He certainly has the right attitude.
“It’s not incredibly enjoyable,’’ he said. “But I’ll grind it out. I don’t ever give up. I have no reason to. I’m here.’’

I'm a huge Spieth fan (not quite to the point of @colin007 and Tiger, but close) However, I struggle to see him putting it back together. He has become more twitchy with his pre-shoot routine (al

He channeled his inner Els for the putting and Sergio for the green damage.

Like him or hate him, I enjoyed seeing JS and JT having it out in the top 10. Really hope  to see him get it back together.

Its like Wolfe and Morikawa. What a great competition that could make.

We're basically never going to have any real rivalries again because there are too many other people who will jump up into the mix.

The days of Jack vs. Arnie or Jack vs. Tom Watson are long gone.

Hard to play at the level Tiger played at for as long as he did.  Everyone seems to think the next young gun to win a major is gonna rattle of 10-12 of them over the next 15 years... it's clearly not that easy.  Once Tiger started to stumble, Rory was "next".  Then Jordan... then JT, now Collin and Wolff and Bryson.  Someday the game of golf will likely see another Tiger, but right now, there's just entirely to much young hungry talent.  But they get hot, then cool off, then get hot again whereas Tiger just... didn't cool off for 12 years or so.

A comment from earlier this year by Hank Haney ..

“I can show you player after player statistically,” Haney said.  “At one time on Tour, he (Spieth) was second in strokes gained tee-to-green. To get back to that number, it would take him at least three years, if it’s even possible.”

Currently, Jordan Spieth is 155th in strokes gained tee to green. Haney suggested that an “incredible” three-year progression might be 100th in strokes gained tee to green at the end of this year, 30th or 40th next year and 10th the following. But Haney said it is just going to take some time.

“You don’t go from 155th like to top 10,” Hank Haney concluded. “It doesn’t happen.  It’s never happened ever.”

Will he come back? It feels to me he is reverting to the mean.

It’s sad to see. Hate to see anyone struggle like He has done. Well, no one thought Tiger would return, and he won the Masters last year so anything is possible. Would be neat to see him play well again.

I've flipped.

Time to find a new coach. As of roughly 365 days ago. 🙂

You win, @Vinsk.

And no, that new coach isn't Butch, though JS spent an hour or two with him before the CJ Cup.

I'm starting to think the lack of slow-mo video from recent years and good camera angles isn't a coincidence?

Not sure how much is known or you know, but what change/changes did he make? I know he was trying to pick up an extra yard or two.

You gotta understand when Erik gives a one word answer. He knows there’s some opinion involved and some facts. Being that Erik is very educated in golf instruction and I am not, a simple ‘no’ means ...’no’ and no need to elaborate. 😃

I can elaborate, I just sometimes don’t want to.

Why would George be a “good fit”? Because he’s a “hot” instructor right now? What about GG makes him a good fit to take over with Jordan Spieth? What problem does Jordan have that George can fix?

So, I’ll turn it back around on you: why GG?

      You start pushing forward at P2. You start visibly moving forward at P3. Waiting until the top is way too late, yeah.

      My Swing (Grizvok)

      By Grizvok · Posted

      100%. I've been guilty my entire time golfing of trying to fit everything imaginable into the .25 second downswing. Sometimes I think it's partly influenced by my backswing length and that if things were slightly longer on the way back, they'd be better synced up on the way down. I also kind of lack a transition. Was doing the practice swing drill today a decent bit where I was feeling like as the club got to the top, the feel of the weight was shifting me forward and initiating the fall into the lead leg. I loved this drill before for this reason and because I need to stop thinking of the golf swing as backswing and downswing.

      Angle isn't perfect. Just found my TST alignment stick, so will make sure video angles are better in future videos. Focus right now is lower body and lower body only. If I make a single post here for the foreseeable future about anything NOT lower body focused, I need to be slapped (I will make an occasional note on unrelated stuff I might be seeing). It's not perfect by any means, but there is a decent bit I like about this swing. Lower body is definitely better than it was pre-TST meetup instruction. There are some things that are tough to see I think I'm doing better like where pressure is going into the trail foot and keeping that trail hip internally rotated. Need to keep feeling those. I think I do my best work when the trail leg keeps its flex on the backswing or at most loses a degree. Keeping the flex (but obviously not adding any) seems to help feel like I'm loading the right glute and to keep the hip internally rotated. Not totally sold on this though. I think my work on adding flow during the TST COVID-19 lessons really helped even though its been quite some time. Shift -> rotate -> shift -> rotate. I just need more out of my hips. It's not drastic, but it's everything. I think it will help sync up a lot regarding my swing and more power to boot. Unrelated note: I hate my negative spine angle.
