The guy would sell his soul for a buck fifty ... maybe they will highlight his t-shirt gig outside the Masters ... how much lower can one go ... I guess we will find out soon enough on ESPN's 30 for 30

Daly is not the prototype PGA pro but he seems like a good guy who has had serious issues with substance abuse. No need to be so mean about it.

Will the 30 for 30 docs be as great without Bill Simmons?

Nope. I don't think so. But whatever. I think he was too good for that inbred circle-jerk that is ESPN

I had quite enough of John Daly with "Being John Daly".  I was eager to watch that show . .but it quickly revealed that he's kind of a whiney guy who blames everybody else for his problems and surrounds himself with an entourage of "yes-men".  There was this one scene in that show where he was sitting around a campfire (I think) strumming a guitar while his friends took turns telling him how great he is.  Yeesh.

Anyway . .I find the guy to be boring.  I mean, he's not the only guy, by a long-shot, to fail to make the best use of his talents.  He does seem like basically a good guy, though . .and I used to sort of pull for him in tournaments before I realized it was pointless to do so.  And the pants . .really hate the pants.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      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?
