Hello for for for hey thanks for watching guys I’m going to let the room fill up or we’ll see if anybody shows up I haven’t done a live I think since February but there’s been some really interesting things going on so I’m going to be doing that that I’m

Just G to get my phone and let this start I don’t know when I do this if put this over here I don’t know if uh I don’t I have to adjust this here that I don’t need this is what I need to adjust make sure people can hear me and

See me and stuff that’ll be good cool yeah that’ll work all right what I don’t get though is I don’t think I can hear anything which is annoying I can hear it but I don’t I don’t think you guys can hear it let me see if I can add the

Audio okay and we’re going to go to black ho bet it’s this one I can’t hear it that’s fine it doesn’t matter there is a way to do it but uh hell if I remember now I don’t let me see if anybody’s coming in the room I’ve been

Doing some really cool things recently and I wanted to do a live to show this cool new software that I’m using and uh some other stuff let me go to my I put up a new uh reel about minmi which is kind of a a a swing that doesn’t it’s

Like so good but there’s some things that don’t really make sense about it to me live cool we are live great just say hi to the chat hi guys hey if you have any uh if you have any questions or anything like that put them in in the comments the questions will

Make it like way way go way easier and and have this make a lot more sense for me and everything so what I want to do today is we’re going to talk about my plans for 2024 what I want to do with the Golf Channel then I want to um go

Over some uh some of the comments that I’ve gotten about about recent videos and some like controversial stuff I want to talk about uh Tiger Woods and everything and uh what your guys predictions are for what Tiger’s going to do this year there’s going to be something coming up really interesting

In a few weeks during I think the Super Bowl so the Super Bowl is going to be going on and then there’s going to be Liv golf going on at the same time so the Super Bowl I think will be in Arizona and then three hours away or

Something in Las Vegas there’s going to be the live golf tournament which will be John ROM’s first tournament so I want to hear I want to hear what you guys have to to say about that and then I’m going to go through like uh talk questions and everything the question

That I’m going to answer here in this live stream too is that everybody if they ever have a question for me like when I see people at the golf schools or if they just like see somebody that watches the channel they’re always ask me like oh you’ve

Been to so many coaches like how do you even take the club back or like how do you decide when you hear all these different things what method works best for you so I’m going to talk about that too okay let’s uh let’s go to some of your guys

St uh questions here I’m going to put this in questions question mark okay so um Don is asking how to take the driver to the top for an 80-year-old golfer to get the club head to tilt over Okay so uh I talked to Bobby Bobby

Lopez about this who I think is one of the best instructors when it comes to like teaching older people to still play really well like Bobby I don’t know how old Bobby is he’s got to be near 80 now but he still plays really well and I

Think that um when you do get older I think the the speed in your hands and wrists and everything like if you watch like uh if you watch like uh old ladies play bridge or or um you watch somebody who’s like a real expert what they’re doing it’s like the hands are moving

Real fast and that speed in like your hands and wrists if you watch the guys who are really good into like uh older age as far as like uh if you go to like the villages and you watch some of the guys who play golf there every day and

Who are still playing at a high level and winning Club championships and like winning super senior events and uh breaking their age all the time there’s there’s Gary player who like is insane and he keeps himself in in amazing physical fitness but then the the normal guys who play

Golf like that and play really well are uh really utilizing the wrists and hands really well they don’t move the body too much they they stay pretty stable and there’s a little bit of a little bit of Shifting but it’s really if you want to uh create speed as you get older you

Really have to be an expert at creating an eliminating angles so that’s one of the reasons that John Daly said that he’s I mean he’s always been fast but he’s kept his speed up a lot because he creates a lot of angle um if you’re if you’re somebody who’s always like said

Kept the angles pretty consistent but you uh move the body a lot turn the shoulders and all this stuff that that would be very difficult to keep going for like a long long time without but you could but it would just now you have to do you have to basically revolve your

Whole life around golf because you have to be stretching and doing Fitness and doing all this other stuff where you could create a lot of speed just in the hands and wrists so uh 80-year-old golfer to get the the head to tilt over so then in this video that we were

