Very nice. I think Martin got a bit nervous (maybe? considering the wind conditions?) when asked to hit the draw and closed the clubface to end up hitting a pull draw to make sure the ball ended up left. If he would have let the clubface stay open, I think he would have hit a nice push draw.

This video exemplifies why I don't watch that show or read magazine tips. Lots of misinformation.

I don't think he would have. A push, maybe, but I don't think he was in enough to hit a push-draw. Consider how far outside his foot line the camera was and how little "under" the club appeared even from that view at P6.

I think the only real way he knows how to hit a draw is a pull-draw. You saw his massive pull-slice before it.

Yes, I was expecting a much tighter shot cone from a major championship winner.

I think I have read a thread on this show before (maybe the Tour Pros: Draw v. Fade thread) and it's obvious that he didn't hit the shots that they were looking for...maybe a number of different variables coming into play, who knows. What I learn is that Michael Breed may not be the best at articulating what he's trying to get across very well. AND what we feel like we are doing may look completely different.

I think it's safe to say that Martin Kaymer can hit better draws and fades than what we saw in this show or he wouldn't be near the top of the world rankings.

That was just flat out a pull with a touch of draw.

A touch of draw? My push-draws don't draw that much. Heck, my duck hooks barely draw that much.

Muhu, please don't bash my fellow countryman... Really bad performance, though.
The least thing Marting could do is smile and keep silent - that was well done :D Even Breed made the best of it, but to the average golfer it is totally misleading. Doesn't the golf channel have editors reviewing such things before airing? Breed should've prevented it. Or was it live?

When I saw the "fade" I chalked it up to the wind (which appeared to be going left-to-right). Then I saw the "draw". Imagine what that would have been without wind!

And was Breed wearing pink pants?

It just looked ugly to me. It seemed like he just pull the hell out of it.

I believe the idea of the show is that it's live. So I don't believe the magic of editing was available.

Yeah, Martin Kaymer sucks. How can he be the best player in the world when he can't stay within his shot cones?!?!? What a ridiculous, f*****g poser!!! An he has the audacity to be German on top of it! He can't even hit a proper draw! How'd he even get a tour card? He's no Charlie Wi, that's for damn sure!

Look at Martin's face at 3:26 he knows that, that shot went terribly bad, but I believe that he felt a bit of pressure hahaha!

Cool down - no need to go right wing on someone here. Your statement is very offending...

Think you missed the obvious.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
