It's not surprising that his head moves back a little on the way down, but look at his hips. It looks like they rotate backwards just a tad around impact. Probably not what is happening, it's probably pausing to let his hands extend or something?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

His head goes back, his hips never really do. They do the Rory-like "pause" thing, but that's typical in players that are using their legs in that fashion.

I really like the travel of the sweetspot on the backswing. Kinda Nicklaus-esque.

They just stall a bit and it happens after impact. Can see how the belt loops are rotating all the way to impact.

      Comment:  Huh, I practiced regularly until 1/31, got busy in Feb-Mar (as I knew I would), and got reinspired today.  I have done some intermittent practice in the past two months, but let's get back on the daily practice wagon. Day 1, April 9 2026.  I worked on some pelvis turn limiting drills, doing one for several iterations before context switching to hit a few balls slowly (trying to retain that feeling), and repeating.

      I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.

      Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast.
