I was watching a practice session for the players with Tiger, and he had the ball resting still on a wedges face, he then swung the club up and over his head and back with the ball still stuck to the face??? super glue? just seems impossible..

Haven't you ever seen a person riding a skateboard and doing tricks?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Not sure about a golf club but I can do the same with a hockey stick and puck (or road hockey ball) pretty easily, however I imagine it is a lot harder with a golf club and ball but still possible.  Its just centripetal force.

Woods: :nike:VR_S Tour 2.0 15° Stiff

Hybrids:  910H 21° Stiff

Wedges:CC Jaws 56°.14° 60°.08°

Putter: Classic 1

Exactly.  All you have to do is make sure the face of the club is always to the "outside" of the ball.  Easy to understand, however, extremely difficult (I would imagine, haven't tried) to do.

It's a combination of gravity and centrifugal force.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
