I was finishing watching the first round of the Pebble Beach pro am. To my horror, at the end they showed George Lopez's herky jerky swing in slow motion (or was it real time? who knows at those swing speeds) and he was swinging a Titleist 905!

Come on, he could be swinging @#%# on a stick and heh'd still hit it as far as he does now with that herky jerky swing. These guys get all the breaks; cushy jobs, tons of money, and the chance to play with pros. Now they get pre-released equipment too??? Titleist needs to draw the line somewhere since there are thousands of eager golfers around the country dying to get thier hands on these drivers and they give one to George Lopez? The guy's not even that funny, how many "White people are funny because . . ." jokes can we take????

I'm done ranting now , but I'm quite dissapointed in Titleist.

FWIW, Lopez has cracked me up a few times. Less than many people can admit to, but a few times here and there.

For all we know, with all the Titleist gear the guy wears, he's "on staff." Y'know? I don't begrudge him what he's accomplished, and celebrity breeds endorsement.

Call it "Titleist ramping up for release." Remember when the Smothers Brothers did a commercial for Callaway, was it? Maybe a Lopez/Titleist ad isn't to far in the distance?

I'd like to try the 905, and probably will when my pro shop gets some in. But I'm happy with what I have now... and have new irons and a 503.H coming in!

You know, I wouldn't be so irritated if Lopez was good. I'm not a big Kenny G fan, but if he had a 905 I'd be okay with it because he's a great golfer and could probably benefit from one.

George Lopez has come a long way and bettered his life considerably, for that he should definatley be admired. However, i still think he's got a long way to go to better his golf swing!

I thought Lopez took up the game recently, so I was going to give him credit for having a decent swing.

Turns out he's been playing nearly 20 years.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
