So if I worked really hard I would be able to get the same hip rotation speed as Rory McIlroy? Or be able to work the ball the way Bubba Watson does? Yeah, I doubt that. Hard work gets you to your peak. The height of your peak is determined by your talent. 

Very true... The inherent talent code separates the decent, good, better and the best players of any game. For the person with talent... Saying there is no such thing as talent, and all hard work... Gives the credit to themselves. Others, that say there is a talent piece and it's not only hard work gives the credit for what they have to God.

It's like a lot of arguments these days, black or white and nothing in between. No nuance. All talent or all hard work. Not a mix of both, some luck, good timing, some street smarts, some books smats, good support.

I think the ability to put your head down and work hard is a "talent" as well..............

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
