I can't stand watching Barnes swing. It is so darn ugly. Granted he's 10X the golfer I'll ever be, but is that swing not fun to watch.

And the dude gets away with everything he hits. He hits it in the fescue twice and still makes bogey. Gotta give him some credit though, he's not COMPLETELY blowing up like he could be.

I still thing Barnes is going to end up holding on, personally.

To clarify the lazy hips comment... Barnes is quick, but is not turning or posting up on the left hip, so he get way ahead and flips it through to catch up. Looks like a big hip move, but it really is not posted or braced up -- I do that sometimes and call it the lazy hip move. Whole body slides forward, arms take over, left side/hip not controlling the swing. Compare to Fisher and Weir and its is easy to see their controlled power, even though they are little guys.

... really disappointed at how the leaders are limping home thru the 1st nine. I'm not surprised at Ricky Barnes - has hasn't been here at this big a stage - but Phil's front 9 was especially disappointing until hole 9. This championship is right there for him to TAKE.

Two birdies and one bogey doesn't really count as making a move when you're 4 back with 3 to play.

Wow, what a meltdown by Barnes. Of course this is what separates champions from 2nd tier players. Looks like FIGJAM is going to take advantage. That was a gorgeous approach shot he hit on 13.

Dont know how many of you are watching on USOpen.com, but how annoying are the comments that are posted on the bottom right??? I feel like I'm playing Halo online with a bunch of 15 year old kids screaming in my headset!

I definitely agree! Now I really wish I would have stayed home from work today to watch instead of watching online at work.

If you hover over the video section, and hit the expand button just to the left of the mute button, it maximizes the video to fill the window and gets rid of the idiot comments.

I positioned the window so that the comments section is cut off the far right hand side of the screen.

I noticed it was a lot more choppy today, I switched it over to low connection speed quality.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
