So what do you guys/gals think about the NE Patriots and deflated footballs?   For Whatever it is worth, I think the game with the colts would have been the same outcome even if the balls were "properly" inflated.  Having said that cheating is cheating I guess weather it be on purpose of by accident.  Certainly is in golf anyway but we'll await the decisions to see what it means in the NFL, if anything.

Didn't both teams play with the exact same footballs? One team scored 45, and the other 7 is the real reason people are whining... The video recording was complete cheating but this one is reaching...

No, they don't use the same balls.  Check out the other thread where this has been discussed in (excruciating?) detail. :beer:

I'm confused, sounds like you are too... What are you saying? how can they use different balls? 11 of 12 were under deflated... So patriots used the one ball on offense??

No, what he is saying is the pats have 12 balls and the colts have 12 balls.. You only get the other teams ball when there is a turnover.

So... what is the advantage? Patriots brought this nonsense on themselves cheating with video cameras years ago... This is stupid.

I don't understand.. You mean what is the advantage of deflating balls? It is a matter of prefrence of the QB that's all.

Just going to lock this thread. Normally it would make sense to make a separate thread for this, but there are already so many posts in the NFL thread it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. @dsc123 posted the link to the thread above.

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
