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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
