Golf’s Longest Hitter Trusts Makefield With the Shortest Shot
Oct 21, 2026
Four-time World Long Drive Champion and world record holder partners with a PA putter maker, with his sights set on the PGA TOUR and a major championship
BENSALEM, PA, October 21, 2026 -- Makefield Putters, maker of precision-milled putters featuring patented Radial Cusp Face Technology, today announced a partnership with Kyle Berkshire, four-time World Long Drive Champion and holder of the longest fully verified drive in history at 579.63 yards.
Berkshire, whose swing has produced the fastest ball speed ever recorded at 241.6 mph, built his name on distance. Now he’s bringing that same obsession with performance to the other end of the game.
“Every drive I’ve ever hit, no matter how far, ended with a putt,” said Berkshire. “When I rolled a Makefield for the first time, the ball came off the face differently. No skid, no hop, just rolling on my line immediately. I’ve spent my career chasing speed. This putter is how I’m going to chase scores.”
Berkshire’s ambitions reach beyond long drives. He has set a public goal of competing on the PGA TOUR and becoming the first player to win a major championship with a Makefield putter in his bag.
“Kyle has already done something no human has ever done,” said Everett Farr, founder of Makefield Putters. “When the most explosive athlete in golf tells you the thing he trusts is your putter, that says everything about why we build them the way we do. We’re proud to be in his bag for whatever he does next.”
In Kyle’s Bag: Berkshire games the Makefield VS in Black, the original Makefield design, fitted with a KBS CT-Tour Double Bend shaft in black gloss and a Garsen Quad Tour grip in red. His exact setup is available at makefieldputters.com.
Every Makefield putter is CNC-milled in the USA from a single billet of steel in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Radial Cusp Face Technology eliminates the skid phase that pulls putts offline, verified through independent Quintic Ball Roll analysis measuring 60+ parameters of impact and roll.

Can China turn national power into world leadership?
As turbulence grows in many countries, it is tempting to ask if there is a global hegemon that can sort everything out fairly. US President Donald Trump has threatened that his country would not defend Nato allies if they failed to spend enough on their defence. Together with new trade barriers, his words suggest that the US is scaling back its ambitions for global leadership and concentrating more on its own region. Our latest projections of national strength for 2027 take into account...

Terracotta warriors were mainly built by women and children, batch fingerprints show
Some 5 metres (16.4 feet) underground near one of China’s oldest cities lies the life-size army of thousands of terracotta warriors. The purpose of the army, located 35km (22 miles) northeast of historic Xian, was to protect China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, in the afterlife. The Terracotta Army was buried with him after his death in 210BC. Now, a new study shows that a portion of the terracotta warriors was largely made by adult women and minors, not solely by men as previously...
