His name is Victor Rodriguez out in CA and is a Miyahara student. I'm pretty sure I don't want to hit 180 yard 8 irons as it would put me in traction, but trying to figure out how this swing works.

You didn't have to tell me he was a Miyahira student and I would have known. All his moves are there. Apparently he's done long drive competitions, but his goal is the PGA Tour.

Try to pause it just before impact.  It works by him having his hands way out in front of his body by impact and he has quite a bit of flex in his left arm as well, shortening the lever.

The swing is built for power. Basically, combine as many ways to generate clubhead speed as you can into a single swing, and you get something like this. Not the best way to play golf, though. I imagine his miss is probably huge and the swing might not do so well from uneven lies.

Kelvin Miyahira's swing theory is based on the idea that the best swing is the one that delivers the most energy to the ball. Great for long driving, but PGA Tour players are there because their swings allow them to get the ball in the hole in the fewest number of strokes.

Couple of videos of him and Gabriel Writer. Pretty cool

I just want to point out something right around the 2:30 mark, where Victor talks about how he made his swing changes. Even a guy that hits the ball as far as he does makes changes by making small swings first, then gradually making them bigger.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, that's pretty extreme.

Thanks for sharing.

Long drive and PGA Tour golf are two very different sports.

      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.
