There is already a Texas Open and it has a very long history. She might have to fight Texas at the Alamo if she tries to stage a Texas Open, those people are fanatics.

"Wood Feel".....that is a term that will be fading out.....Same thing happened in Golf in the 80s when the Taylor Made Burner came out....Very similar comments to this thread....just no internet back then. The term "metal wood" was always a bit funny to me.

I am not sure why there is this "feels like wood" race in the CF world......other than that is what the populous is familiar with and holding on to.....Eventually that will fade also and the CF will develop its own characteristics....One CF shaft will be more tuned for 1-pocket...another will be tuned more for rotation....wood feel will no longer be in the conversation.

However....good news is......I still have my old wood shaft I can pull out and play with whenever I feel the urge. ;)

Thoughts on players who seemingly take Zero practice strokes, before shooting / final follow through?

If you need a longer bridge to perform micro adjustments said adjustments are far from micro.

LD shafts or not, using an 18" bridge as default won't do squat for accuracy.

Yeah, well then you are just limited on knowledge and don't understand BHE, and pivot points. If you did, you would know that what you stated above is just wrong. Now, it's potting accuracy, not overall accuracy, but it does help quite a bit although it's not something that you should rely on.

Not to mention, you still have to be lined up right initially.

I can easily create a video demonstrating it. I can show a shot with proper stroke and one with horrible stroke both bridging at the pivot point and not and showcase the benefit of bridging at the proper place.

Now I don't think I have any shafts with an 18" pivot point at the moment but I can show one with 15" if you'd like.

At the Arizona open Corey was mentioning that he hardly recognized anyone there and that most them had no idea who he was. I think it was me, him, Max Eberle and Johnny Archer standing there. I said, "Yeah, unfortunately, we're the dinosaurs here. Most of the people here probably don't know that you were the original reason that they went to the nine on the spot either".
