DeChambeau & the Hat  

24 members have voted

  1. 1. On a scale of one (1) to ten (10), how do you feel about DeChambeau and the hat.

    • 1 - It doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, you're just a jealous 18 handicapper.
      11
    • 4 - Who am I to judge? The guy is on a roll and golf needs more personality.
      11
    • 7 - Not going to lie, it is a bit irritating, and I know all I need to know about DeChambeau from that hat.
      3
    • 10 - I'd rather watch a Caitlyn Jenner documentary on re-run than see Dechambeau's hat one more GD time.

Maybe it's just me, but I watched DeChambeau at the NCAA championships and found myself constantly annoyed by him. Now he's resurfacing. I'm sure 90% of it was the hat. Maybe his swing. I'd be curious to get peoples feedback on the like-ability of this guy...

well the family names sound of a francophone origin so the beret is appropriate and probably a personal touch.

 

it could be a US navy seal thing though :)

I like that he's brainy and contrarian, but he's not on tour yet. Judging by his quotes in a recent press conference, which I haven't seen, so disclaimer, he shouldn't get ahead of himself, despite how bright his future looks. Don't have an opinion on his personality, but rooting for him mainly because of his swing.

I don't get it, is there a swastika on the back of the hat or something?  ;-)

You've gotta admit, it's pretty much a douche-bag hat. Only other professional golfer who wore one in the modern era was Payne Stewart, by most accounts a grade A douche-bag.

To be honest, I'm going to be somewhere between a 7 and a 10...That hat screams douchery. It bothers me because I'm a shallow and hateful man.

BTW I saw a guy at the FREAKING GYM the other day wearing a hat like that.

Pro golfers don't wear them because you can't put a big logo on the front to pay the bills.(pun intended)

Personally, I am not big on style affectations like the 'old school' hat, Rickie's 'hip' trucker hat, Patrick Reed's Tiger imitation, or Payne Stewart's plus knickerbockers.

What they wear doesn't distracts me from the quality of their golf or make me dislike them, though.

 

@colin007 re. the hat at the gym. Give a guy a break, I'm very self-conscious about my bald spot. Kudos for 'owning' your shallow hatefulness. :-P

He's only a physics major. They teach physics in high school! :-)

It doesn't bother me. The guys who don't wear hats because they still have all their hair bother me! :-D

OK, I got off topic. Hat doesn't bother me, just like Fowler's shoes don't.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      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?
