My earlier comment about Tiger shooting 60 today may have been accurate in the hypothetical, we'll find out soon, but a tad optimistic versus his performance since then.

Here are some pictures and video from the WGC today... Haotong Li Rickie Fowler (sorry for the wonky speed on the slow-mo. I forgot to edit where the slow-mo tapers off)

JT smokes a 7i 210 high trajectory and the green doesn’t hold it. Man I hate when that happens...🤭

We have to remember Tiger is 42 years old, soon to be 43. In other words, he's not going to be the player he was when he 22, 32, or even 37. Jack, Phil and almost all the greats slowed down in their 40s. It's not to say he/they can't win tourneys or majors in their 40s, but it is to say consistency is a lot more difficult. I think the last month or two sums up what you're going to get from Tiger the next few years. You're going to get flashes of brilliance and flashes of his age. It's going to be up and down. That's assuming (and hoping) he can stay healthy.

That being said, next week is another opportunity for him to get a crack at a major. Not sure it's a great course for him, but hopefully he can put up a fight.

To you or JT?😉

Man, did Tiger hack the crap out the back 9 or what? That looked like my scorecard!

JDay seems to have lost control of his Driver. He put the ball in some weird spots both yesterday and today.

After the front, and #10, I thought DJ might go out and shoot a 56!

All in all, just a strange day with not a lot of drama since JT was never really threatened.

Fifty six factorial sounds more like my scores than a professional's.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