Talking about that that we did that Milo is doing here so um let me go to Milo swing here one of these ones yeah so the what the head head to tilt over is just let this play through okay so what he’s talking about there is or what Milo’s uh talking about

And what Don is talking about in the questions is if if you swing to the top and you just try to use your body only and just have like a body based swing some coaches will say like oh you know there’s no hands involved no

Hands needed at all it’s just I kind of set it and I just rotate well there’s nobody’s just rotating I think Homer Kelly from that wrote the golfing machine was really on to something when he said it’s educated hands and your hands can be so educated that you might

Feel like you’re doing nothing but they uh if you look at the torqux and forces that are on the grip that the golfer puts on the grip they’re doing a lot with the hands from the top to all the way through the hands are doing a lot

And uh so if the body for example if I look up let’s look at this because this is a big question about this so let’s look up Tiger Woods 2000 and if I go to this my favorite video is let’s go to the British Open because Tiger Woods

When he went through the uh through the tiger slam not the open film we need the the really old one this one might be it there’s yeah this is it this is a really old video on YouTube but this is the best one this is just okay so when they interviewed tiger

And they said okay of of the tiger slam year and this looks terrible I’m going to get the other video they said of the tiger slam year what was the best shot that you hit and he he said that the shot that he hit at St Andrews

Was a three-wood coming in on the on the final day there’s a spike here maybe this is it let’s see okay let’s see where’s this shot because I know that he he hits this three-wood at some point and this is like the best shot that he hit of his

Entire year but this is a good shot here to to see it I think if it’s full swing it is okay because so so people will see because we can see Tiger’s hands there let me I’m way too big CU people show this and be like hey there’s there’s like this is not

Happening in Tiger Wood swing this is not happening in you know uh other people’s swings where like you don’t really see like you know all this stuff but the so let’s go through through Tiger’s swing here he’s playing a bit of a you know low shot so here so Tiger’s

Going down and see you don’t what happens is Tiger is you know using his body and the face in a golf club like I’ve been saying is off center right so you cannot just swing from the top you have to do something in order to counter counteract this opening that’s going to

Be happening okay so even in Tiger if you look at just uh face uh sorry down the line it’ll just look like he goes to the top and he brings it back down like the wrists look like they’re doing almost nothing but what it is and I got

This from John Sinclair who’s like the number one golf teacher expert in what the wrists are doing and what it is is you have to be moving towards flexion okay so some people go to the top like Shane Lowry who go to the top another British Open and champagne who’ll go to

The top and I don’t know if I’m backwards but this is my left wrist he’ll go to the top and he’ll go from being very extensive to in transition now he’s a little less extended okay John ROM is really flexed and in transition he’ll go a little bit

More flexed so let’s watch and see what Tiger Woods does here so he’s making his transition you don’t see the shaft pitch and yaw this way lay down there’s no big lay down move but watch his right wrist right there I don’t know if you can see that

It’s slightly adding flexion and you could only see it from this angle and it’s slightly suating it’s not suating club where it’s laying down but relative to his body see his body’s going this way so it’s having to make a bit of this turn but you don’t really see it this is

Like probably the best way to do it if you can if you can actually do it is to do it so subtle that the B the forces are totally balanced so the opening force and this force that you’re the educated hands are putting into the grip work together and then it’s just like

It’s just like so fun commercials again yeah we’re going to talk about that so uh Advanced Dynamic Golf Center one of the main things we’re going to talk about love that you’re always trying to learn the golf swing just curious on how you decide what does and

Does not apply to the swing so I’ll answer that next then we’ll talk about pulling it that Dave said and stuff okay just gotta let this ad play I gotta find on here somewhere this famous here’s Tom Watson Tom Watson’s a good example so we would have to

Watch same thing it’s like you’re not seeing this big laydown but if there was a sensor in in the grip he between going like this with his shoulders and then what he’s doing with the grip he’s putting a little twist on it and I’ve seen they actually have uh some study

That they did in 2006 in Korea I think where uh they measured really good golfers and the the the torqus and forces they put on the grip so it was physically measured not just through math or whatever these are all bad angles there is a famous three-wood shot that I’m trying to

