WATCH: Rory McIlroy Achieves an Inhuman Ball Speed at the DP World Tour Championship

Hitting a golf ball with precision is hard by itself. And adding speed to the ball while maintaining precision is undoubtedly harder. And yet Rory McIlroy makes that seem like child’s play. The world no. 1 recently won the FedEx Cup, and he headed over to Dubai to compete on the DP World Tour. In the tournament there, the champ’s balls seem to be recording a speed of 190 mph, and not just once.

Rory’s ball records 190 mph once again

Ever since Rory McIlroy saw Bryson DeChambeau swing his club at a Major Championship in 2020, he knew he needed to improve his swing. He said, “I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t anything to do with what Bryson did at the U.S. Open.” Since then, Rory has worked hard on his swing, and although it took time, he has managed to perfect it.

McIlroy has now established himself as one of the PGA Tour’s fastest swingers, finishing in the top 10 this season and the previous two. His ball reached 190.59 mph during the 2022 season. It’s surprising people saw the ball fly after he hit it. The PGA Tour champ has done it again, twice!

Rory is currently playing in Jumeirah at the DP World Tour Championship. On the 17th of November, his ball recorded a speed of 190 mph. And today he did so again. Besides the impressive speed, the ball also flew with great precision, landing on the green just waiting to be holed.

Rory McIlroy explained the rough part of amending his swing

The path to getting these high-speed, impressive swings hasn’t been easy for Rory. It also affected his game at times. Back in 2021, when he had begun working on improving his swing, he didn’t even make the cut at The Players Championship.

His idea to increase the speed of his swing has left him with other swing flaws. He said, “I started to try to hit the ball a bit harder, hit a lot of drivers, get a bit more speed, and I felt like that was sort of the infancy of where these swing problems have come from.”

The champion had improved his swing speed, but he still needed to work on the other aspects that had been messed with. But it all turned out well enough for the world rank of 1. And unquestionably, he owes part of it to his fast swing,
