First his tone was very condescending. Second, I rarely see him use video. He said people were obsessed with hitting positions and looking perfect. Which I agree with. But if you learn to use it properly it's a tool. And also a diatribe against iPhones.

Anti video rant as in "you aren't going to get better using video" or as in "I hate it when people video themselves at my range to use with outside coaches?"

You weren't videoing him in the locker room, changing clothes, were you?

He probably teaches using terms like "Your tempo was off" and "That is the one".  That is the way to teach.

No, no locker at range, lol.

If he had a good rep and knew the true ball flight laws and all that maybe I might have taken lessons from him one day, although small chance of it, but now he eliminated himself completely. Probably thought I was a lost cause in terms of lessons because of the camera which is not far from the truth but from a business perspective, it just makes sense not to say things that might alienate potential clients.

Sorry, bro, but that was one of the weakest rants I've ever seen.

You don't get to say "rant over" after that pathetic effort! :dance:

Was he an old guy?  I can't imagine anyone born within the last 4 decades getting their panties in such a twist over something like that.  He's probably just mad he had to learn to play with an abacus and snow shoes.

Maybe he has magical eyes that can view every swing in super slow motion and he wants to leverage that super power.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
