Thanks jeffgladchun for your time and effort to produce these results, i must have miss understood about the pound for pound thing lol, yeah, i like the look of this camillo villegas.

Mike Weir.. 5'9 155 - 286.9 yrds.

just had to add that. 1. Mike Weir.. he's Canadian, i dont know if its just because he carries are flag on his back but the guy is just all around fun to watch. He spends his time out driving guys twice his size, when the putters working he is one of the best with the flat stick, and he thrives on the most difficult stage in golf.. major championships. 2. Fred Couples.. this guy is incredibly fun to watch play golf, he looks like a short hitter but he just murders the ball. His swing is probably my favorite to watch overall even though it may not be technically sound. I hope he can get his back issues worked out and make a comeback next season. 3. Phil Mickelson.. generally mis-understood and under-rated. He has the most potential to take Tigers # 1 spot. I root for the under dog.. thats why i always liked Arny more than Jack. Phil reminds me of Arny in that regard. 4.There are a host of other players I root for when in contention.. Stephen Ames, Charles Howell, Camillo Villegas, Sergio Garcia, Ben Curtis, Paul Azinger, David Duval, John Daly, Vijay Singh, Jose Maria, Trevor Immelman.

Tiger - Transformed the modern game and attracted new fans.

Nicklaus - Not sure if we can include those retired, but he got me into golf when I was a kid watching him (in his twilight years) - 86 was a moment I won't forget.

Villegas - My friend played against him in college and told me to look out for him. I hope the best for him.

Poulter - Gotta love his style ....haven't got another reason.

1. Geoff Ogilvy- I dunno why, I hate Phil so I rooted for Ogilvy at Winged Foot. Ever since then, he has been my favorite player.

2. Tiger Woods- Love the dedication, mental and physical toughness, and what he has done for golf.

3. Nick Faldo- I wasn't a fan of golf back when he played, but I have heard about his competativness, and I like that. He is always a great announcer.

4. Paula Creamer- I just root for her in every LPGA tourny I see her in. She's also pretty hot.

This is a fun thread, can't believe I've missed it for so long.

David Duval- I'm losing hope with each passing tournament but he's still my boy.
Fred Couples- Cool cat simple as that. His swing and the way he carries himself.
Tiger- Top 4 player to me, just for the fact that he is making history and I get to watch.
Hunter Mahan- I've been really enjoying watching this kid, when he stepped up and won that event this year that showed he can hang. I think great things are coming for him.

Sergio Garcia - Seems to be hated in the golf community after "that spit" but he is perhaps the most talented guy out there and his ball striking is simply incredable. Plays with a flair which is lacking in golf these days and if he could sort his head out would surely be a multiple major winner.

Tiger Woods - Who can fail to be impressed. A golfing genius playing in our time, perhaps the greatest player the game has ever, and certainly the greates athlete. Short game is unrivalled and clutch putting spellbinding!

Phil Mickleson - A popular player who goes for broke, perhaps too often. Finally has the majors his talent warrented and no doubt he will win more under Harmon.

Nick Faldo - A single minded winner. Took the talent he had and built the most mechanical, repeatable swing possible around it. I love him for the will he had to win, his single mindedness, his 18 par round at the open, but most of all for the way he has now become a cult figure, warm and open, but still on the cutting edge when it comes to giving the young guys a tongue lashing. Going to be an awesome Ryder Cup captain, god help you yanks

So, so far we've got a lot of John Daly and Tiger Woods, with the occasional Nick Faldo, Sergio, or Phil Mickelson. (Can someone with the time/boredom actually tally up what we've got so far?)

Great article, but these guys lie on their weight worse than women. Phil has not been 190 since early in college.

By the way: 1. Tiger 2. Daly 3. Adam Scott 4. Geoff Ogilvey I am also a big fan of David Duval. I would love to see hime make a big comeback. If he could, it would vault him back into the top 4.