Find on here I thought he hits the par five and two David Deval let’s see if tiger gets this no okay these are the these are good angles because you can see tiger does it more with the right hand I believe and you know he says it’s like

It’s the hand so watch watch if you can barely barely see that left wrist there but watch if I zoom in here you barely see that right wrist but this is a really great angle if we could find that old Tiger Woods uh video where he knocks out the

Lens of the camera during the Nike commercial but watch how you can see the shadow is increasing see that right wrist even though the the club is not pitching around and moving strangely that that right wrist is going from this to as he’s making his downswing to a

Little more so that that’s and then the club is not coming straight down it’s going around the ark that way so it’s actually he’s doing the of super similar thing to you know the internet Swing or or whatever else because like these are things that have to have to happen there’s this

Uh there’s a scientist called Dr Robert grober that I’ve been chasing trying interview for a long time but he’s uh he’s like a he’s like an actual scientist not like a go well I mean golf scientists are scientist but this guy is like is like legit like he makes um like

Super high-tech stuff he’s like a does like top secret stuff but he’s also an obsessed golfer and he was talking about how if this the shoulders are a wheel that go this way then the club needs to be a wheel that then goes this way in opposite an opposition to it sometimes

It’ll be like a Matthew wolf where it’ll be so much that you’ll really see it and sometimes it’ll be like Tiger Woods where it’ll be small and really contained but those two forces working together really what balances it all right let’s let’s move on all right I

Want to hear what your guys predictions are for somebody says is this the Sergio move it’s everybody’s move it’s like yeah Sergio you see it but even in like uh even in like Jim furick we can look up Jim furick swing not a that’s I mean here’s Matthew wolf

But oh this is all these people trying to do Matthew wol S which is not helpful all right no it’s um all right so even furick you can see like it looks the first thing to notice is I mean just go to to there so this is really where

The money’s made and the debate’s kind of end it’s from when the club is last parallel through the ball to the club is parallel again everybody starts looking really similar like Jim furick I mean it’s it’s a little behind him it’s out of his pocket but it’s like really pretty

Basic and um but if you watch this Loop that happened so ‘s Loop is going this way it’s looping behind him a little bit see that was looping behind him a little bit the circle’s going that way we go to this one and I don’t even know I haven’t looked at Charles

Barkley’s swing in a long time but let’s look at Charles Barkley swing and let’s see which way his Loop is going going could be the right way I don’t know I haven’t even looked at it so after all the stutters and everything okay so let’s just look at

That that surge move that that Charles is doing here and he’s gotten a lot better but watch see if we take the center of mass now the circle is going this way I’m not really talking about like under the bottom or over the top it’s just like this circle is moving

That way so that’s like you know so then yeah you would have to put the brakes on that because you’re like way out of position and he had some pump drills and other things but then when when he finally has done all that stuff he’s

Trying to get it going the right way but he’s just so out of position and he’s having a mental problem so I’m just trying to think like if somebody was trying to disprove this or whatever it would maybe look at Roco swing down the line let’s see thing is Rocco will set up

Shut so he’s aiming almost all the tour is aiming square or a little left Rocco’s aiming right so he’s going to start his swing yes even this and Rocco is going like this a little bit can you see that I can I don’t know if there’s confirmation bi us

Or what but I can see him doing this it’s slight but he that’s how he’s staying inside the ball I think that’s really good if you’re watching this click the Subscribe button and hit also hit like because that’ll really help okay what I wanted to talk about now

Is yeah put put your comments in I see that well let’s just go through this somebody said some sometimes when I watch Tiger’s old eight old eight iron swings it appears he has straightened out his right arm completely at impact is that true well Tiger Woods iron swing

2000 oh I hate these videos when they slow it down for you it’s annoying yeah this too annoying from the 2000 US Open let’s see here’s a good one all right this is a bit different of a topic but see he’s got the hands really high

This is a driving iron so it’s not an an iron but um you see he’s adding flexion his way and his butt’s going a little bit more back and that’s the kind of the classic thing and impacted yeah tiger would be a little bit more straight with the with

