I think many of you will understand why.

If you're not sure why, consider the Charley Hoffman Winning Draw thread.

I'll be back in a bit. I need to go brush, floss, gargle, etc.

P.S. Including the image from his site as I don't want it anywhere on my accounts, anywhere. Ick.

Weird stuff. I wonder if his grip is weird too. I find it hard to believe that produces good results.

Straight back, straight down, but yeah.. the wrists. WHY? Why teach people to shake hands or roll their wrists or whatever else? The balls already 20 feet away. It's this sort of instruction that's ruining people. The best benefit of that"maneuver' would be if you ended up with a perfectly flat left wrist and squared club at impact. Repeatable maybe 1 in every ten shots? The timing to get that right just makes it all that much harder. Ridiculous. Start with a flat wrist, weight and shaft forward, bring it in then bring it out to the same position and hit a nice shot. Much more repeatable.

I think even non-golfers would wonder why the hell is he turning his club over like that.

Is that Bob Toski?

No. Follow the link, figure out what his website is... It's just some goofball.

Seems like his face is decent through impact and it's not until P8 that he drastically rolls his wrists over

Not true. The toe is 45° or so closed - almost 90 degrees closed to the plane - at P7.5.

Well-if he's already hit the ball I don't see how it would have any effect.

That's wrong. What you see at one point in the swing is indicative of what exists at virtually every point before that.

He wrote a dumb article somewhere and I followed the link from his byline to his website.

Speechless... there is nothing to say, except my eyes hurt. No, wait... it is the basis of a new book: "The Hack and Flip" -- a new way to swing.

No doubt that is a bit nasty but, with all due respect, I don't understand why all of a sudden Charley Hoffman has the perfect swing by which to measure others by. I have never anyone mention the clubface and Winning Draw on this forum before last weekend. Now, it is some sort of measuring stick.

If a player puts the ball in his cone, what does it matter how it looks like or what got him there? If my swing is, indeed, ugly but my results are consistent and I can repeat the swing every time, is it that big of a deal?

That last image is just wrong wrong wrong.

Nobody's saying any such thing. You're dramatically overstating things.

Charley Hoffman's video is great because it illustrates so well that the old BS about "releasing the club" (rolling the forearms over) to hit a draw is dead wrong. It illustrates it better than any shot I've ever seen on TV and is a great tool for teaching, learning, and understanding. But that's all it is. I don't think anyone here is overstating the importance of the Hoffman video except perhaps you in your post.
I have never anyone mention the clubface and Winning Draw on this forum before last weekend. Now, it is some sort of measuring stick.

I've said a bunch of times that a push draw is hit with a clubface open to the target. I've written perhaps tens if not a hundred posts on the topic.

It's just called "winning" because he won the tournament. It's just a thread title... Oh, and I didn't literally almost throw up in my mouth a little either. It, too, is just a thread title.
If a player puts the ball in his cone, what does it matter how it looks like or what got him there? If my swing is, indeed, ugly but my results are consistent and I can repeat the swing every time, is it that big of a deal?

Because this guy probably has either an incredibly big cone or he misses the cone frequently. You can't rotate the clubface that much and time it at the ball very consistently.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
