Luke Donald has a solid iron game. Ball striking (or GIR) is not the right stat to look at. Look at approach shots from under 200 yards or at broadies shots gained paper. Donald gains strokes on the field with his irons and short game and then is a top 5 putter on tour. The game is pretty balanced. The long game (driving and approach shots) is slightly more valuable than the short game and putting but no one area is good enough (top 10 on tour) that you can dominate it and really suck (bottom 1/4)  at the any of the others.

The highlight of my Evlovr lessons was when my video was put up next to Robert's and it shows my hands/arms in my downswing being very similar to Robert's at the same time!

I copied a screen shot and saved it in my my swing thread!  I was very proud of that moment lol....

Robert Rock has the most steady head I have ever seen. It seems to never move until after the ball is gone.

Well, that is, of course, so we can admire his perfect hair. ;-)

After just seeing this I'm wondering if it's just me, but does he not get very much hip turn in his backswing with his driver?

Just watch his right hip pocket, it's moving all the way to 4. If you have Analyzr, upload it in there and go frame by frame.

He's turning his hips at least 45.

The "daylight" between the knees from dtl is a good checkpoint.

Can also see how much he's turned his torso in the caddy view, so a "full" hip turn helped him do that.

You are right.  After seeing the pictures he definitely gets enough hip turn.  I'm probably just comparing him to my swing and after seeing this I think I get too much hip turn.  His swing is visually perfect though.....

I don't know. You could look it up of course.

      Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.