The right arm and and actually the the hips in 2000 are a little bit more Square than what’s in Vogue now and it’s actually less more Square than what he does now this is Tiger between 2 2019 but then with driver when he’s making more speed is quite open yeah so he yeah

Back in 2000 he did have more of a straight right arm and he’s actually using a it actually looks like he has a more rotational swing in 2019 that he does in 2000 but it’s probably something he’s been working on for you know a long time but yeah here’s a a 2,000 swing

This looks like Riviera yeah pretty straight you’re right it’s yeah it’s pretty straight there but the main thing is like that the main one of the main things that I’m always talking about for me and then like when I’m helping people is most people are using this like punch Force

Like if you want to hit something hard like you’re a uh whatever you want to hit something hard 90% of men or people or whatever they want to punch it with like tricep extension this feels hard and when you create angle and you go to hit something hard and you punch at it

You really the very difficult switch to flip is to go from creating speed with punch Force to creating speed like up through your body and then adding this uh sh shoulder girdle Peck and all this Force kind of comes at at the right time I’ve seen some of the Uh there’s Big

Debates about you know whether you should go with the arms you know feeling first or if you should drive with the body but I have seen the um I have seen the muscle contraction things like ECG e uh EG or whatever it is it’s like they

Have actual markers on it and all this is lit up a lot the tricep does something but that’s the tricep really works the most kind of in in transition to keep it from collapsing it’s not really like this big punch you know at the bottom if you look so so that club

Because Tiger’s creating so much force with his PEC and with his rotation that club is essentially being pulled out it’s not like he’s chucking it out I think anyway hey thanks uh Stephen Stephen just made a comment there’s a little join button if you go to the uh if you

Go to my profile you’ll see you can become a a b better golf member there Stephen’s Steven’s a member the thing you can’t really tell is forces create the risk conditions and it always takes place earlier in the swing than it looks yeah that’s true so like when you’re when you’re doing you

See the the wrist going like this in transition that’s going to happen because you’re heaving the club back pretty good and then you’re turning into it and then just like if you were a you were to go like this and then throw a ball you would see the risk go like that

Because you’re changing the direction and then now that force is going that way not necessarily that you’re going here and then you’re pulling the ball back and then trying to kick it through like that no it’s like it’s like you’re looking at the end of the whip all right

So I’m gonna answer this other question because this is one of the the main things that I wanted to do here that advanced Dynamic Golf Center put up um he says love that you are always trying to learn the golf swing just curious on how you decide and what does

And doesn’t apply to your golf swing somebody people ask me this a lot and they’ll say like how do you CU on the channel I don’t know if you’re not subscribed to the channel hit the subscribe button really could could use it but a lot of people have asked me

Because on the channel I’ve taken lessons from I don’t know I would have to count it up but maybe probably over 50 between 50 and 100 different Pros or something so it’s like a lot of lessons and when I was first doing the channel it it’s true it was very difficult for

Me to be able to get all these tips and then still be able to pull the club back like it started sounding a lot like a crowded restaurant and there’s like a lot of voices and it sounded a little bit like uh if you go to like the duck pond and

Like the geese are there and it’s like you know like these voices in my head so it was very difficult not only from the pros but also like all the like I I read every single comment that gets put up on the channel I try to reply to all of

Them and uh a lot of well well-meaning people would put their comments like I made this video this is the biggest mistake ever I made I played really bad once when I was doing a ton of Vlogs I made a uh a video and I said I don’t

Know what I’m doing I’m playing terrible what do you guys see and it just lit up comments like I got I don’t know I got 10,000 views on that video I remember that was a big deal and like comments were like going like crazy of all these people with different ideas and that

Like I played bad for like two and a half months after that because like I really was taking this is early on in the channel I was really taking everything thing to heart and I was like I was like you know this guy you know uh

Whoever golf dog 457 you know he making a good point maybe I should um change my grip or this you know maybe I should uh try to swing over the top or maybe I should fix my takeaway or whatever it was I would try all these things and

Then when I would go see a coach this is early on when I would go see a coach and something would work I’d be like boom I’m hitting the ball good I’m all in and I jump in with both feet to like try to be like this is my swing

