The problem with this is that his opponents affected the outcome of his batting.

still 99.94 will never be achieved again. And bowlers could bowl a full stride closer than they can now since the rule used to be back foot behind the line as opposed to front foot

Driver: Taylormade R11 set to 8*
3 Wood: R9 15* Motore Stiff
Hybrid: 19° 909 H Voodoo
Irons: 4-PW AP2 Project X 5.5
52*, 60* Vokey SM Chrome

Putter: Odyssey XG #7

Ball: Titleist Pro V1x

Tough to compare these two as they are playing in two completely different eras. Same reason you can't compare Babe Ruth to Albert Pujols.

I tend to think the pool of talent is so much bigger now with the numbers of golfers and courses there are today vs in the past that it's harder to win multiple majors now than it was in the past,...
So, I Think it's Tiger for all his crazy good shots he's played over the years,... he's got work to do now to pass Jack but I don't go by just those numbers,...

I tend to think in the same way as Trevino on the subject as to who was and is better. Trevino says that with todays equipment,..........Jack would be hitting the ball almost 400 yards. Of course that is exaggeration on Lee's part, but it would be fun to watch.

So what? Jack's competitors had the same equipment he did... as do the opponents Tiger faces today.

Never mind that Lee's wrong...

    • When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.    
    • Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
