Based on the latest tweets, looks like someone on the PGA Tour video staff better with camera angles.

I can't help but think of Tin Cup in the trailer when he's got all those golf gadgets attached to his body in hopes of curing the shanks, lol.

Yuck.

Conversation on iMessage:

DW: I like certain aspects but hate how he's making it tougher on himself than it has to be. He understands he needs to expose bounce but isn't choosing the best possible way to do it.

EB: I think it’s steep and manipulated a bit. Okay if you have a lot of time to practice it, but… not a big fan. I’d like to see the club work around a bit more.

BM: In terms of building a base pattern that offers the best chance of success in the most possible situations, I don't think that's where I'd start.

DW: I would say that Harrington's approach is suspect in that the wrist angles working in that manner are a must and I can't imagine trying to play standard trajectory shots in this manner. Forced to "cut across" the ball and release pattern has to be really good and practiced. I'd much rather see more "toe swing" and clubhead around while matching the pivot. Also would allow for so many more ball position and trajectories. 

EB: No real margin of error in his motion.

DW: So... if you use this approach to expose bounce, you limit yourself in amount of options and provide less room for error IMO.

How many of you would play him for money on short game? I get what you guys are saying though. It works for him but if someone without the talent as him tried to copy it they might struggle.

And yes, your edited post is a better take than the original.

Kind of a similar move to Brendan Steele. Not a fan of his move but I'd sure love to hit it like he does ;-)

Is he tall? Steele and Keegan Bradley set up in a similar way and they are on the taller side.

Yeah, plus, everyone knows he's actually sponsored by GNIP.

Dead giveaway there.

    • It feels like Rory blew his load on the 18th at Augusta. Maybe everyone is underestimating how much that took out of him. Watching McGinley whaling in 'Roaddie' for not stopping by to talk to the press was bit of drag. The dude has given so many interviews and so much of himself over the years, he outghta be able to play with house money sometimes. Jeez, leave him the fak alone.
    • Some positives playing in league tonight.  1st) Making the backswing a more lateral shift, and feeling the left leg and torso resist the turn at the top of the swing is helping out a lot. I got to feel an uncomfortable amount of pause in the backswing to set up the downswing.  2) I need to do a bit of more arm stuff better. Still too much draw or pull draws for my liking.  3) Short game is getting sharp. Many tap-ins tonight. I am trying to make the shortest backswing possible for the shot. It really forces me to stay aggressive with the pivot.     
    • Day 43 (12 Jun 25) - Return of the net in the backyard as I set it back up in anticipation of some work with the R10 in coming days.  Used it to hit a few iron shots into the net with the 7i before wrapping up the session with the wedges.  
    • Shame to see Rory crash on the back nine. Nice to Spieth play well. Looking forward to seeing Brooks collapse…😂
    • Day 255 - 2025-06-12 Played 18 holes. Started to over-do the crap out of my thing for holes 9-15 a bit, then refreshed it and finished out really well.
