I was finishing watching the first round of the Pebble Beach pro am. To my horror, at the end they showed George Lopez's herky jerky swing in slow motion (or was it real time? who knows at those swing speeds) and he was swinging a Titleist 905!

Come on, he could be swinging @#%# on a stick and heh'd still hit it as far as he does now with that herky jerky swing. These guys get all the breaks; cushy jobs, tons of money, and the chance to play with pros. Now they get pre-released equipment too??? Titleist needs to draw the line somewhere since there are thousands of eager golfers around the country dying to get thier hands on these drivers and they give one to George Lopez? The guy's not even that funny, how many "White people are funny because . . ." jokes can we take????

I'm done ranting now , but I'm quite dissapointed in Titleist.

FWIW, Lopez has cracked me up a few times. Less than many people can admit to, but a few times here and there.

For all we know, with all the Titleist gear the guy wears, he's "on staff." Y'know? I don't begrudge him what he's accomplished, and celebrity breeds endorsement.

Call it "Titleist ramping up for release." Remember when the Smothers Brothers did a commercial for Callaway, was it? Maybe a Lopez/Titleist ad isn't to far in the distance?

I'd like to try the 905, and probably will when my pro shop gets some in. But I'm happy with what I have now... and have new irons and a 503.H coming in!

You know, I wouldn't be so irritated if Lopez was good. I'm not a big Kenny G fan, but if he had a 905 I'd be okay with it because he's a great golfer and could probably benefit from one.

George Lopez has come a long way and bettered his life considerably, for that he should definatley be admired. However, i still think he's got a long way to go to better his golf swing!

I thought Lopez took up the game recently, so I was going to give him credit for having a decent swing.

Turns out he's been playing nearly 20 years.

    • Day 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
