I hit a lot of mega hooks, does that count?

Buyers remorse? https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/saints-michael-thomas-injury-worse-than-expected/

And I am vehemently cheering against both players, imagine that! I am playing Diontae Johnson in 3 games this week, I am sure he seems like a decent person but I would very much enjoy him playing badly.

Some big scores out there today, but lots of games still to be decided tonight and on Monday. My heart goes out to anybody who started Mike Evans today.

Thanks. I will check it out. Obviously trying to avoid the gambling aspect, and having to be legal age to setup accounts (because my students are not). Hopefully this works. Thank you again.

Guys I had a general fantasy football question. Since we aren't having a football team at my high school this year, I wanted to find an easy way to keep the kids engaged and thought fantasy might be good. However, running a league with dozens of kids means having a regular draft where you own players is impossible. I was hoping to do a daily fantasy style league, but where the results carry over weekly. So every week you can make a new team and it would carry on throughout the season. Anybody have any idea a website that runs something like that? There is lots of daily fantasy and lots of dynasty fantasy, but not a combo of both. Thanks for the help!

I have no problem with a 7pm draft. The children however, may have other ideas. Made sure to do pre-rankings just in case

In addition to that, I know MGS and Tony in the past have expressed their appreciation of Titleist hybrids. Not a distance hybrid, they have more spin and are more of a scoring club. You might be able to search the website's archives to find the write-up when they came up for some more info.

Yeah the guy I went with sent me up over zoom and we had an hour together hitting balls in the backyard. Super chill, lots of fun and very helpful. Some guys will just analyze a video you take, I preferred this method. He also wanted me to film my swing and send them ahead of time, so he was prepared with some thoughts ahead of time. Scott Cowx is his name and he was the PGA Canada teacher of the year last year. Would recommend.

One thing I would recommend that a lot of instructors are doing right now (I've had success with this) is an online lesson. If you're not sure about any good teachers close to you, or have trouble getting the time to do in-person lessons, you can do a lesson from the privacy of your own house/yard. It worked well for me, so you could try that as an easier option. I would also recommend following instructors like Mike Bender and Travis Fulton on instagram. Travis has helped me and has great video courses to check out. Good luck!

It's a shame she has potentially played her last competitive round. If you would have told somebody 10 years ago she was going to have the career she's had, they wouldn't have believed you. I wonder if she's going to become a cautionary tale to all these parents who have their kids "specialize" in golf at a young age, and play what probably amounts to too much. Lots of wrist and ankle injuries that could potentially be related. Lots of studies show that multi-sport athletes have less injury concerns then those who specialize. I know parents want their kids to get scholarships and become pro athletes, but there are definitely side effects.

@edingc I love it. Sick intro! And the #TeamCalvesLikePhil is perfect for me. I got all kinds of power in these bovine beauties and I love showing them off. Dig it brother, great job, great setup, can't wait to see how things go!

I love how there are 60 pages in this thread and we don't even have a first post from the testers yet. This is going to be an absolutely outrageous challenge.

And IMO, this is what people who are hating Bryson are forgetting. Lots of people can bring it like that or swing even harder. Hell, we've all seen the long-drive guys. But they can't drives inside of a football field, and Bryson is hitting what, 65% fairways on the PGA tour with that speed? Swinging really hard and being accurate takes a tremendous amount of skill, whether people like it or not. Everyone seems to think that all of a sudden everybody will just start swinging hard and driving it like Bryson. I don't know how many golfers have the skill for that.

Right? Jealous non-tester trying to keep track! Looking forward to some great content this summer fellas.

I have the evenflow black in a G400 LST I bought over the winter. Had no idea what it would look like when I went to the course. The driver is a very hot and cold part of my game, and mostly, it was cold. Trouble with hooking the ball and poor contact with my old driver. This combo has been a god send. I have been bashing the ball and the left miss is almost completely out of play. My carry distance has gone up and my dispersion is tightening up as well. That head is no joke, but this combo has been awesome for me.

My man!

How you would you even know Bryson had a burner account on here? Unless..... As others have said, one length is intriguing. If I were to test it out I'd be more interested in a partial one length bag. Maybe a one length hybrid and the OL 5-7 iron, with my other clubs maintaining their regular length. I hit everything 7 and below very well, so I would not be super interested in changing that. And going OL around the green could cause lots of issues.

Put on as much weight as possible? This is supposed to be hard?

I'm excited to see your guys reviews/impressions of this. Been wanting to pull the trigger on shotscope for a while.

The team I was on just took things way too seriously. Wanted to enter all these weekend tournaments to try and win prize money. Arguing about calls. Wanting to practice, team batting practice, etc. I just couldn't do it with a straight face. Then I tried playing co-ed. Without being a jerk, that was WAY worse.

I played a lot of competitive baseball through my teenage years, and there are lots of similarities between the swings (namely rotational power and strength). Activities like throwing have similar benefits. That being said, I stopped playing slo-pitch a few years ago and my golf game took off. I got tired of playing slo-pitch mostly because it was being taken WAY too seriously and I just couldn't care that much. When I was playing softball the rotation aspect of the swing is the same, but as others have mentioned, my release became awful. Because you don't release a club the way you release a bat, I found I was leaving the clubface open and hitting those nasty pushes many mentioned (or slamming the face closed and hitting some AMAZING hooks). Glad it's working for some, but it did not work for me.

Those are sexy looking. My feeling on wedge colours is they should match what else is in your bag. If you have chrome irons, I would be more likely to do with a chrome wedge. But since most irons are badged, cavities with graphics etc. not many people are playing straight chrome irons anymore. Or at least, nobody I play with.

He's definitely got a big frame. I'm surprised he's only 6'1", seems like he'd be taller. As long as it's muscle mass, and distributed well, it will help him. It seems like a lot of his gains are legs and torso, which will help with force generation in a rotational sport like golf. He's an interesting case study to see if it is a path more should take. For every success story of chasing distance there are lots of players who ended up hurt or ineffective because of added bulk. Perhaps he's providing a blueprint to do it better. Greg Roskopf is his trainer and, well, he seems like a guy who would get along with Tom Brady. But you can't argue with results.

If you've been following this story, his training/stretching/nutrition guy is a really interesting character. Kind of a "guru" type but Bryson swears by him. Says he has not lost any flexibility and just gained strength. You have to worry about tendon strength, elasticity, etc. when dealing with rapid weight and muscle gain, as well as stress on joints and bones, but he seems to be handling it well. He's driving it an average of 321 yards off of the tee. If he keeps hitting it that far, it will help him win. That's what it's about. Perhaps long-term he is creating more potential for injury and damage, but if he makes 100 million from golf in the next 2 decades I think that's a trade-off he is looking to make.
