Golfers come in all shapes and sizes, but South Africa’s rising star, Christo Lamprecht, is a definitely outlier. At 6’8”, he’s not only one of the tallest professional golfers in the world, he’s also one of the fastest.
With mid-190’s ball speed (and a ceiling of ~210 mph), Christo is one of the premier athletes in golf. His blend of tremendous physical gifts, unique mechanics and elite power make him a fascinating case study.

Incredible how technology has changed & how good this will help others with the data & analytics with the golf swing. His transition is different but totally can be fixed.
He's almost using reverse vertical force with such a big leg collapse. Which means he's relying on his long arms for leverage and speed. My coach would have him sorted in a short amount of time. His 'super power' with the driver was impressive however he still definitely dropped too much without powering back upwards vertically. Also his concept to rotate left all the time (horizontally) rather than pushing up vertically needs to change. I thought these guys would have identified and pushed that a little more. Be interesting to see him in a year.
The bend in that shaft! 😮
i can teach better
Where can I book this guy in ?
Barron Trump could out drive him. Lol , Probably the same height.
As a acquaintance of Aiden Kramer … He said you are the real deal … Good Luck …
This is interesting data, does this apply to most players with above average CHS using verticals appropriately but in more smaller dosage?
How, just how does this channel only have 45k subs so far?!
Horrible swing, kneeling down so low he could kiss his knees. Lire Paula Creamer, but worse.
100% what I experienced as a junior as well. I'm not tall, only 5'9. But I had enormous lower body power, and learning to control wedges was a hassle. Now, 38 years old (22 years later) I just cruise around 127mph with the driver, and I can finally control wedges and short irons 😀
Damn that swing reminds me of Big Randy @NLU!
Longer iron shafts. NEEEEXT!
As someone who always feels like they're diving at the ball and getting stuck.. this really gives me something to think about. Cant wait to go mess around with this concept.
This was an excellent video, thank you for the education. I’m not 6’8” but christo and I have similarities in mobility and strength, and we have similar misses. I have changed my short term (and long term) goals to increasing full body strength and mobility.
I am also a tall player at 6,4 ft and had exactly the same problem . Missed greens after huge drives. I was doing the same
the best helping the best 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Dude is a MONSTER.
Who ?
That upper body strength makes sense, his shirt looks like its hanging off a coat hanger.
It would be interesting to play against this guy as am the best 80 yr old golfer in the world
SUPER POWER! super power? super. power.
Take a shot every time they say “super power”
I feel as though this could be a fix to Cam Smith’s chronic driver issues too. Please reach out to him if you agree – I’d love to see him carving up the majors 😅
