Very nice. I think Martin got a bit nervous (maybe? considering the wind conditions?) when asked to hit the draw and closed the clubface to end up hitting a pull draw to make sure the ball ended up left. If he would have let the clubface stay open, I think he would have hit a nice push draw.

This video exemplifies why I don't watch that show or read magazine tips. Lots of misinformation.

I don't think he would have. A push, maybe, but I don't think he was in enough to hit a push-draw. Consider how far outside his foot line the camera was and how little "under" the club appeared even from that view at P6.

I think the only real way he knows how to hit a draw is a pull-draw. You saw his massive pull-slice before it.

Yes, I was expecting a much tighter shot cone from a major championship winner.

I think I have read a thread on this show before (maybe the Tour Pros: Draw v. Fade thread) and it's obvious that he didn't hit the shots that they were looking for...maybe a number of different variables coming into play, who knows. What I learn is that Michael Breed may not be the best at articulating what he's trying to get across very well. AND what we feel like we are doing may look completely different.

I think it's safe to say that Martin Kaymer can hit better draws and fades than what we saw in this show or he wouldn't be near the top of the world rankings.

That was just flat out a pull with a touch of draw.

A touch of draw? My push-draws don't draw that much. Heck, my duck hooks barely draw that much.

Muhu, please don't bash my fellow countryman... Really bad performance, though.
The least thing Marting could do is smile and keep silent - that was well done :D Even Breed made the best of it, but to the average golfer it is totally misleading. Doesn't the golf channel have editors reviewing such things before airing? Breed should've prevented it. Or was it live?

When I saw the "fade" I chalked it up to the wind (which appeared to be going left-to-right). Then I saw the "draw". Imagine what that would have been without wind!

And was Breed wearing pink pants?

It just looked ugly to me. It seemed like he just pull the hell out of it.

I believe the idea of the show is that it's live. So I don't believe the magic of editing was available.

Yeah, Martin Kaymer sucks. How can he be the best player in the world when he can't stay within his shot cones?!?!? What a ridiculous, f*****g poser!!! An he has the audacity to be German on top of it! He can't even hit a proper draw! How'd he even get a tour card? He's no Charlie Wi, that's for damn sure!

Look at Martin's face at 3:26 he knows that, that shot went terribly bad, but I believe that he felt a bit of pressure hahaha!

Cool down - no need to go right wing on someone here. Your statement is very offending...

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