Now I am 100% in and if and then if it wouldn’t if it would start not working I would just say okay the only reason this isn’t working is I’m not bought into it enough I have to go deeper into this and this is me 100% that doesn’t work either you know

It’s it’s not if something’s going to work it’s going to work early it’s not really going to take like a ton of time to figure figure it out you’re going to see signs that this is the right thing to do uh when you’re working and then uh

Anyway so then after doing the channel for a while I started to be more like I always say this like a duck where there’s you get all these tips and I’ve heard so many different things that like when I hear these tips like I can tell like what different camp this might come

From it might come from more of a whatever it might come from like a gy flick style thing or it might come from like a David lead better thing or it might come from like a George genas kind of thing like I can kind of tell or

Stack in tilts whatever I can kind of tell like what camp that’s coming from and then like a duck you like just kind of let it go over you but then every once in a while you like you hear something that’s good and you’re like

Okay I’m going to try that and I think what Ben Hogan said is probably the smartest thing when it comes to golf instruction where you’ll find things and there’ll be things that work in your mind that don’t work on the Range then there’ll be things that work on the

Range that don’t work when you’re playing golf then there’ll be things that work when you’re playing golf but don’t work in competition Golf and then there’ll be things that work in competition golf but don’t work he said on the back nine on Sunday you know I would say that work in competition golf

But don’t work you know under a lot of pressure in competition golf you know for money or for a Club Championship or to win pro money or whatever I’m trying to do so you you when so a a golf pro like one of the top guys in California

Asked me the other day said hey he’s got this student and she’s like a Serial golf lesson taker she goes and sees all these different people and she’s getting confused like how how do you do it and really what I what I told him to tell

Her because she’s like a top player I said I said you have to like you are in the end result you’re responsible for what you decide and try to do like you can’t blame it on any coach and you also can’t give them like all the credit like

If you start playing well it’s not because of Any coach or whatever and if you start playing really badly it’s not because of Any coach more it it’s about your own your own personal discernment it has to be really good they might be telling you oh the reason you’re not

Playing well is because like you still are struggling and fighting me on this issue I’ve been telling you you have to do this thing well and I said I’ve said this to Pros before I’m like you’ve been telling me to do this for a long time

I’m not doing it so you either have to think of a different way to get me to do this because I’m beating my head against while trying to do this move or whatever they want me to do or it’s actually not even that important that I do this so I

Said you have to really be your own best Advocate and when you go and take these lessons and do things you have to um know what you want to look for and like kind of like Tiger’s doing here this is the main thing I’ve discovered in doing the channel is how

Really important anything you’re doing has to relate to this waste to waste stuff so tiger if if somebody’s telling you to do something like that’s cool like I’ll do that but how is that going to affect some people say how is that going to affect impact impact is so brief but how

But you can say like okay how is that going to affect what Dr Quan is calling the functional swing plane so I see here tiger the his functional swing plane or what we’re talking about is see he’s more out towards the ball when this would be P6 at here and then he goes

Attacks and hits the hits the ball and because it comes up higher on the other side it’s a little bit more in so that’s one thing the the swing plane is more left than people think and people don’t want to be over the top so they get nervous

About doing that but um it that that is one thing to know all right move my image to the bottom left yes I can is this I’m small enough now I can move my image to the bottom left why I’ll just move my I’ll just make it

Small oh maybe because it has that my little water mark I bet you that’s why thank you for that okay um all right I believe the leg moving lateral has an effect on how the wrist moves towards impact yeah definitely the the legs moving to like sideways and lateral is

Like basically a epidemic engulf all right let’s let’s talk I want to hear what your guys opinions are I’m going to do this for like 20 more minutes I’ll be back in a second but right in the comments right now I want to hear what your guys opinion are on the golf ball

Roll back what you think it is like and then potentially if it’s a good thing or bad thing and then also um whether or not you think like how you think it’s going to affect not only the pro game but then also like the regular game I’ll be right back hit the

Subscribe button hit the like button that’ll really help the channel I’ll be right back because I’m going to um yeah only have nine likes so if everybody if you’re watching this smash the like button would really really help and uh we’re going to talk about the role back

