So a lot of ~interesting swings this weekend.

Lexi would hit irons hard and the face barely turn over. Judy Rankin called it a hold off move. OR the clubhead would get stuck in the ground.

Comment?
Here are a couple of LT swings, with a hold off iron in the middle

It was pretty wild. Her clubhead was just getting plain stuck in the dirt on some iron shots. Divot was going further than the follow-thru.

Yes stuck quite often. I also saw some wedge shots where (if not stuck in ground) had the face facing they sky in the follow through.

Did you notice when the guy said Lexis average driver distance was the same as the number 1 mens player Luke Donald. Nothing againts Luke, heck he was the numero 1 and won the money titles on the PGA and Euro tour.

Is it just my eyes or do a lot of her swings look like her back torques unnaturally when she hits some of those hold off irons? It makes my back hurt just watching.

One of my buddies has won tournaments just punching his irons around the course when he wasn't feeling like he could control it hitting it up in the air. Lexi has kind of always done this move though, at least from the footage I've seen.

She looks like she stays bent forward for a little longer than is necessary, almost on her way to an "old man finish." I would wager if she didn't do that hold off move she would hit some nasty low lefts. Look how far out to the right it looks like she has to swing her arms.
