I dont' know the full extent of the injuries and surgeries, so I can't comment on that. But I do think that Bubba's tendency to have the lead foot off the ground puts less at impact. And his foot turn out and hip behind the ankle probably crea…

+Jules C I loved playing executive courses. There was one in southern California that I played often when visiting my brother. It was in great shape with a lot of character and offered a variety of shot options on each hole.

+Frisco P I agree. I had a lot of fun playing shorter courses and learning to attack compared to when I got treated to play championship courses and had to work on my ability to grind. I think that's part of the rationale behind the quote about tour…

+Vasco D There will certainly be outliers, but let's use some stats to back our thoughts.
According to strokes gained a few years ago, 168 yards is where a professional golfer averages the same number of bogeys and birdies. For them, that's typica…

+Lani H There have been a number of studies done that do show a linear relationship between driver distance and handicap. Most of us quote the one presented by trackman.
However, I do agree with your second comment about score vs fun. There are a l…

+Ed C I'm guessing it would be just past impact instead of at impact.

+Ed C Anecdotally, I heard a similar story from another tour pro. He found himself thinking, "where would my worst shot go" instead of just looking at where he wanted to hit. By trying to avoid the bad shot consciously it made him look at too wide o…

+Ed C The clubhead speed is almost always fastest at impact for professionals. It can peak a little sooner for ams with a cast pattern, but it's usually acceleration that changes, not speed.
Attached is a typical pro speed profile.

+Nick W Hey Nick, I think the best use of launch monitors is training consistent carry distance. Both with the wedge matrix and with iron shots. I'd use a random number generator (just google a website) and then try and dial in distance control.

I don't know if they still use the same hardware as 5 years ago, but at that time, the golftec sensors were the same Polhemus sensors that AMM uses. The difference is the calibration process. Since they don't do a calibration, the linear mov…

I saw this pop-up up on my feed. I'm curious about what the GSA tribe experience is with this? How many of you are under a ratio of 30?

+Mark E Are they saying that the golfers are reaching extension at P1 (club parallel in the backswing)? Here are a couple of graphs. Steve Elkington and Grant Waite. You'll see that the golfers are STARTING to go into extension at that point, but th…

+John C In your post, you mentioned a couple of different kinds of hip tilts. Often times, golfers are talking about hip tilt in the side bend direction, not just in the forward-backward direction. For example, it's those side bend tilts that help d…

+Mike W It was, his comment on that topic was landing the sole of the club really flat to the sand/ground is why it sounds really loud when he hits bunker shots ;)
