Kyle Berkshire sets a new speed record by hitting the golf ball in the simulator at a staggering 236.2 MPH

Long drive hitter Kyle Berkshire reiterated why he’s revered for his deadly swing and set a new record.

The American nearly put a ball into orbit while in a simulator – a tough feat – hitting it at 236.2 MPH.

Amazingly, it wasn’t an isolated case. In fact, on three separate occasions, Berkshire achieved previously untouched speed.

Nor did he reach these tempting speeds in his first three trips. During the entire session, the world’s #1 World Long Driver took 70 swings, according to Golf.com.

Despite breaking the TrackMan ball speed record, the 26-year-old remains unsatisfied.

“Honestly it’s frustrating because I think I peaked at 158.9 [mph]’ he told Golf.com. “I probably had 238 [mph] in the tank. I just didn’t quite get it.

“I just didn’t have that crazy ball where I was smoking and swinging really fast at the same time,” Berkshire continued.

“You have to line this up somehow. I haven’t had that in a few sessions, but it will happen.

“Now I could go to any meeting [237 or 238 mph]but it’s a new personal TrackMan record of over a mile per hour for me.’

“Going 236.2 is great, but we still have more in the tank.”

Berkshire previously trained with LIV golf star Bryson DeChambeau. However, the latter does not quickly become dangerous for his compatriot in the game of speed.

DeChambeau set a personal record of 219 mph during the 2021 World Long Drive Championships.