Because I have an opinion that’s different from I would say like 90% of my viewers so I don’t want like alienate people but it is my opinion I’ve been thinking about this for a long time so I’ll be right back ask questions okay guys thanks for watching

I got to get this on all right thanks for watching uh I think the comments went for that I see are coming through way slower than than actually so right in there I want to hear what you think about the golf ball debate so I wish I could right now it’s

Very difficult for me to get the um the sound to go but I think when it comes to the golf ball I I I want to hear what you guys have to think about I think it’s a good thing that they are like I don’t think that

Like I don’t think the golf ball can forever get longer and longer and even if it isn’t the golf ball like because there’s a big debate about what is making the distance go go longer and I guess there’s the two sides of that are is it good that the golfers

Are hitting it further and then the other the other side of the same question is why are they hitting it so much further which they are and some people even say oh you know since since a certain amount of time they are really not hitting it uh

Hitting it any further like since 20 th they’ll like pick a certain time and I think the the main reason way that you can see people are trying to kind of like structure a little story about this to fit the way that they want it to be

Is they are going they kind they really cherry-pick data both sides of this issue so the people who think it’s stupid that let me see if I can find let me try to find something how am I going to do this yeah okay uh PGA Tour made a statement on the golf roll

Back and this I thought was a really classic example of that we remain opposed to any change that may potentially lessen the ball where was there okay so this is the PJ tour statement I’m gonna read this real quickly throughout the process we have noticed we have provided feedback to the

USGA and the RNA and are pleased to see a number of recommendations let’s see if this will work I go like this yeah it well reflected in the most recent announcement however we believe the proposed increase in test Club head speed to 125 miles an hour is disproportional to the rate of increase

We see when analyzing PGA Tour radar data okay um in conjunction with the PAC player directors and policy boards we will continue to share a feedback okay this decision follows a feedback after so what I had seen was here we go the current stand standard of 120 M hour swing speed produces ball

Speed of 176 M an hour and will be adjusted to 125 miles so the like basically the the robot the speed they use of the robot is going to be um is going to be you know increased so this is not the statement that I saw

What I wanted the statement that I saw was that was trying to to say that the wall shouldn’t be rolled back is they said well since 20 000 it’s it’s gone up but since 2015 it has not gone up but then it did go up a little bit in 2019 or something

Like that so it’s like in this one data set that they were saying that was the reason that the the golf ball should not be reduced they were using like they were using um Club head speed from one year ball speed from another year distance from a third year so it was

Like to make this kind of idea that hey it’s not the ball well I think that the ball I think that the ball should be rolled back because uh I think Jack Nicholas and and I’ve thought this for a long time because I talked to Patrick Harrington about this when I got a

Chance to play with him and he’s for it and I’ve heard a lot of stuff that Jack Nicholas has said just if like you had to if the ball went if it was the year 2000 okay and the ball was going whatever like with 115 mph Club head speed the ball was going

290 yards total right nobody would say like this is ridiculous the ball needs to go much further the ball needs to go we it like they nobody would be up in arm saying like hey the ball is is going way too short we need to increase the

Ball so it’s like now that the ball is going further it’s really been since prov1 that it that it did get a lot further now that the ball is going a lot further it’s um people are saying that it has to be the way it is now it’s like

That’s just like uh kind of arbitrary if you were looking at all and the other thing is too that golf people are saying that like uh it shouldn’t be rolled back because it it would hurt regular golfers too much like it would reducing the ball distance would hurt regular golfers too

Much it would hurt the game well if you look back at year 2000 or 2002 or whenever uh this is and that and that’s much shorter than what they want to do but if you look back to whatever year they want to bring the ball to I think I

Think ideally the usgaa in their minds even though they won’t say this I think they want to bring it back to about 2003 that’s what they would like to see happen but I don’t I don’t think they’ll go that extreme but if you look back at

2003 golf was way more popular then like it’s had a surge just in the last uh a couple years that is starting to die off again but since Co it’s it’s had a a surge but um if you look back it’s not like golf was less popular in 2003 golf

