Camilo Villegas?

Anthony Kim?

I've noticed these two young guys similarly have the same goals on tour. In 08, both were seeking their first wins. Anthony got 2 that year. Camilo got his first at the BMW champs, but won the Tour championship within 3 weeks. This year AK has statistically played better, but Camilo stands at world's 14 as Anthony's at 15, right behind him. Camilo also has more earnings, but AK made significantly more this year. I understand this year isn't over yet.


These two golfers are fun to analyze, as they both are getting dynamic fast . Although here's a major key: Camilo's been around a little longer, turned to the tour at 04 whereas Kim joined the tour at 06. Will AK surpass?

We'll see who plays better at the PGA Championship

I like Kim's game more as a player. But Anthony Kim is a little bit overrated and overhyped at times.

I can't stand Kim and agree that he's overhyped...talented, but overhyped. I think McIlroy will be far better, but he's not in this equation.

I am just not a fan of Villegas' swing. AK has a stronger foundation.

I say AK but only as i think the guy's awesome! Dude is super talented and by getting himself a personal trainer, etc. he looks like he's gonna try and concentrate on golf! Camilo is also a quality player but i think, if he stays healthy, AK will be back challenging for most of the events that he plays in!

I vote AK.

He has a better swing and I think that he has more talent burried deep down inside. For a smaller dude, he absolutely rips the ball, and he plays with no fear. AK's biggest opposition is himself. He doesn't have that mature mentality like Tiger does. But then again, After Tiger won the '97 Masters (He was only 21 I think) he did a lot of growing up himself. Ultimately, if AK keeps his head on straight and continues at the rate he's doing, he will be great.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
