Bryson DeChambeau, who will compete in both the Ryder Cup and the long-distance driving world championship this month, said his hands are “destroyed” with the calluses of intense training for the events.
DeChambeau discussed his “two-day” program during a recent interview with Golf.com, saying he hopes the unique atmosphere at a North Carolina-based training complex will help unlock its “potential.”
Golf.com, which published the interview on Tuesday, described DeChambeau’s hands as silent and in need of tape.
“My hands have been shattered,” DeChambeau said. “People don’t realize how difficult the car ride really is.
“In golf, it’s the only thing you can judge your successes by a number. Not necessarily going out and playing golf, because you can grab a sprinkler or take a bad break or a bad wind. On FlightScope, you can see the “ball speed number, and when you get a ball speed number, it’s so different and unique. It’s like a pitcher throwing a new record number. He’s trying to find the full potential to open up.”
DeChambeau’s grueling routine consists of two 90-minute speed training sessions each day at Bobby Peterson’s one-stop shop in Newton Grove, North Carolina. He told Golf.com that he is gathering “endless knowledge about equipment, as well as about the technique, emotions and adrenaline that are produced for a long time.”
“You are talking about maximizing PR [personal records] at the gym, “he said.” It’s the same thing you do with speed workouts. When you touch this new number, everyone goes crazy. It’s just a great environment to be a part of. “
DeChambeau, who has the longest average driving distance on the PGA Tour, announced last month that he will be competing at the Professional Long Drivers Association World Championships in Mesquite, Nevada, on September 28th.
As for the Ryder Cup, which starts Sept. 24 on Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, DeChambeau doesn’t care that he trains too much.
“I do it every week,” he said. “Is it discouraging? Hell, yes. At first, when I tried to do it last year, it was very scary. But now that I’ve gone through it and experienced the worst pains and the most relaxed state where I’m not doing any training. speed, I know how to balance it for the most part. Why not bring it to life and do both? “
