00:00His average drive that week was 323 yards.
00:03That'd be a really long week now.
00:05But in 1997, with a little spoiler alert, a 43 and a half inch, 130 grams steel shafted driver and
00:14a wound golf ball.
00:15It's just ridiculous.
00:16He had 180 miles an hour plus ball speed, which is well above PGA Tour average now, and over 320
00:23yards.
00:23I can't even tell you with that equipment how mind blowing that is.
00:26What's that in today's money if we were to like sort of translate that?
00:29I mean, is it even like if you gave that human being, i.e. Tiger in 1997, today's equipment?
00:35Yeah, you'd need to know the input.
00:37You'd need to know what that club head speed was to be able to go, well, okay, that would probably
00:42equate to this output.
00:43And you were just guessing that club head speed because it wasn't measured then.
00:48But I very much believe that week he was swinging over 130 miles an hour consistently all week.
00:54What that would translate to today with a 45.75 inch graphite shafted driver doesn't even bear thinking about that.
01:02He was a joke.
