Glad someone here has the info.  Front 9 must have been a birdie fest for a lot of players??

edit:  looks better now...really stacked up on the good scores, it'll be a fun one

Anyone wondering if you can use a higher bounce wedge off of a tight lie needs to watch the replay of Phil's sand wedge off the concrete cart path on 17..... To 6 feet and drains the putt. Just another par.

Tiger is looking great this year, I'm really hoping to see a major win, if he wants to beat 18, he really needs to get one soon. Rory is another favorite of mine, but I must admit, this is not the Rory we saw last year. I don't know what has changed, I don't believe it's the equipment, this guy is good enough that he should be able to make birdies with a Walter Hagan set, but something has... For this one, I'm thinking Tiger or Bubba for the win.

How far was he out?  Was it a full shot or a pitch shot?  Did he open the face?

Actually, that was a birdie, and Phil's tee shot rode the path for a good 50 yards further from where he received a free drop.

FYI... Phil didn't use bounce.  After the round they asked him how he played the shot - and he said on that shot - he never wants to use bounce.  He actually squares the face - and picks it off the path with a 'shallow' almost zeroed out angle of attack pitch.

So no... This wasn't the 'new' pitching method that he used - or is being discussed on this site.

I think David's point was that having a wedge with a lot of bounce is useful for all shots even if you don't use it. Assuming Phil's wedge has a lot of bounce it proves that there is never a need for a wedge with little bounce.

Yeah, because we can all play it like Phil. Awesome leaderboard.

Shallow AoA, picking it would "expose" or utilize the bounce the most.  Hands more forward, more leading edge.

Correct never a need for low bounce.  Bounce doesn't actually "bounce" off the ground, just helps the club glide through the turf.  Makes sure the club doesn't "stick" in the ground.  Bounce is very beneficial off tight lies, like that video of me hitting off the putting green.  Like Phil said he hit behind the ball.  Can see that with the pics below.  And you can obviously use the bounce with a square face.  The cart path shot really isn't that hard shot in terms of hitting it solid, kind of like hitting off a lie board.

Here's the video

That's cool, but I'd like to see just one more picture ... the bottom of the club after the shot. ;)

Phil's club actually hits the cart path twice. Once before contacting the ball, then again when the ball makes it deflect downward. Lots of room under the ball even with bounce. Not a super wide sole is all.

Ah, that makes sense because there was clearly two scuffs on the path after the shot. Interesting.

As Chamblee pointed out on TGC, Rory was uncharacteristically making many practice swings or part swings before the full stroke. But at least for the tee shot they showed in slowmo, his actual backswing in the completed stroke did not recapitulate his practice backswing, not even close. I can relate to that.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