    • Day 1 - hit a few balls into net using 9i. Haven’t played but two rounds all year so needing to knock some dust off. Today just revisited some PP from the past (club back & up, extending trail arm)
    • Loving the deal I made.
    • Day 590, June 15, 2024 Worked the same as yesterday (link here to my Member Swing topic) on the QuadMAX and the same pieces. Clubhead speed stayed around 93-95 most of the time (after five warmups in the 89-91 range).
    • Some updates after using the Titan Elite for three rounds. This will be a semi-random assortment of thoughts. Battery The Titan Elite still says it has a full charge, so I'm not worried about the battery at all. Though a CR-2 battery will seemingly last more than a full season, the documentation for most of these rechargeable batteries says they'll last about ten rounds with Bluetooth on, and 40+ with it off. Not quite the years I get from a CR-2, but… not so few that "range anxiety," errrr, "battery anxiety" is a real thing. Plus, more carts have USB chargers for phones these days, and the supplied USB-A to USB-C charger should charge in a cart. (I keep a pair of USB cords in my golf bag these days anyway.) Heft and Magnets Previously in reviewing the NX9 I remarked on little things like the feel or heft of the unit as well as the strength of the magnet. Neither are concerns with the Titan Elite: the aluminum body gives the TE a satisfying heft, and the magnet — beneath the Precision Pro logo on the left side of the rangefinder — gives a satisfying pull with good strength. The Precision Pro App I won't be reviewing the app's functionality beyond that which directly interacts with/affects the Titan Elite. You can use the app to keep score and do other things, but I'm going to talk about MySlope and the Bluetooth connection almost exclusively. Basic App Features Unlike some other apps that require your phone to stay pretty much loaded up at all times, the Precision Pro app can work in the background. To get into the app quickly, you'll find a notification present on your lock screen at almost all times. Tap it and you're back into the app. The app will do basic performance tracking, but it's limited. Here you can see I selected a Driver, and basically, you do this when you're standing on the tee and, when you arrive at your ball, you tap a button to end tracking and the distance of your tee shot will be noted in the app. It's basic, and may fulfill a need, but I won't ever really use it. Slope Both the Titan Elite and the app feature slope capabilities. In the rangefinder itself, it's as you expect: you switch a button on the top of the rangefinder, and the slope turns on or off. It works just as you'd expect, and is nice and accurate. I'll say more in the MySlope section later. A small quibble: I have found myself accidentally hitting the button and toggling slope on/off a few times when grabbing the Titan Elite from the cart (it has a great magnet to stick to the cart). Accidentally turning the slope on could cost an honest player strokes in an event, so I wish the slope switch was either tougher to toggle, in a different location, or ideally, both. Also, the state isn't super obvious, to you or any people you're playing with, while other rangefinders make the state more obvious. In the app, you can turn slope on to use GPS/map elevation data to tell you what the effective playing distances of shots are, as seen here: MySlope I've never really cared for slope in rangefinders because I've never been totally certain that the slope calculations were right for me. Though you probably could assume about a 45° landing angle (which makes the math pretty easy - one yard up or down would equate to one yard longer or shorter in distance, until you get to larger elevation changes), the Titan Elite pairs with the app to let you put in literal launch monitor stats (not just carry yardages) — ball speed, launch angle, and spin — to calculate a ball flight/trajectory to adapt to any type of situation. In testing, I don't have the largest of slopes at Whispering Woods, but the numbers have felt pretty spot on. I'll continue to test this, particularly at some courses around Pittsburgh, and will post should I notice anything more. If you don't have the launch monitor stats for all of your clubs, you can either estimate the ones in the gaps, or just leave them blank and the app will make estimates. They'll still likely be better than the standard guesses from other rangefinders. MySlope requires your TE to be connected to your phone to work, though I haven't sought clarity on whether it will continue to work once you've connected the device to your phone the first time or whether the Titan Elite reverts to a stock slope model. I've emailed and will let you know the answer. GPS The Titan Elite has two modes — laser rangefinder mode and… GPS mode. The GPS uses your phone (and the Precision Pro app) to give you front/center/back yardages. Toggling is as simple as tapping a button on the top of the Titan Elite. For example, you can see "147 playing 144" in the laser mode, then tap a button and see that the front/center/ back are 143 / 155 / 167. You have almost all of the information you need to hit a good shot to the fat side of the green. 😄  Of course, GPS mode requires that your phone be with you (and somewhat recently woken up, as I had a yardage for a hole three holes ago once when I hadn't used or awoken my phone in awhile). I prefer to play golf without my phone on me, so on days when you can park a cart nearby (a push cart or a driving cart), no sweat. But on cart path only days? You might get some odd numbers, and should rely only on the laser rangefinder mode. In other words, if you have your phone on your or very close nearby, this is a nice feature. Otherwise, you won't find yourself using it much. Perhaps a future version will have a GPS chip in the rangefinder itself, and can do a little calculating (even if the map is just sent to the rangefinder from the phone on each new hole or something). Find My Titan If your Titan Elite disconnects from the phone for more than two minutes, you'll get an alert. If your TE is still with you, you can dismiss this, otherwise, you're shown a map with a red dot where your Titan Elite was last connected to your phone. It's not true "Find My" because the Titan Elite doesn't have a GPS chip in it, doesn't connect to the phones of strangers, etc., but it's helpful to know when you last used your Titan Elite, and given the range of Bluetooth isn't too far, and two minutes isn't too long, you should have a pretty good idea where your TE was last "seen" by your phone. If you get close but can't find it, you can ping your TE and it will beep. Some Extra Photos The eyepiece, like every other rangefinder I've used for the past decade or so, is adjustable focus. The USB-C port for charging and the Bluetooth on/off switch: The case is not quite the same as the usual "latch the elastic over a post" type case, and I kinda like this variation a lot. The slope on/off switch is the one with the green showing (green = slope is on). The button with the two arcs on it is the mode switch button: pressing it will switch between laser range finding and GPS range finding.
    • Great to hear. I am looking forward to making a trip. Tough to find a day right now but hopefully soon
