The reverse of Wood's fist pump. That is, his first pump is to pumps his fists up. I only do one pump and I pull mine down.

Have you tried to hold your fist still (relative to the ground) and jump up and down? That would be the real reverse Tiger fist pump.

That would be funny, but no, I haven't tried that. I can't even keep my head still when I swing, how could I keep my fist still while jumping? :-D

Funny you mention this.  I've been working on my fist pump with some slow-mo video.  I've found that I'm pronating my wrist as I land when trying the "hold fist still and jump" style.

I'm going back to stack and tilt fist pumps.  The forearm center pivot of my body to the earth's single plain just isn't getting it done.

Have you read the new fist pump laws?  Blows away anything Johnny Miller ever said.  When he critiques fist pumps now I cringe and hit the mute button.

If you can't pull off a trap pump, you can't play this game.

I once called a celebration on the tee. I said I was going to birdie this hole, and when my putt rolled in I was going to start walking and then running and then break into a vicious Tiger fist pump.

I did it. The fist pump is classic.

But I'm a fan of the understated fist pump with a look of pure determination. The soft fist pump, the understated confidence...

I will keep on walking to the hole and pick up the ball.   Occasionally, I will say "yeah" and lightly clench my fist and give a half way pump.  I.e, I don't celebrate much.   On the other hand, my wife will yell and jump up when she makes a long putt.  People in the neighboring holes will know.

I always do the weird Phil 'thumbs up', the way he holds his hand leads me to believe it's very unnatural for him and yet he always does it, either that or the weird 'tip of the cap' , I never wear a hat. I just love how everything Mickelson does always seems so awkward.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      You know what, I have thought about moving to Arizona a little bit, but I do love the winters here. It really is nice down here from like November thru March. And I totally would do a home setup thing, I really should, but my stupid tennis elbow is really so easily flared up. It's getting better every month with dry needling, but it's so annoying too. I do think I'm finally solving the root causes thru both the dry needle treatments and fixing this steepness/toe strike thing. The former actually does heal it and learning how to plane the club correctly reduces the trauma the elbow takes because of the increase in sweet spot hits. I really should just do a trip to Scottsdale though, I went there once many years ago and it was a beautiful place. Didn't play golf at the time so I really should go. I'd love to get away from the humidity too. And I know there are great mats out there, like at Golf Evolution for example I've been told. In my case, I will hit foam balls off a mat sometimes at home and that has some of the effects of actually hitting a ball while reducing the impact. And this is maybe a topic for another thread, but I've found just making air swings to be more beneficial to me than I originally thought -- that going really fast and not hitting a ball shows my flaws quite a bit too. I'll film myself just making fast air swings inside and trying to fix it. It's almost like speed training except if speed training included trying to make a really technically sound swing on top of it. Hopefully this comment isn't too much of a tangent, but It is the winter depression thread, so maybe tangents about what to do with oneself indoors with golf is okay. Appreciate it though, I really have thought about Arizona a couple times over the last year at least.

      Day 23: chipped in the garage with foam balls. Focused on crisp contact. Did mostly lower chips but mixed in some higher ones. Slightly more open stance, plus ball more toward middle, plus higher handle led to the best results. Need to keep those 3 things in mind.

      Day 2: Worked on distance wedge swing feels. The feel for me is to keep the upper body down more while straightening the lead leg.

      Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.

      I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.
