just to take a break from all the stupid shite, I thought some of youse would enjoy this ... I have a niece built just like her who is two years younger with Nike and other contracts under her belt...
I'm going to do the uncle/niece outing sometime before Christmas ... even though nuts can no longer play, it's become a tradition where the crazy uncle gets a day to enjoy 'mano o mano' w/o any skin in the game other than family...
yo, trips ... critique her swing/game ... I already have ... a bit too rigid with the right arm and hands due to not loading up the inner right thigh (where torque is generated ... she hangs on her left) ... but ya gotta love the width and tempo ... her short game (where it's always won or lost) needs work (softer hands) ... I saw recoil/decel alligator yips on a couple of occasions ... 'course, Tiger did too after the 9-iron thru the windshield ... now that he's dating her mum, he might be able to help explain the head case side of the equation ...
I watched the first few minutes so far. She has an abbreviated back swing and follow-through. And her right elbow flies a bit on her back swing. Her stance and tempo are nice. The one chip I saw, she's jerky, and punched it way past the hole.
I'll watch all of it eventually, and see what else unfolds. Overall, she has a beautiful balanced swing, which overcomes some lesser flaws most of the time.

lol ... that was painful to watch ... funny enough, DJT's swing is eerily similar w/o all the mental pauses ... his stance is too narrow and jerks it dead inside ... however, his works due to tempo and mass ... for an almost 80 yr. old, that's pretty dadgum spiffy...

in the vid I posted, he explains how his old swing would drag inside, then lift .... I remember when some dipshite tried to explain that theory to nuts ... I flat out told him to go away, you're clueless...
out, high, away to create width is where the slapshot comes from ...
there's a reason Scheff, DJ, and Rahm all lay it off a tad ... it's spank central with a high controlled fade that flies...

A high controlled fade was my normal shot, too.
I only hit draws off the tee on doglegs that req'd such ... the irons were either straight or what I called "drop right" ... there was a two-year period where I got sick of hearing, "if you could putt or chip, you'd kill 'em all." ...
I miss playing ... the body can't deal with the pain anymore...

Same here. My last round was maybe 8 years ago. Still had it. Only hit one bad shot all day. But I have mild osteoporosis on my spine, and I just can't afford to rattle my cage any more.
