I found this the most interesting photo. I always believed that you need to keep golf balls warm to get distance, odd!

They want to test them all at the same temperature. It's called a control in a scientific experiment. The control assures the results are all consistent. They likely test them at many different temperatures.

And, for those of you who don't think fitting is important:

A warmer golf ball will go farther, but like Shanks said they were likely just using them for testing.

Indeed, but if you read the article it states:

I don't know, but that makes me think it is a fridge rather than a incubator.

The sonic drink is on its side with the lid off and the article says its an incubator.

That problem solved, I wouldn't mind hanging out in that facility for a while...

Yeah, again, it doesn't really matter

And like someone else said, the article said the balls were at the "perfect temperature for launching" and that piece of paper says "COR Cannon". Both of which seem to indicate that the balls are being kept at an optimal temperature, not just colder/warmer for testing.

Yeah, that would be my guess too. I'm assuming the USGA also has some sort of temperature set for the testing of ball COR.

      You start pushing forward at P2. You start visibly moving forward at P3. Waiting until the top is way too late, yeah.

      My Swing (Grizvok)

      By Grizvok · Posted

      100%. I've been guilty my entire time golfing of trying to fit everything imaginable into the .25 second downswing. Sometimes I think it's partly influenced by my backswing length and that if things were slightly longer on the way back, they'd be better synced up on the way down. I also kind of lack a transition. Was doing the practice swing drill today a decent bit where I was feeling like as the club got to the top, the feel of the weight was shifting me forward and initiating the fall into the lead leg. I loved this drill before for this reason and because I need to stop thinking of the golf swing as backswing and downswing.

      Angle isn't perfect. Just found my TST alignment stick, so will make sure video angles are better in future videos. Focus right now is lower body and lower body only. If I make a single post here for the foreseeable future about anything NOT lower body focused, I need to be slapped (I will make an occasional note on unrelated stuff I might be seeing). It's not perfect by any means, but there is a decent bit I like about this swing. Lower body is definitely better than it was pre-TST meetup instruction. There are some things that are tough to see I think I'm doing better like where pressure is going into the trail foot and keeping that trail hip internally rotated. Need to keep feeling those. I think I do my best work when the trail leg keeps its flex on the backswing or at most loses a degree. Keeping the flex (but obviously not adding any) seems to help feel like I'm loading the right glute and to keep the hip internally rotated. Not totally sold on this though. I think my work on adding flow during the TST COVID-19 lessons really helped even though its been quite some time. Shift -> rotate -> shift -> rotate. I just need more out of my hips. It's not drastic, but it's everything. I think it will help sync up a lot regarding my swing and more power to boot. Unrelated note: I hate my negative spine angle.
