It's hard to take you seriously when your English skills resemble that of a 4 year old.

Wait, so does your attitude.....are you 4 years old?

A more clearer example of an inferiority complex cannot be found.

To the OP - seriously what is the point of this thread other than talk trash which I keep hearing is an American thing? Like some others have posted here I don't hear anyone at my club talking about "this guy from Europe" or "that guy from America". It's always, "McIroy did this" or "Tiger did that." Fans of European players like the OP remind me of people with new money. Obsessed with the here and now.

It continues because, when someone wonders why 8.5_Drive has a yellow dot next to his name, someone can point them at this thread as an example.

I just needed to post, to see if I have a dot.

edit: Nope.

BTW, I actually pull for Europe in the Ryder Cup.

The Ryder cup is the only time I root for the USA over Europe. I have favorites from the USA and Europe in all other tournaments that I want to see win.

Don't bother with him, he probably posted it coming off a bad round.  8.5 is more than likely to be his I.Q than his handicap if the quality of his posts are anything to go by.

Better mention I'm a Europeon, and not a Yank having a go.

that wasn't my point. i was assuming that the OP was referring to golf, which is why i posted those statistics. in golf (at least historically, albeit not of late) the united states seems to have an edge.

wholesale generalizations of a country are certainly the point of this thread.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
