Clear? Those hips are almost parallel to target at A7. I do not think that word means what you think it means. I'll take any excuse to post this:

Hate? Not at all. And I did increase my knowledge by viewing clear examples of PK giving poor swing analysis. Nobody here including myself has stated PK is always wrong. But that’s hardly a reason to

I too love that one. Just when you think it can’t get worse it does so spectacularly.

Gay has literally the least active hip rotation on tour.....but I have to give Kostis credit for saying the impossible while maintaining and even tone in his voice. A true professional.

Maybe clear = EE? I dunno. I'm just a couch surfer. :-D

This is a little off-topic, but I saw a tweet somewhere where Gay changed up his swing and revealed a radar screen capture of 280ish carry, which is a lot because he's a short-ish hitter. Lemme try and find it. It definitely would have to involve more rotation, the change.

Update: Can't find it. Maybe it was someone else.

You might enjoy that video.

There's a video out there, an older one that I thought was Luke Donald but it may be someone else, where Peter Kostis shows how the club shaft and the torso make a perpendicular "T" at the end of the follow-through and THAT is the sign of a great player (or something like that). I remember getting a nice chuckle out of that one too. Something about random lines being drawn and all that.

You quoted a post with a picture from YouTube showing comments that are about two years old.

So… no. People have independently arrived at the idea - with plenty of evidence - that Peter Kostis isn't all he's cracked up to be by some people. That often he kinda stinks.

And @virtuoso posted his topic completely unbeknownst to me. I've had the Kostis video I posted in the other Kostis topic for a few months now, and your love of Kostis prompted me to make it into a video for the Tiger Swing "Dip" discussion.

I have no idea who those YouTubers are. The other video, the Vimeo one, is 3 years old.

It was all me. I saw the Kostis debate going on in the TigerDipGate thread and it reminded me of that video. Thought it would be fun to post for entertainment purposes.

If you think I am going to jump on the anti Kostis bandwagon, you will be waiting for a very long time.

It's totally feasible that any instructor having to give an analysis immediately after a shot could end up having a bad "hit" rate on being right as well. Maybe Kostis is at 40% while others under the same time pressure might be 33%?

I'm sure he's replaced many other commentators who've said the wrong things as well.

In any case, it's all filler material.

Anyone remember Bob Rosberg doing the on course commentating for years?  God rest his soul, but he was wrong about 98% of the time when he said "He's got no shot" when seeing the lie and with trees in front.  After the pro hit the green with a good shot, he went silent.  What he meant to say was that he would not have a shot.

Do we have to wait...or can we just do anything else?
