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

What do you think @Veteran Golf Fan? Seems like Kostis has gotten worse.

This looks like a decent camera angle. More discerning eyes, please correct me if incorrect, but it doesn't look like he's coming that much from the inside, the ball is starting at his aimpoint/target, definitely not right, why would TW need to rotate his face even more that would be a pull?

That looks dead inline, no? I mean if you were to ask me to guess what radar says for path, I'd say it's 0 ish, around there.

We could know more if we knew where the ball went. If he pull-drew it, probably. If it faded, obviously more left than 0.

I had to reply.

The replies to that tweet and the thread make me sad for golf.

Is this a dig on radar, 3D, pressure plates? All, one, some? Trackman can't be happy as CBS is using its equipment, no?

It doesn't have the crazy flexion that Rahm does, but it is bowed, no?

Here he says Woods makes a nice full shoulder turn:

Here he says shoulder turn not complete:

I'm confused. Maybe he's a little quick in transition w/driver?

What's there to be confused about? It's Kostis. What he thinks of the swing will always be dictated by the quality of the shot. Good shot = good swing, bad shot = bad swing.

First swing doesn't look like a stock swing. High hands, sawed-off finish (though the video cuts off before Tiger gets all the way around so who knows).

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      Struggling With Volatility

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