Was in 2003 to go to Recreation Park which is like just mun course across the street for me you had to sleep in your car to play golf there it was insane like uh go golf courses were being built at like a a incredible pace and the

Reason for for that was Tiger Woods andc and the champions tour was also like in like crazy full swing like that was like coming out of the 90s when like there was actually a time when Champions Tour and the regular tour were about the same

Golf is like a top- Down Sport so in order for golf to really Thrive it has to be really really enjoyable on TV and uh that’s probably one of the times when it was most enjoyable uh was when tiger was you know setting all these records doing all this

Stuff one of the reasons that tvwise like if you think of like the shark shootout and one of the reasons that the ball we cannot just let the distances or they cannot let the the USGA cannot let the distances go on forever is because if uh they’ve already made the change

Where uh used to be almost every course they played at was a par 72 now like every course they go to play might play as a part 72 for the members but they changed it to a par 70 or a par 71 for the uh tour events so and the reason is

If you try to if you watch like the shark shootout on the final day it is like not really watchable because and I guess it’s not the shark shoot at anymore because they they they bailed on Greg Norman it’s not really watchable because if you see somebody oh

Uh so and so is tied I thought he was totally out of the tournament he’s tied yeah he’s only tied because he’s played uh 13 holes and he’s four under or seven under for those 13 holes and he’s caught up to the front guy to watch a tournament as people are coming through

A par has to be kept uh pretty good that’s one of the reasons that the majors are so much more watchable than a regular Tour event because the majors are so much more difficult regular tour events now are being won at like 30 underp pars I if you look just at this

Century that was in Hawaii not a lot of people watch that and one of the reasons is you tune in and you and it you never really you don’t really get a sense for the hunt like at all and uh and as that deteriorates the the Vie then people

Lose interest in golf it the product on TV has been worse and actually uh they’ve seen like golf is like at the top level you know maybe because of the live drama and the PGA Tour drama like less people are watching golf on TV but more people are watching Golf and

Consuming golf content overall but at the top end it’s like people my age and older that would care about the PGA Tour and uh my age and younger they’re they’re going to want to play golf and do golf stuff and consume golf content but they’re not they’re really only

Major interested in like the majors let’s see what you guys have to think about the the the ball rollback putting a a roll back should be for pro so so then so then it gets into a bifurcation debate about elite players like say the US amateur NCAA and things like that

Should have a I mean golf is a game really the only game I can think of that doesn’t have a standard ball baseball they have you know a ball they use you know college uses a certain baseball the NCA baseball has got a stamp on it uh

The NBA they use a basketball that is the NBA basketball bball the Spalding or whatever it is basketball same thing in uh NFL they use like a certain ball it’s not like there was a hill you know with defl ging and all that stuff you can’t you can’t have something specific so

That’s what makes it difficult but they got all the opinions you see 99 well probably 90% of the opinions you see on social media about the golf roll back that are not coming from the usj or what whatever are people who are very very reliant on the golf industry and selling

Golf balls is like I don’t know of all golf sales somebody probably knows this of all golf sales a huge percentage of it is reloading people on golf balls so when they really don’t want to make this change and they have the surrogates that go out and talk and and trash it

And then people adopt adopt these things no one’s going to notice and I think it’ll help the game at the top end which will make it more interesting for people okay uh it’s most people are like you guys though they think it’s ridiculous leave it alone once golfers

Stop playing golf because they can’t hit the ball as far the drop of Revenue in the game is only was it would change I’m not sure what he’s saying there but a lot of people are saying this though that they’re nervous that people will stop will get frustrated golf will become

Much more difficult because they’re not hitting as far first of all if you’re not creating that much Club head speed you are going to lose distance but you’re not going to lose that much distance and the other thing is that there’s a lot of young people coming in

The sport that can create a lot of Club head speed like you see these guys that went for baseball and other sports into golf they create a lot of Club head speed this the speed is not the issue it’s this so gol good golfers you know like Bryson Des Shambo or somebody like

That they can create a lot of speed and control the club face so they just get extra distance this way when you cannot control the club face but you create a lot of speed you are just 10 20 yards further in the woods so actually that’s

