Keeping her hips in place in the BS, then lots of forward.

I recognize a little dip is fine, but that is a DIP.

Wouldn't mind seeing a slo-mo swing.

I also saw her practice that ... and am mystified. But I'm no Ledbetter.

@nevets88

It looked this a weight forward drill

to me.

Yes, a lot of lateral, but it just looks so, wonky. With the funny looking putting stroke and this, well, I guess if it works... She did win the USO, so whom am I to judge?

Didn't work so well on this swing.

But it is only one swing. I worry more about what Leadworst is doing to Lydia Ko. I think he is destroying her.

I agree. Her hips are really open at impact with her normal swing, more so than almost any golfer I've seen. A little more lateral movement would probably serve her well.

At the end of the swing her weight is falling to the back foot. I guess she was mentally bailing due to the OB left.

How is Ko being destroyed? She just tied a pretty substantial record for consecutive rounds under par.

They had a video from the range with Leadworst working on keeping her right knee flexed into the backswing. He was holding a towel around her leg. This is cause her to drop the head on the start of the backswing and all hell breaks loose from there.

Her swing from her younger years had her straightening her right leg on the backswing keeping her head more level and the swing looking better.

When asked Leadworst offered some excuse about how she was tired.

Here's a video of Michelle from March 2015. The slow motion stuff starts at around 3:00.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
