Most people here have no idea what these people are actually like in real life. I know Erik had an encounter with IJP a while back, but if you're gonna hate on someone, at least give reasoning for it. And I am surprised about the dislike of the Molinari brothers. Perhaps jealously at their success? I don't know.

Who said anyone is hating anyone here? This is a game. I didn't pick the Molinari brothers because I hate them. I like everyone on the list, but I personally picked them because out of all of the players on the list I like them the least.

Just wondering why he isn't a guy you'd root for?

Just wondering why he isn't a guy you'd root for?

He never closes off a game.

I watched one tournament this year and he was leading going down the back 9 and it ended up in a 3 man playoff (Gydos was in it) I'm not that big into people who out-muscle courses too, I like watching luke donald play, He's not a long hitter but is a good ball striker. Same with Jiminez. He doesn't have the same appeal as Mickleson, Mickleson finds it hard to close off games and tries to out-muscle the course (and it ends up blowing up in his face) But he has an amazing short game and I love watching his chip-shots.

Even without his comment, I think it's pretty obvious none of us are rooting for the guys we're voting against. Why don't you root for Luke Donald? He seems like a nice guy.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
