The shot at 3:17 seconds is absolutely ridiculous.

HIS SPINE ANGLE IS SO DIFFERNT!

And omg look, he really needs to move the ball up in his stance too!

If you guys are up for round 2, heres Ricky, he needs to release those microfibers too.

:whistle:

"This change in his spine angle from address to impact makes it very difficult for Ricky to make good ball contact."

Yeah, his 'ball contact' is so poor he only knocks it out 300+ yards.

Oh yeah, Ricky's neck isn't flexible enough either, because he did Motocross..

Nonsense.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

Had to watch it again for the LOLz.....  Don't swing like Sam Snead because you'll develop the yips.  Instead, start your swing with your knees like golfing great Sam Snead.

I would be wiling to bet that Daly has a pretty big shoulder turn as well...

I will not even watch a Youtube Video that will not allow people to leave comments. If you are scared of comments then you must be full of bs...

I just found this thing the other day and saw there were old comments on it. Aside from all the silly music, Shakira comparison, etc., is there no basis to the contention that starting the downswing with the legs vs. hips? I do see the difference in the swings of Palmer, Nicklaus, etc. vs. Woods.

This guy also claims that Rory has the most unstable swing in history. Laughably, the vid was posted in 2013 using Rory's poor performance there as evidence that he's correct. Spoiler alert: Rory has won several majors and vaulted to #1 in the world since then.

This is kind of a dead thread but it depends on what feel works for you or if that's a piece you even need to think about.

Poor tiger ! I hate to see one of the all time best golfers ever to play struggle hitting the fairway and making 5 ft putts. He has done so much to try and change his swibg its all inside his head. My opinion is he needs to vacation his mind from all instructors and re learn the game all on his own .

Yeah I hate to say it but I'm taking a vacation from Tiger hopes. I've tried to remain optimistic but after hearing him say, " I felt I was playing good enough to win the tournament" I realized he's so out of touch with reality. Talk about feel ain't real. Tiger hasn't been anywhere near a winning mode.. I don't get it.

I get that guys at the top have to lie to themselves, but yeah… that's pretty ridiculous. No, fatting your first two shots and then your approach shot on the second hole is not playing well.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
