I think Amanda Balionis is one of the best things to happen to golf media coverage in a long time. Knows her stuff and is creative. Gives the pro the mic and sits back. Cool stuff. What do u think?

definitely easy on the eyes.   She's better than some of the other women that have interviewed golfers.

Anytime announcers talk less rather than more, it’s a good thing.   ;-)

I like her commercial with the guy who tries the hero shot and she calls him out on laying up being a better choice.

Yes, she seems genuine. Unpretentious. There is nothing else not to like.

Truth. Agreed she does a good job of it. She was handicapped at first by them trying to make her use stupid, pointless technology, but that went away (thankfully).

Yes, she is all that.

But her hand gestures (stretching fingers, all apart) like she's having an episode of some kind, is unnerving, to me at least. I have to make a real conscious effort to not get distracted by them...

I think the term you are looking for is 'engaging'....lol!

I like her a lot.  Decent interviews, let's the pros talk.  Avoids the stock/goofy questions.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
