He's a great player, and I can see why he's wanting a trade, he's not going to win anything at Lakers, so he wants a championship somewhere else, he's just going about it the wrong way.

He made his own bed with the Lakers. His contract is prohibitive to bringing in other guys. His selfeshness has run off guys and prevents others from wanting to play there. He forced the team to trade Shaq and to get rid of Karl Malone and anyone else that sided with Shaq or didn't worship him. He ran of Phil Jackson for a year. Even after they have done everythig he has asked, he still takes shots at them publicly. The guy is an incredible talent, but he will never win until he realizes that he is much more the problem than the solution. This is a franchise that won 8 championships in the last 27 years. They were also in the finals 13 times in that stretch. LA was always a team that could draw free agents in. Guys would take less to go there for the shot at winning. When they traded Shaq they were only a few months removed from a trip to the finals. Shaq went to Miami and immediately made them a contender. They went to the East Finals his first year and won it in his second. The Lakers missed the playoffs and have lost in the first round the last two years. If Shaq stays in LA they could have easily won at leat one more.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
