I'm interested in Michelle Wie's swing in 2017. So far she's returning back to her peak level. I like her shortened upswing and controlled downswing. To my surprise, this "stinger-like" swing doesn't cost much distance at all. Check this out, comments are welcome!

It may work for her, but she is extremely flexible. I doubt it would work for others that are not flexible.

I don't like it, and I don't agree it's not costing her distance. She's 19th at barely 260 yards right now: http://www.lpga.com/statistics/driving/average-driving-distance .

I think it's contrived.

I do have to say the swing looks very rigid, but you know what it works. I'd take a rigid swing like Wie's if I got her results.

      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.
