@Brent_Rooker25 @thwacknicklaus Only if you find some tour balata balls from late 80’s-early 90’s to complement them- see what happens to your spin rate. 280 will be an impressive driver carry.

MLB hitter here who has been inspired by Mr. P&G. My grandfather passed this past summer - he was a golf nut and I found these two Hagen persimmon woods and this sweet Macgregor 985 Tourney Custom 2 iron in an old golf bag of his.
I have limited knowledge of older equipment so I ask - is this an iron set worth looking for and completing to put together a set to go out and play with on occasion?
English
If that’s your stance, then you should be for:
—MLB hitters playing aluminum bats
—Lowering the hoop in the NBA
IT’LL MAKE IT EASIER!!!!!
However you justify saying no to those two analogies in your head should go for gold as well…

@Brent_Rooker25 If this 50 year old man can live around 118-120, it can’t be considered elite anymore for a tour pro in his prime. I’m a has been. 🤷🏽

Those darn radar guns are at it again. Everyone knows that prior to 2007 it was measuring swing speed at the start of the takeaway! Guys have always swung this hard!
Fit For Golf - Mike Carroll@Fit_For_Golf
Number of players to average over 120mph club head speed on the @PGATOUR Year : No of players '07: 9 '08: 10 '09: 7 '10: 7 '11: 8 '12: 11 '13: 15 '14: 10 '15: 13 '16: 14 '17: 18 '18: 17 '19: 23 '20: 20 '21: 21 '22: 22 '23: 29 '24: 31 '25: 42 120mph is no longer elite speed.

@Coach_KGraber Have scored with 2 strikes and 2 outs on throws into LF doing momentum leads off a P’s max looks at least 3-5 times a year since 2010. Last thing a coach or pitcher cares about in those situations is the runner at 2B! #cobrastrike
English
Conventional wisdom/old-school coaches: why steal 3rd w/ two outs? We'll score on contact anyway? Conventional wisdom/old-school coaches: why steal w/ 0 outs? We'll move R to 3rd with < 2 outs, and he'll then score on contact. New school: if they give it to us, we take it!
English
@Coach_KGraber The button is the “spot” your right foot hits after the shuffle lands.
1. If P picks mid shuffle, you push back off button, take short R foot crossover and dive back
2. If P is still set, stay on button or shuffle back
3. If P delivers, burst to 2B off the button
English
"Hit the button." Anyone know what this means in teaching momentum steals? If not, you don't get it.

@Brent_Rooker12 Tell me there is a non-zero chance you will be in a booth as the Romo of MLB in about 10 years!
English
@Brent_Rooker12 Great for hitters if that is the new line, they might give hitters a chance on the elite sliders/sweepers!
English
@ryanporter1 If that’s the line they use it’s gonna cut down on check swings called strikes by like 75%

Please please please please please

@Coffee_n_ball The Grizz might need to give you an entry level job in the front office! You called it early! 👊 nice prediction

After a nice Vegas showing and playing well in pre-season I'm fairly confident Jaylen Wells will carve out a role on this Memphis team.
Oh and I stand and double down on my assessment that Wells was the sleeper of the 2024 draft.
C.Z.R@Coffee_n_ball
All in all, I came away very impressed with him. So here's my hot take for this draft cycle. (One of them) Jaylen Wells will be a top 10-12 player from this draft class and deserves to at the very least be a 1st round pick. Teams will regret passing on him.
English
@Brent_Rooker12 I don’t know, considering most 2024 projections had you hitting .220-.245 with .740ish OPS, I would say you proved the computers/experts wrong.
English
I might’ve also hit .300 this year if I was just, ya know, a better hitter. But I choose to place blame elsewhere.
Brent Rooker@Brent_Rooker25
I might’ve hit .300 this year if this was the case so I may be a little biased. Looking at you, official scorer in Houston on May 15 along with a few others.
English
@Brent_Rooker12 4 more hits…definitely within the margin of some iffy scorer’s decisions. But I think Bregman has to make that May 15 play after he gloved it. 😉 Better question is, what would you have hit playing home games in Camden, Fenway or Angel Stadium??? .315? 😎

Every official scorer should be a former hitter

🚨BREAKING: ESPN has FIRED former NFL star Robert Griffin III, despite him having two years left on his deal, per @TheAthletic.
😳
Griffin, was recently demoted from Monday Night Football for Jason Kelce & is now completely OUT OF A JOB.

@LouStagner Types of grass can make a big difference in expectations. When the Bermuda in the south gets really thick by July, anything in the rough at 3 inches or so is unpredictable. Besides Kikuyu a couple of times in Cali, I haven’t played in tougher rough

How does your short game stack up?

@OldRowMemphis @JohnMartin929 @DailyMemphian Also Parlow and Cain merely prepped in Memphis. I don’t have a problem with the list myself. Tough task to narrow it down. 👍
English
@ryanporter1 @JohnMartin929 @DailyMemphian I am aware of his awards I am familiar with who he is but mostly everyone else was pro/ college Memphis and he played at MS State so that is where I can disagree on it
English
For transparency purposes, here’s my @DailyMemphian ballot of the Top 25 Memphis athletes since 2000.
Admittedly, definitely a glaring omission or two. But feel overall comfortable with it.
English
@OldRowMemphis @JohnMartin929 @DailyMemphian Touché, but is Rachel Heck (same type situation) not also in the same situation?
English
@OldRowMemphis @JohnMartin929 @DailyMemphian In 2017, he won the first Triple Crown in SEC Baseball since Rafael Palmeiro. Golden Spikes finalist for D1 Baseball that year. 2 State Championships at ECS. All-Star last year and will be a top 10 hitter this year in MLB. Should supplant Riley since he is from MS. 🧐
English
@JohnMartin929 @DailyMemphian Controversial on Rooker. Can’t agree or disagree putting him in here

What's the best golf course you've ever played? ⛳️

After hitting one 450 earlier today, Brent Rooker goes 452 feet this time!

I made this as his high school coach. Best player I ever coached.
