He’s currently 74th…he had a few solid performances in majors the last couple years since he went back to Butch Harmon. He needed to grow up a little
Golf is not just for pros. It is really for the regular daily golfer. So, the distance issue is really about pros. Also, most of the courses that the pros play are off limits to the regular golfer. And if they are not there increased distances are irrelevant to the amateur golfer. So, courses can still be built for the amateur without regard to the issue of distance.
I’m a fan.
Great vid👍 I, for one, hope for his strong comeback.
Rickie Fowler WILL WIN a Major in 2025. The end.🎉
I really like the man, but there's no way that's happening.
Im feeling a Rickie Fowler comeback
I was there and I thought it was fun
The Strata was the first successful multilayer non wound ball. And no piece of equipment will destroy the game. People just have a problem with the score in relation to par. Who cares. All tournaments since the beginning of time go down to the last 9 on Sunday. Everyone plays the same level equipment. Want to reduce distance and raise scoring? Do 1 thing. Quit making the fairways so firm and tight. A longer cut will reduce driver roll and make it harder to spin irons and wedges. There ya go. Leave the equipment alone.
golf has a bigger problem and that is getting new golfers to join and be engaged in the sport. The price of a round of golf keeps most people out of the sport. Making the toughest courses tougher won't affect new golfers, or any amateur golfers. This video tells the average golfer nothing. If you aren't near scratch golf, don't hit Pro V1 unless you like double bogies. Beginners should hit a soft and forgiving ball until they get the hang of the game.
Subbed plus good vid
Thank you!
Old Sand Castles suin' someone else for ruinin' his name....he's made a pretty good fist of that all on his lonesome for mine...tosser.

Great storytelling! You’re constantly putting out great vids. With such high-quality content, you deserve tons of subscribers.

He’s nothing but a dog - playing on the Asian tour now, 🤣😂🤣 Loser! Hey, you didn’t mention when he ‘identified his ball’ up in a palm tree when TV showed it hit a different tree!

1:34 - 1:38 Mini Tour Problems
I love the tournament. Great place to get loaded.
The PGA is way too stodgy. Hardly anyone remembers who won the 2013 Charles Schwab (Kenny Perry, btw) but everyone remembers Tiger dropping a hole in one in front of 20,000 ASU students on 16 in 1997. The reason they remember that is because of the atmosphere. Get rid of the dumbass box seats and get back to what makes TPC Scottsdale the most exciting course in the PGA schedule.
In the year two thousaaaaaaaand.......in the year two thousaaaaaaand........
Lead Poisoning and Helicopter 🚁 parents contributed to her downfall. She had a good career.
so some corporation that "manages waste" sponsors a "golf tournament"??? What's next? The "Growler Porta-Potty" Open???
The Get Totally Wasted Mgmt Open lol!
Just don’t make the ball go any further …. A lot of us work our butt off on the range and at the gym to be able hit ball speeds of up to 180mph. Plus golf is now more fun than ever because of longer hitters like Bryson.
I strike a new provx 20 yds further than other balls
He made some good points but I've seen enough footage of people including amazing pros say he is the real deal, they are in awe watching him on the range and on the course. We cant win everything and he hasn't needed to to leave his mark on this game and his not done.
It seems ludicrous that they keep making balls that go farther and then they lengthen the courses or tighten them up with hazards and bunkers which make them too difficult for the average golfer to play. The ball should be rolled back to a average distance of no more than 300 yds. and all major brands should be made compliant. Or perhaps they should adopt a tour ball that all players use. I mean why is golf the only sport that doesn't have an official tour ball?
its also the equipment. materials, lofts, etc… to claim its just the ball is being willfully ignorant.
Another great vid👍 Great to watch! Golf is not an easy game..Hope Mcllroy comes back strong.
If he could win a few more majors...it would be a great comeback story
One fix might be to stop having fairways on par fives that go the whole way from tee to green. Splitting the fairway into two sections with a large area of the deep stuff running from 270 to 320 yards out from the tee would force most players to club down for the tee shot. Even narrowing the fairway to a choke point, say, just 15 yards wide with substantial rough either side at that range, might be enough. If the big hitters want to try hitting 320 on the fly to get into the second fairway, or in the latter case, think they are accurate enough to roll into the choke point... let them try. If course designers don't want to go that extreme, start having an array of grass bunkers in the landing zone. A player using driver risks ending up in a grass bunker with a difficult lie for their second shot. Clubbing down will avoid that risk.
I started the single plane swing 18 months ago and went from a 20 to a 12 handicap...it works!
That's amazing👏 Gotta try!
Every one of these good for nothing losers will pay for that there's a judge called Jesus Christ
Professionals need to be more professional. If you are at the top level of golf and youre actually listening to the crowd, why? Tune it out. Listen to your iner monologue. Im telling myself so many things in my swing that i dont care if people are talking because it wont register. Its just background noise.
Funny how you never mentioned the already agreed upon golf ball rollback. Read up on it.
Ball flight paths are tightly regulated by the PGA and balls must comply with these requirements. Clubs likewise are regulated. The only factor that we cannot control is the athletic capabilities of the professional. As an amateur my drive remains limited to 200 meters or maybe a little more on a good day and accuracy or repeatability is the amateurs curse. By the way, you fail to mention the advent of Surlyn Ionomer resins into the golf ball market from DuPont and its impact on ball design both as a cover material and in intermediate layers. Today, this resin along with urethanes remain critical to ball construction. The Tiger “Nike” ball was actually made by Bridgestone of Japan under contract and was the ball he played for much of the peak of his career. He never really shifted to Nike’s own ball during the shift to Nike’s “own” ball production was actually OEM production in Taiwan. This effort was short lived as Nike failed to penetrate the professional ball market against the likes of Titelist, Callaway and TaylorMade. This lead to them shutting down the equipment business in golf, their biggest setback in targeting professional sport.
Time is the biggest issue with the sport for amateurs; balls technology is more of an issue for professionals.
Moe Norman is a legend!
"Too far" is relative to the distance that a course was designed for. Every improvement from equipment to technique causes problems for courses.
Its a pity that hitting a prov1 feels like hitting a rock.
…let’s face it, if your swing speed is under 100 mph, then you may as well buy a bag of 100 used balls at Walmart…and 99% of golfers swing sub 100…
Thumbs down. It’s not just the ball that’s creating distance. It’s increased in athleticism, efficiency and swing speed 20 years ago you’d never see the world top 25 golfers in the gym. Now those folks are working out 7 days a week. The advent of swing radars also allowed players to really fine tune the optimal launch numbers and get as close to maximum potential distance as possible. Plus what the other guy said. If you want to roll back the ball do it for the pro but leave us ams alone. I’ll play pro v’s till the end.
Go back to 2028 golf ball rool out this will favour me
I ball speed in 193 mph
