Is Ryan Moore's position at address the ugliest thing on Tour?

I'm just trying to think of something that looks worse than Ryan Moore addressing the ball.

Any suggestions?

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

 

 


This is the only position that matters to me......of course, i'm a greater seattle-tacoma guy and certainly a homer

Maybe halfway into the backswing, but at address? Surely, Tommy Gainey holds that honor.

Gainey doesn't look like he's "going to the bathroom".

lmfao.  I've always thought the same thing.  Looks like he is trying to jam his  club up his ass.  Never liked watching him swing but, he is on tour and I'm not.

He's definitely really squatty over the ball. And it looks like he keeps his hands really close to his body. Not my favorite swing by any means, but he's the pro at my home course so I'm not gonna knock him.

Not sure - I've never noticed Ryan Moore's address position, possibly because his impact position is so good, but perhaps because his cloting is so awful. Not sure why anyone would care what a tour professional's address position looks like to be honest.

It's extremely important. It's a serious business.

More important than scoring and more important than sponsorship deals.

But nowhere near as important as telling the world you're a Christian and pointing to the sky when the cameras are on a la the saintly Zach J.

Give me Moore's "I'm taking a crap while I'm lining up" position over that any day of the week.

Watching Gainey's swing makes me involuntarily clench my teeth. It's like watching a semi truck collide with a train - you know what's coming, but you can't look away and you wince at impact.

Tommy two gloves wins it for sure. I was watching him this weekend, OMG his impact position!!! He's squats down so much, one time Nantz said he better watch out he doesn't hit himself in the head with the ball coming off the iron. It was so funny I spit up my coffee.

    • Day 1: 2/26/2025: So, I'm starting over on this again.  My son brought home the mother of all flu bugs from school. It raged though our house and knocked me on my butt for about 3 days.  Now, that I think I'm clear of the death plague my son gave me. I was able to rise early this morning and get some nice mirror work in. I felt stiff like a board for the first few swings, but loosened up and was able to get at least 20 minutes of first robotic slow swings and then gradually more fluid swings.  My focus was on the timing and fluidity of my priority pieces. 
    • I use a MagSafe connector on my tripod. Occasionally I use those clips.
    • Working on some swing videos. What are you guys having the best luck with as far as devices used to record the swing?  I have a tripod with a magnet that I stick my phone on but it is somewhat of a pain because I have to remove the cover on my phone and when I pull it off the magnet the tripod head changes and moves position. I was thinking something more like an ipad maybe. On a different style tripod and maybe even set it up to mirror to a tv.
