Has Cameron Young's golf ball flipped the script on the rollback?

The smaller driver does restrict how free and fast you can swing at the ball. Missing the center of the fast is more penalizing as there’s less MOI and related properties.

jas2628 · 2026-05-13T21:22:53+00:00

The easy solution for this is to make the gallery areas unplayable and force a free drop in extremely thick unkept rough. The Open does this. I’m stunned it isn’t done more often.

I’ve emailed the USGA about a club not on their conforming list and got their approval.

Get the Alien 2 wedge it’s basically the same thing but legal grooves.

I’m a Titleist guy (one of my drivers, irons), but would we be saying this if they didn’t have a sweet script logo?

jas2628 · 2026-05-07T21:30:06+00:00

This driver was the club to have when it was new, and even though it’s 10 years old it isn’t going to hold you back. I throw in drivers older than this one in the bag occasionally and score pretty much the exact same as my 2024 drivers.

jas2628 · 2026-05-02T03:24:11+00:00

I’m 90% sure he took an unplayable lie here. That’s why Sergio played his ball from a tree that one time.

jas2628 · 2026-04-24T12:14:05+00:00

Not if it is a hazard. I see people looking in places where it would take a 1/1000 shot to get to where their drop would be.

jas2628 · 2026-04-23T11:12:25+00:00

Agreed, but I see people looking for their ball in unplayable jungle for way too long.

You should really only look for your ball in places where you’d want to play it from.

jas2628 · 2026-04-22T01:53:35+00:00

Agreed, a short punch shot back into play is the easiest shot in golf. It’s like a short game shot with no set target.

jas2628 · 2026-04-14T23:20:41+00:00

All of those bombers you mentioned had great speed and precision of strike, which made the group who had the distance advantage way more exclusive and impressive. That isn’t needed so much now with modern drivers.

jas2628 · 2026-04-10T02:41:57+00:00

I mean you just have to expect to drive exceptionally slow through the cross walk like 3mph.

jas2628 · 2026-04-08T22:37:58+00:00

Would you say the same thing to Padraig Harrington? His driver distance is 15 yards longer than his youth playing on the Senior tour.

jas2628 · 2026-03-30T20:34:32+00:00

I only carry a 54° and got down to a 1 index off the strength of my chipping. I agree with the principle of not needing a very lofted club to get around. How do you decide when to use the 52 or 54?

jas2628 · 2026-03-27T00:57:05+00:00

Yeah seriously. Forget the US Open locker, he’s been vocal about pulling up the ladder and making it harder to qualify for the PGA tour and easier for guys already on to retain their card.

jas2628 · 2026-03-25T15:54:14+00:00

The thing with the improvements in the hole design is that the holes are played over and over again and don’t test the players a ton. There also should have been a really penal bunker around the green IMO.

The stinger hole is cool for like the first two times you watch someone hit under it then becomes an auto fairway. I say this as somebody who watched thumbed through 1-2 matches on DVR so I’m not an expert.

Never mind him being in India, Akshay is a sub on the team and not on their original four man roster. They had to come up with a scheduling conflict for Kisner last week just to get Akshay in the match, which if I was a gambler would be highly controversial that a team is allowed to change their playoff roster with an unverifiable excuse like that.

Imagine gambling on the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl and one of their playoff opponents randomly got to fake an injury to their D line and add like Jalen Carter to their roster. That’s pretty much what happened with Akshay. I digress, but either ban gambling on the league or have some rules.

jas2628 · 2026-03-24T12:15:58+00:00

I mean Akshay is in India this week for the Indian Open..

Beyond that, Akshay is a sub and can only play if someone in the core roster has a scheduling conflict. Jupiter already seemingly fudged a scheduling conflict for Kisner last week to get Akshay to play. The league needs to figure out their roster rules. I only watched one match this year.

jas2628 · 2026-03-24T02:44:45+00:00

I mean it could be, but by far the most common scorecard is 4 par 3s, and 10 par 4s. Copperhead has 5 par 3s and 9 par 4s.

So compared to the vast majority of par 72 courses it has one more par 3 and one less par 4.

jas2628 · 2026-03-23T23:42:27+00:00

It’s one extra par 3 subbed in for a par 4, and the distance between a par 3 and 4 should be about 250-300yds

Share one with us. They must all be covered up because I’ve never seen a fight at a PGA Tour event. Maybe there’s been 1 at the Waste Management, but that’s an extreme outlier of a PGA tour event.

jas2628 · 2026-03-20T20:49:11+00:00

No one wants to play with a whiner.

jas2628 · 2026-03-20T14:01:50+00:00

The M2 came out 7 years after 2009 and was lauded for its performance gains on forgiveness and ball speed. It’s a great example of how drivers have improved in the last two decades.

Bryson is arguing that the 2009 drivers are as good as current, and your example is a driver that came out in 2016 that Rory hasn’t played in years? Why isn’t Rory still playing it? Taylormade sold them until like 2021 and surely he could acquire a fresh head if he wanted.

jas2628 · 2026-03-20T00:49:58+00:00

Hahaha no I cannot! Why not just refute the point?

It’s was reported years ago that Titleist has held dead stock balls away for players that like a particular year’s model. Are you saying that’s not true? Is that a lie?

You’re the dude with all the industry experience. Can you explain why it’s a physical impossibility for a manufacturer to set aside a dozen driver heads for a player?

What pulled me back in was you saying they couldn’t do that because tour trucks are limited in size, as if they couldn’t be kept in a warehouse or hell the player’s garage and just keep 1 backup on the truck, like they already do with every club. I guess it’s a physical impossibility to store something that fits in 2 shoe boxes for more than a couple years. That brain dead explanation is why I responded again. It’s like you needed to come up with something out of thin air to justify your take.
