  1. 1. What's your opinion of the slow-mo video analysis announcers will do during coverage of PGA Tour events?

    • I learn a lot.
      18
    • I watch it for the laughs.
      14
    • It's horrible.
      16
    • Meh.

I learn things from both excellent shots, and poor ones.

Last season, the announcers reviewed a shot of Tiger hitting a driver into a water hazard to the left of the fairway. In slo-mo, it clearly showed what happens when the hands and arms take over on a shot.

Lesson for me: Under pressure you want a smooth swing, not an easy swing. When I try to hit it easy, I end up with a lazy backswing and o-o-o-over-rotation on the downswing, leading to a bad miss left.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I don't usually take anything from Kostis' analysis, but I really enjoy the Biz-Hub views. He is very imprecise in his use of terms and often makes flubs like this one. I think it's obvious he meant the amount of wrist cock (the 270* outside angle increased) with added wrist set during transition. But that he didn't express his points clearly is potentially misleading to many viewers. I wonder how much time they give him to come up with his commentary or if it's on the fly?

I find the help from most is or whatever segment a lot more useless then the slow mo's. Today he analyzed Candice Romo's swing and told her she had to stop losing flex in her trail leg.

Haha, I saw that and thought to myself that I didn't agree that her losing flex in her trail leg wasn't the fix to make her swing better.

Haha yea she may have lost too much because her leg looked almost locked, and she never did regain any but losing it wasn't her problem.

Here's the video: http://www.pgatour.com/video/2015/05/31/help-me-kostis--candice-romo.html

I was surprised that he didn't point out how far her head moved on the backswing.

I'm not even sure she got to her lead side 'eventually'. Hitting off the back foot / early extension.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
