@jonathanrwall But if he cuts 5" off a DG Mid, doesn't that change the flex of the shaft, making it stiffer and defeating part of the purpose?

One of the more fascinating equipment changes I've seen in some time went down last week at Bay Hill — so let's unpack it. Look closely at this photo of Collin Morikawa splashing one from the bunker at Bay Hill, and you'll notice the True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue Mid shaft in his @TaylorMadeGolf MG5 lob wedge. For those unfamiliar with Dynamic Gold Mid, it's an iron shaft with a reinforced mid section and a more active tip that helps increase launch. Notice how I said "iron shaft," not wedge shaft. In my years covering gear on tour, I'm not sure I've ever seen DG Mid in a lob wedge. Spoke to TaylorMade rep Cory Johnson, who worked with Collin last week on the new build. The goal? Find a shaft, grind, and sole design that allowed him to maintain shaft lean while still getting the ball out softer with more spin on chip and pitch shots. Collin was looking for the "whippiest" shaft possible to let the shaft deflection add loft and create more spin, even when he leans on it. But instead of sticking with a standard wedge shaft, Johnson got creative. Believing DG Mid had the shaft properties for proper delivery, he built up a lob wedge with a DG Mid 6-iron shaft, an 8-iron shaft, and a wedge shaft to test the effect. As well as several other standard S400 options. You read that right: A 6-iron shaft in a lob wedge. Think of it as an extreme version of "soft-stepping," where a shaft from a longer club is put in a shorter one. "I put the [6-iron shaft] in there trying to make something very different to see what he said," Johnson said. "He loved it around the greens. Was hitting shots he couldn't with his gamer." To get the 6-iron shaft to fit in a lob wedge, Johnson cut 5-plus inches off the butt end to get to 35 inches cut length. He confirmed it's the first time he's ever done that with a lob wedge. Johnson plans to pick Collin's brain this week at TPC Sawgrass to see how it held up last week, and whether any tweaks are needed on half and full shots. "That's why Collin is the best," Johnson said. "He'll always test, and his feel gives incredible feedback."

@BridgetCondon_ @cheetah For Tyreek Hill to win against the cheetah in a 100-yard race, moving at their top speeds, he would need a head start of approximately 30.6 yards to match the cheetah's 2.7-second advantage.

Bridget Condon@BridgetCondon_·
Today is International Cheetah Day   Tyreek Hill's top speed according to Next Gen Stats is 23.24 mph. A cheetah has a top speed of 75 mph.   If @cheetah raced an actual cheetah, how much of a head start would he need to win in a 100-yard race if both were moving at their top speed the entire time? Find out on today's episode of RedZone OT @nflnetwork @ScottHanson

@GolfloverUK 100% agree, but random special exemptions is not the way forward. Fix the OWGR so the best players in the world playing competitive rounds of golf are counted accordingly.

Bryson is correct! Anyone that doesn’t want to see LIV players in majors simply doesn’t like seeing the best players in the world in the four biggest events. Nothing else to it!
NUCLR GOLF@NUCLRGOLF

🚨🗣️ World #90 Bryson DeChambeau says a solution to LIV qualifying for majors would be “creating an exemption category for LIV players based on how they play throughout the year.” He goes on to talk about the OWGR, saying: “We’ve gone so far down the list now that it’s really difficult to make us even relevant. And I think that was part of their play.”

@GolfNutSociety @NUCLRGOLF That's the point, perhaps the criteria should change if guys finishing top 5 in majors aren't being considered for any golf outside of those very majors, regardless of where or how else they are playing competitively...

🚨☠️ Claude Harmon III rips into legacy golf media: “Listen, there are a lot of people that having gone through this whole LIV versus the PGA Tour, there are a lot of people that you guys on the Tour side of this, I mean, blow smoke up their asses like their F—ing world beaters. And some of these guys haven’t won tournaments in quite a long time. The fact that Will Zalatoris is top 10 in the world is laughable, and it has nothing to do with him. He goes on to say: “..My point with that is you guys all acted like Brooks was a shitty player and Will Zalatoris was great, but the guy has won one F—ing golf tournament, yeah, he’s finished second in a bunch of tournaments. So have a lot of players, but you guys are ready to crown him as if he’s the second coming of Christ and you guys are acting like Brooks Koepka was a bum.” (Via: @golfweek)

@Motorsport Baku has regularly held one of the best races every year for the 6-7 years it’s been around, why then would the FIA make such a dramatic change to the DRS zone and ruin the entertainment? Drivers didn’t like it, fans didn’t like it.

@acaseofthegolf1 Kind of unfortunate one of the main draws for these guys was more time at home with families and now they find themselves traveling to Asia to have to play for OWGR points in random weeks.

@wtf1official @XPBImages 7. Anyone saying 9, yeah, sounds miserable to see an F1 car do 220 mph past the Belaggio fountains from the overhead helicopter view of the strip. Sign me up.

@Doc_JJK Getting his point across? He signed yet another Pork-laden piece of hot spending garbage at a time when people are struggling because of the illicit decisions of our own government. Why are we funding so many foreign social projects when our own people are suffering? Mistake.

Continues to be a brilliant move by #Trump contrary to what you'll be hearing & reading from #presstitutes & #Democrats. By signing this #CovidReliefBill , #Trump still managed to get his strategic point across: Namely, $600.00 checks are chump change & unnecessary govt spending

@ClayTravis @AndrewHGiuliani Guy loses .005% of his Twitter followers for tweeting dumb political hackery and "the cost has never been greater" for speaking your mind." Woof, read a book or five, Darren.

@whca @OKnox So you won’t, “police the tone or frequency” of a member, but have no problem policing the reactionary move(s) of a WH and calling it “weak and unjustifiable.” Got it.
