This woke me up the morning!!!   I'm not sure what time it was but obviously it was a replay.  You know that point where you're half asleep but hear whats going on...  when I heard him mention Erik and TST....   caught my attention...

Sorry to have disrupted your sleep. That can be some of the best "rest" you get, that "half awake" time.

NOW....  If we can just send him that book and get them to plug LSW lol...   @iacas You guy's should send a box of the books to the Golf Channel and sign one specifically for Holly...  :)

Great science on this...  good stuff

@david_wedzik went to school with someone at Golf Channel, someone relatively high up in the instructional stuff, so Breed and Hall have the books. We just sent two down Friday morning for Frank and Brandel.

Holly… no longer works at Golf Channel: .

It didn't disrupt my sleep... That's how I listen to Mike & Mike during the week too lol...  Hopefully we hear the guys at Golf Channel mention the book soon.

Guess I've been under a rock...  I completely forgot that she was leaving and haven't been watching morning drive or school of golf lately..

I did a half-assed search and couldn't see it posted anywhere. Pretty cool! Kinda like Chamblee now lol

(sorry for the low volume, did the best I could)

I have very mixed feelings.  Very pleased at Erik getting some well deserved recognition.

But I'm a little sad because I was pulling for Erik to become Tiger's new swing coach and now that is a non-starter. :cry:

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Considering this is one of the first 2 websites to show up anytime you lookup anything golf, I bet every tour pro has browsed the threads, maybe even read about themselves

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • 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?
