It makes me wonder if putting on weight was necessary for Bryson to get longer? Could he have made all these distance gains with just speed training?

I wonder if it is to help keep him healthy. He's got a lot more support now for the higher swing speed.

I think he will, Finau and his coach just talked on their podcast on July 31st about how their plan is that he is now starting to train more speed in practice with the goal to take more fuller swings and let some go when the hole presents him with the opportunity to do so in tournaments.

This was a good listen. He talks about cracking a golf ball at 206 when he was younger in front of Phil Mickelson. And some details on how he went about increasing his distance. Here is the episode.

I feel like DJ has a lot left in his speed tank. There's very little jumping in his driver swing, he seems very planted and it's effortless even in slo-mo. I wonder what he could do going all out

Given his frame I'd reckon that you are spot on. I wouldn't change a thing if I were him, as he actually wins loads of tournaments, unlike Finau.

I think DJ has an innate ‘governor’ on aggression. Like yesterday when he rolled that 40’ (?) for eagle on 18. For a split second he was pumped then dialed it back to a mild fist pump. I’m not sure DJ ever just ‘lets it go.’

I wonder why he feels like this?  Why can't he get fully excited... that's being true to yourself and that's what fans like.  When Tiger starts shooting in the 80's I still want to see that fist pump... he practically invented it.

It's no doubt that level heads make for level golf. Even Tiger, who will let off fist-pumps or show anger sometimes, always dials it back before the next shot. It's one of the reasons why I think Sergio doesn't have as many PGA wins as he maybe could have, and why I think that Rahm will follow in Sergio's footsteps. Emotions and solid golf don't mix. Speith may be another prime example of this. Once his fire went out and it turned to anger, he hasn't been the same since.

But Vinsk's observations were of DJ on #18... he could have let it rip.  Nothing left in the round to stay calm about...

I'd respond that he knew there was still work to do....if it was today, then sure, he could be pumped up. I personally like the focus and cool he shows on the course. Brooks is similar on course, showing little to no emotion, and I think that is a big reason why he has found success too. Unfortunately he has been making some silly comments lately and I don't like him quite as much as I used to.

Hoping DJ ends up making a 25 footer to win on the final hole.  I want to see his enthusiasm.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
