Alcohol seems to be a pretty effective swing killer on the local courses.

I apologize for having a spam URL in my signature and will not do it again.

2. Standing on the wrong side of the ball.

This poor fellow looks totally hopeless

But he knows how to compensate with the see-through white pants.  The pros, man...they just know how to work with what they've got.

1. Not getting weight forward through impact.

2. Not focusing your eyes intently & staring down the ball (i.e. lifting head too early)

ok - couldn't resist one more ... too FAST of a backswing - losing all sense of tempo from start to finish

      This is a fun leaderboard. I don't feel particularly vested in anyone specifically albeit we all know one man is looking like he will most probably put this championship to sleep by the time the day is over today. On a different note, I've changed my tune on BDC in the last year or so. I found myself applauding and genuinely happy for him for making the cut yesterday. Iffff a LIV guy wins this year I would rather it be him. Unlikely Scottie who seems to have supreme control of all his levers, he lives a bit more on the edge and yet has the perseverance and might I say, infectious positivity of a small time hustler. Dude just keeps hammering away. Love it.

      I think it’s more about conservation of angular momentum. If the hands didn’t slow down you wouldn’t release it and the clubhead would barely be moving faster than the hands. The hands start pulling up and back as you near impact, which makes the club rotate around its own CoM as well as rotating around the system, which makes it move faster, which as you noted is the idea.    You can watch all this happen if you find a YouTube video of a pro golfer face on and go frame by frame you can measure on your screen how far each piece moves per frame. As those distances change that’s acceleration and deceleration. You’ll see the hands slowing down and the clubhead speeding up

      I see, so it must have to do with the shaft being flexible and bending as you swing it.
