Seems to work for Langer without the anchoring. Good for him if it helps..

Im sure Twitter and lesser forums will explode with the broom handle haters though :-\, plus all the armchair judges checking for contact.

We've beat the dead horse over this but we'll see if Adam Scott can hide his anchoring like Langer.

Awesome! There will be some more whining about potential anchoring. I don't think it will be Scott's intent though.

Make him put on a pressure sensitive plate underneath the shirt, to avoid all the discussions and slow motion close up shots of his chest.

It looked obvious to me that he wasn't anchoring.

He's a thinner, more fit guy, but still…

Ugh! Had a conversation with a Champions Tour Player two months ago -- let's say the players on that tour are unhappy about Langer's anchor-unanchor routine.

Don't think Adam will get away with that on the PGA Tour.

Lol! When I saw Scott with the long putter that was my first thought! True though, very clear he’s not anchoring.

You jest, but I do think that there was certainly a hope that banning the anchored stroke would also put the long putters into the graveyard.  I imagine that the powers that be are irked that some are still successful unanchored with the broomsticks.

Yeah.  I still don't really understand why they didn't just limit the length of the club and be done with it...

One possibility:  Shorter people could still use the longest length possible as an anchored putter.

Because a short player could anchor (belly putter style) a tall player’s regular putter.

So they banned the stroke.

      Driver Ceiling Mistery

      By klineka ·

      I mean it seems like this is your issue, yeah? If you're already at or near a 1.5 smash factor depending on which launch monitor then you're going to have to increase your clubhead speed if you want to increase your ball speed. (Assuming your launch conditions/delivery are also near optimal which it sounds like they are) Are you actively doing any speed training programs like The Stack, Superspeed, etc?

      Would You Rather…?

      By klineka ·

      Anyone can cherry pick a green shape to fit their narrative.  Now do the same thing but for this green that has an extremely sloped hill short, so good chance to roll back to the water, and mounds long that kick long shots OB. It's like a 175yd tee shot too.    Or this one. Where the approach shot is from 200+ yds with a severe slope towards the water and very tightly mowed sloped runoff behind the green.

      In a normal 30x20 green, a left/rigth 15 yard miss is going to be missing the green, probably in the bunker. A short/long 15 yards miss is still going to be in the green. Scoring average is always going to be lower if you have 100% GIR. Unbeatable.  I love this tool I created. Is an spreedsheets that calculate the scoring average of a dispersion in a certain green with the flag you want.   I set both dispersions in order to score as low as they can in this Par 3 from 150 yards, in this case avoiding going into the water.   Option 1: Scoring average: 2.96  GIR: 59%   Option 2: Scoring average: 2.79   GIR: 97%

      Driver Ceiling Mistery

      By p1n9183 ·

      3 years ago I made a Driver fitting. Started with my on course speed and was almost 150 ball speed. I tested a lot of drivers and went after them with all I had reaching 160 ball speed.  In the last 3 years I improved my swing and now my on course speed is around 158 but no matter how much I force the issue I still cannot hit the ball faster than 160. Not even when I hit the ball perfectly in the middle and gave it all I have, the numbers are never more than 160.. 161. Club speed also is stuck on the same number. On the other hand for every other club in the bag I also started hitting it farther with the new swing on course but I'm able to gain 6..7 miles of ball speed if I go after them. As an example, I'm around 121 ball speed with my 6 iron but I can muscle it to 128 without much trouble and also club speed jumps 4..5 miles.  Any ideas?
