    Working the ball

    With all that we have learned about: 1. matching the COG's, 2. d-plane, 3. ball design, 4. club design, 5. how the club acts/reacts through impact, is it realistic to actually try to "work" the ball? Or should we forsake our blades and get massive perimeter weighted heads and just hit the...

    Comparisons and thought on Motion analysis v.s. Doppler

    So, high-end country club in a low tech (golf teaching wise) major city acquired the Taylormade M.A.T-T system. A long time, highly decorated mid-am and his son (d1 collegiate who is turning pro) paid some decent cake to be analyzed. The mid-am and I have been long time confidants on the game...

So, dude rips one shot after another perfect and you said "You need to just enter tour school" or " just go play". Or...
