The swing from 2013 that Nelly Korda thinks is gross. She was 14 and made the cut at the US Open btw. Coca-Cola.

Topspin is the key to a pure roll. Gets the ball rolling quickly. Any backspin creates skids and bumps that hinder speed control. When an announcer says that a putt rolled “end over end,” this is what they mean.

Follow-up on sole/ground interaction: The sole angle is a key design lever that controls how the club sits. -Raise the sole, club falls open -Lower it (demo'd by tape in vid), club sits closed This often compounds the closed/open face when you make an adapter adjustment.

More on sole geometry: Some brands rock easily, allowing the player to manipulate open/closed at address. Some brands lock in. I’ve been in rooms where these (seemingly small) design choices are debated endlessly. 😄 Do you have a preference?

Ben Hogan’s famous advice to use your waggle to feel the shot you’re going to hit might be the longest tenured part of my routine. I think if we spread this info we could eliminate 1 million practice swings in 2026. Consider this the start of my campaign.

Putting coaches. Help me out. -RH players are comfortable with right-to-left putts. -Then we change for left-to-right. The stroke looks wishy as we manipulate to pull the ball on line. I experience this, and I see it persist to the very top of the game. What's the fix?

I love a good trigger motion. No hesitation after this smooth little move in the routine:

In S. Korea, driving ranges employ auto tees. They charge by the hour, not by # of balls. Ranges are more popular because on-course access is limited &amp; expensive. I.e. Koreans destroy drivers. Engineers alter durability standards accordingly in this market.

By my recollection, this is the swing that started the shallowing craze.

Here’s a great video showing dynamic droop. (Club School lesson 8 for those following along) Lie angle is a crucial part of iron fitting, and droop is a factor. E.g. - You might get softer iron shafts and suddenly be 2° flat. (h/t Oliver C. Morton)

Introducing: The Ball Guide. “Wait, which model spins more? The X?” I can’t keep them all straight, and neither can you. 10 brands. Sort by spin, feel, or price. Click cards for every published attribute. Link in first comment:

Here’s a ridiculous shot, but also a great example of a key concept: An upright lie goes left because it tilts the face. The more loft, the more it points left. Wedge will start more left than 4i from the same upright lie. Zero loft would go straight.

An impatient Hisatsune robbed us of one of the coolest moments in windy golf history:

Drivers are like doors.

The Gear Guide is live. Golf equipment sorted by brand, year &amp; performance. Because keeping track of the Max's, K's, and D's isn't easy for anyone. Built to assist our DM conversations as you navigate a purchase or fitting. Drivers for now. More to come. Link here 👇

Rory answered a question that we’ve been speculating about for years… What would (insert legend) be if they kept their GHIN? Rory simply… posted some scores this year. Incredible. He’s a +8.7.

Put some work into the Ball Guide this weekend. Lineups separated by cover type. Sort by spin. Sort by feel. What else would you like to see?

I had to rewind this a dozen times when I saw it live on Sunday. Does Nick Taylor look back at his own takeaway?

Guys, I’ve fallen deep into the Turf Management corner of 𝕏. This sprinkler system is incredible. 😄

The putting spectrum: 1. Tiger. Toe hang blade, pure feel &amp; release. 2. 3. Spieth 4. 5. Rory, Scottie. Some arc and closure. Mallet. 6. Sam Burns 7. 8. Spaun. LAB 9. 10. Bryson. Robotic, stiff, straight back straight thru. Pick a lane, or have 1 of each in the garage?😄

Huge fan of the Ballflight Bubble ™️

The LAB Revealer. I’ve heard two takes: 1. Most compelling piece of putter marketing since world #1 Jason Day used a red Spider during the best SG-putting season (2015-16). 2. Biggest gimmick since the HammerX. There seems to be nothing in between.

It’s 2009. You fell asleep to Golf Channel’s recap of Tiger’s win at the Buick Open. You wake up at 2am to yelling. “WHAMM!!” You could gain 50 yds. You fall back asleep, wondering what kind of tee that was. Somebody told you about Twitter, but you haven’t downloaded it yet.

It’s always purest before the plugs. (I’ve been watching turf videos again. 😄) It often feels like your course’s greens are running their best - firm, fast and true - right before they get aerated. Here’s why:

About 30% of golfers in Canada 🇨🇦 are left-handed. (4~5x the US) Why? Because there’s a huge population of washed up left-wingers. (seriously, 🥅🏒 is a big factor) Oh, and Mike Weir helped too. (🔈up “Leafs &amp; Flyers… that’s when it hit me”)

A frequent topic in my DMs: Combo sets. -How do I build one? -What will my gaps be? -What specs should I order? Here’s how the Iron Guide will assist those conversations. Actively building, wanted to get this in front of an audience before rollout.
