1)

In the first test run with the FF 38 TBT 3.0, Able to reach new PR for Ball Speed 207.9 mph!!

It allows me to cruise @ mid 135 mph Club Head Speed for a longer duration to continue to hit longer drives over & over. The FreeFlex does the majority of the work so I don't become exhausted 👍
Less effort, still maintaining maximum results!

Special thanks to @c_roc_n1 for the review 💪