Like one of the reasons that uh if you go to like a Junior tournament or like a ladies tournament or a senior ladies tournament or something like that they’re never they can’t even reach the tree line and they’re all the way up there so they’re never really in trouble

And uh people don’t don’t like this opinion but if if I look like this the shorter the ball goes actually the closer to at least to the center line it is so that reason is you will it will make the the game slightly more difficult but less but not as the

Increase in difficulty won’t be what you as much as you think because the shorter distance will also bring it in a little bit more it will make it more difficult for these players that hit like this and it will only make it slightly more difficult for players that hit like that

That’s my that’s my theory anyway and the main thing is like if they had like a computer model um but but really you would just have to go through and Stage tournaments that’s what Jack Nicholas T tried to do this at the end of the 90s

He had his own ball and he in Ohio he had some Pro tournaments where they used the ball and it was like worse than a range ball and uh that’s what and that’s what they do in in Major League Baseball which I think is is the best Organization for making rules changes if

You look at the changes the four changes that they made of the rules over last year which are controversial making the the bases bigger they made um shot clock and some other things all four changes had the intended result and that’s the main thing that you want to avoid is

Yeah main thing you want to avoid is unintended results right so uh that’s what you really need to do is take a limited ball and play tournaments with it what I’m kind of surprised that USGA wouldn’t start holding tournaments or maybe even like I could see I would be

Interested in like have a USGA ball for USGA events this is the ball you use okay a final thing that I’m going to talk about so click the thank you for clicking the like button more people did everyone who’s watching this right now we have 53 people watching it click the

Like button if you haven’t yet and uh it really will help this video and then also also if you’re not subscribed hit the Subscribe button it’s really been uh since Marcus came out and I did a lot of other other videos there’s been like some churn and subscribers I could

Really really use um some people hitting the Subscribe Button final thing I wanted to talk about was if I go here final thing I wanted to talk about was I just want to encourage people to do if you remember the video I did about the B better golf protocol where I

Was swinging like waste to waste and I have all these drills that’s like if you click the join button you’ll see like this this long list of things that you try to do every day the whole thing should take you like 18 minutes but that is like become the whole

Philosophy on how I think people should get better at golf like you should become a super great expert waste to waste I really think that that’s not taught enough and once you start bending the right elbow and you go start getting above um getting above the functional

Swing plane you have to do a lot of weird things to not weird things but you have to start to be really really talented and educated hands and athletic to get that face Square again because of how they made the golf club but if you get super good here to here you know

Sorry uh like belt to Belt like Tiger’s doing here then let’s just watch tiger so there but then and this is something that I’ve heard from a lot like Tiger Wood’s dad with with his wed shots he only wanted him feeling it would actually go longer

But he only wanted him feeling in all of his wed shots rib to rib when he won his first major and Patrick Harrington talks about his swing feels like this to this the momentum carries it back further on each side so I would just like uh uh send me

A a send me me a an email and I can show you I need to put up a better video explaining this but I think Chuck is it Chuck Cook made the the best version of this that Lee and I have talked about a lot and since I saw Marcus I think

There’s some additional things with this that you have to um you have to do so it’s it’s more bouncy than most people when they do this they just turn and turn you actually have to get down and go up as you’re and you start using the forces if

I’m ever in Gilbert Arizona stop by and say hi love your thank you yeah I will because I’m actually coming out to Arizona all right so couple announcements for the channel for 2024 Milo has challenged me to an in-person match he wants to play golf against me

And do a and Vlog and film the whole thing and uh Milo’s a better player than me but there are a few things that I do better than Milo that um I might be able to take advantage of so maybe I can make it a little closer than than he might be thinking

And uh I I want to do this against some other players too and I’m also thinking I might start playing some pro events I’ll lose like I won’t but it would be good content and it might actually the best thing to do for your golf instruction if you’re if it’s

Sounding like a crowded restaurant is like sign up for a tournament real quick you’ll be able to figure out uh the wheat from the chaff of what you really need to do the other thing is uh that I’m I’m going to be doing a live every
