First World Long Drive in the books! 🚀⛳️

What an exhilarating experience!

Unfortunately, I didn’t make it past the Last Chance Qualifier, but I walked away with so much more than just a result.

The atmosphere was incredible, the energy was unreal, and the people made the entire experience unforgettable. One of the coolest parts was finally meeting so many competitors I’ve followed and watched online. Getting to meet them in person, talk golf, and compete alongside them was awesome!

Nothing but respect for everyone who stepped onto that grid. The talent, power, and camaraderie were on another level!

As for me, this was my first taste of World Long Drive competition, and I learned A LOT.

Now it’s time to get back to work. Reevaluate my training, experiment with equipment, build more speed, and most importantly, become a better and more consistent competitor.

No excuses. Just lessons learned, adjustments to make, and plenty of motivation to keep improving.

Huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible and to all the competitors who made it such an amazing experience.

Back to the drawing board. The journey continues! 🥷

I COULDNT GET EVERYONE I NEEDED BREAKS AND WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL 🫠

CONGRATS NICK DELIO, ROBERT ORISTAGLIO AND ABBY MARTING

🚀 200+ MPH BALL SPEED. FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. 💣

Proud of @clauderobinsgolf as he gets ready to compete in his FIRST World Long Drive Championship in Reno! 🏆

Claude came in for one final checkup and tune-up before the big stage, and it’s incredible to see how far he’s come.

He’s now cruising at 200 MPH ball speed with a 46-inch driver! 🔥

We’ve put in the work, cleaned up his movement, and continued building speed without sacrificing efficiency.

Now it’s time to trust the work, let it fly, and enjoy the experience!

Proud of your progress, Claude. Go put on a show in Reno! 💪💣

Wait till we get him in a 48”. Imagine what 2 inches can do 😂

One last push before Reno. 🥷⛳️

I’m not going to lie. Confidence isn’t exactly at an all-time high right now.

I know how fast these guys are. I know what it takes to compete at this level. And right now, I’m questioning whether I have enough speed to get it done.

But one thing I won’t question is my effort.

I’ve been putting in the work, making adjustments, testing equipment, and pushing myself as hard as I can.

Maybe it’ll be enough. Maybe it won’t.

But I refuse to show up wondering if I could’ve done more.

One last chance. One last push.

Reno, here we come. 🥷🔥 @worldlongdrive

NUKES NIGHT with Forelinks 🧤💣

Everybody says the glove doesn’t matter… so here’s the evidence. Better grip. More confidence. More freedom to actually send it. When you’re trying to move the club as fast as possible, that matters.

I’ve been wearing Forelinks during speed work and long drive for a reason. If you want to swing hard, you better be able to hold onto it.

Code CLAUDE10 if you wanna try it for yourself.

Road to Reno — Day 14 🌙💣

210 is still the target, and we’re coming for it. Went back to the TPT tonight for Night Nukes because it’s lighter, faster, and right now every extra mph matters.

No coasting into Reno. We’re testing everything, pushing everything, and hunting for another gear.

And there might be a new shaft getting thrown into the fight real soon… 👀

210 or nothing.

Had a great session last night at @hagginoaks getting ready for @worldlongdrive finals next week in Reno. Thank you @anthonyperez25 for the video. #golf #longdrive #workout #fitness #golfswing

I thought this swing had already earned its way to @worldlongdrive Worlds.

At the regional qualifier, I qualified — then later found out that result wouldn’t count.

So now there’s one more shot.

Reno. Last Chance Qualifier.

16 days to build this swing back up, find more speed, tighten up the strike, and try to earn that spot again.

Definitely some redemption on the line, but more than anything, I’m excited to see how far I can push myself in the next couple weeks.

Back to work. 🥷💣

RENO → WLD WORLDS.

Road to Reno — Day 4/22 🎯

All about feels today. Med-ball rotation slams, checking the swing in the mirror, quickening up the backswing and feeling pressure go down into the ground so I can transfer it back up through the ball.

Build the movement. Then chase the speed. 💣

Road to Reno — Day 3/22 🚀 Today’s mission: chasing 200 mph ball speed.

Not swinging just to see a big number — learning how to create speed I can actually repeat when it matters.

145 club speed is becoming normal.
148 is the number I want available.
210 ball is the end goal.

But first… 200 has to become automatic.One session at a time. One number at a time. Reno is getting closer. 💣

ROAD TO RENO — DAY 1. 🌎💣

I’ve got one mission: show up to my first World Long Drive Championship better than I’ve ever been.

Before Reno, there are 4 things I need to accomplish:

📏 Break my personal best of 413 yards
⚡ Reach 210 MPH ball speed
🧢 Land a deal with New Era
🚀 Make 145 MPH club speed my average, with 148 available when I need it

No hiding the numbers. No skipping the bad days. You’re going to see every session, every adjustment, every breakthrough and every setback.

Road to Reno starts now. 💣

Quick update from the @worldlongdrive Regional Qualifier 🥷💣

I previously posted that I had qualified for Worlds, but after the event I learned that I ultimately did not receive one of the qualifying spots.

We had some technical difficulties during the competition, which made for a complicated situation and required some adjustments to the qualifying process. The local organizers did everything they could to handle a difficult situation fairly with the information and circumstances they had. Nothing but respect and appreciation for them and everyone who worked the event. 🙏

Thank You @norcallongdrive

So officially, my road to Worlds isn’t over — it’s just taking a different route.

The Last Chance Qualifier in Reno before the World Championships.

Am I going?

Still deciding. 😂

But if I do… I’ve got a few weeks to get faster. 💣

Either way, this whole experience has been incredible. Long drive has pushed me outside my comfort zone as both a player and a coach, and I’m excited to see how far I can take it.

Back to work. 🥷
