Noh, AK, and Rory if you go pound for pound I guess. I initially thought you were talking about "heavy" hitters.

AK is 5' 9" and 160 lbs. When I saw him at Barclays he seemed right around there. I should know since I'm 5' 9" and 150 lbs.

Okay, so he slightly below average height and is both fit and rather slight.

Had him pass right by me on his way to the next hole. I was suprised at how skinny he was because I knew he was heavier before.

I dunno but I saw Sergio hit what looked like about a 5 iron from the right fairway bunker on the par 5 13th at Torrey South that made the green (Buick Invitational). Maybe 5 years ago. I was observing with binoculars from behind the back bunker. What a frikkin' bunker shot that was - I didn't think it was possible. I remember saying to my friend standing next to me something like, "he's got an iron in his hand for Pete's sake, no way he's gonna make this shot, forgedabaaaadit ......".

Right now I think DJ has the most powerful looking swing out there. Incredibly athletic and free. If I tried that I'd end up in traction.

Driver: Cobra 460SZ 9.0, med.
3 Wood: Taylor stiff
3-hybrid: Nike 18 deg stiff
4-hybrid:
Taylor RBZ 22 deg regular
Irons:5-9, Mizuno MP30, steel

Putter: Odyssey 2-ball

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
