I've only tried it once but put it to a few feet.

That worked pretty well on The Big Break but I actually thought some of the other guys were fairly pathetic with their short game shots and made the "Saucer Pass" look a little more impressive than it should have looked. Any of us can make a video chipping in that shot (maybe even a higher percentage than he can).

On most of the courses around here it wouldn't come into play very often and those are easy as pie shots anyway. Most of the time if you tried to slide the club along the ground like that before impact you would either have a dozer blade full of grass, dirt, or mud on the club by the time it reached the ball or the grain on the (too long) grass would grab the leading edge and grind it to a halt before it even reached the ball.

Works really well on my living room rug though. If I ever hold a tournament in the living room I might even use it.

Well, Logman, I found an old video of you experimenting with fireworks. Skip to the 0:50 mark.

No wonder you went to expounding on the golf swing.

Looks like it is more of a scoop... not quite compressing down on the ball, more like just scooping through.

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

    • 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.
