Had lunch with my wife today.

Looked her in the eyes and told her dead serious… it’s the best week of the year.

She lit up. Music to her ears.

Pretty sure she thought it was because of her birthday.

But I was telling the truth.

It’s Masters week.

Either way… let’s have a good one.

😂 (this joke was wife approved. Pretty proud of myself)

​

Anyways...

We made an epic video summarizing 48 hours at Ping.

Everything from the production line floor, to the tour room, more great research with Dr Paul Wood

​

Today at a Glance

• New Ping driver research
  ​
• Favorite Masters insights
  ​
• New review videos. Fan or no?
  ​
• Ridiculous comment of the week. 😂

“Should I hit a draw, a fade, or just try to hit it dead straight?”

I asked that exact question during a session with Dr. Paul Wood at PING HQ. The answer?

It’s not what you think and it might completely flip how you approach the driver.

Here’s the short version:

• You don’t need a different swing to hit a draw or fade. Ping Man, their robot, used the exact same motion. The only change? Face angle.
• There's no biomechanical advantage to any one shot shape. Fade, draw, straight - it's about what’s repeatable and fits your launch and spin.
• Does having a shot shape reduce your misses? It’s mostly in your head. Physics doesn’t care if it curves left or right.
• We also tried to figure out how far out of the center we had to move the strike to lose 10 yards on a drive. I was shocked.

If you’re chasing distance, consistency, or just trying to figure out your “go-to” tee shot, this is worth watching.
