00:00If you were stood on the 6th at Bay Hill, you know, that par 5 that goes around the corner,
00:05basically the U-shaped dogleg,
00:07and you're taking on a line that you need to carry at 280, 290 yards to get across,
00:14you're doing that with a 460cc head where we've seen you can hit it on any part of that club
00:18base and it's going to make that carry.
00:20Correct.
00:21Well, you know, is that that exciting?
00:23You want to take that line on with that 130cc drive ahead, knowing that for missing the middle by 2
00:31or 3mm,
00:32you're going to lose 15 plus yards and simply not make that carry.
00:36Well, if you're willing to take that line with that, the jeopardy that introduces, the emphasis on skill,
00:41and I think we've just got to the point now where we talk about, I mean, it's been spoken about
00:47a lot,
00:47that the sort of playing fields become rather bunched at all levels of professional golf,
00:55because ultimately everyone can hit it now, because the drivers are so easy to use,
01:00so everyone flies it 300 yards, and if you don't, like, you're very much a short hitter.
01:06It made Russell Henley look pony at Augusta, because he doesn't hit it that far.
01:11He hits it 285.
01:12Yeah, exactly right.
01:13It's absurd.
01:14And everyone's like, well, this guy can better get it off out of his shadow.
01:16I'm so sure, yeah.
01:17What?
01:17You limit that at 44 inches of a driver's shaft and put it at 130cc, so you're not...
01:23Because the professional game is peg it up as high as you like, swing out your boots as hard as
01:28you can,
01:29because if you get that clubface on the ball, which you will, it's going to be fine.
01:32So it's just a matter of who can swing the hardest, who can make it go straight.
01:35It doesn't matter where it comes off the clubface.
01:37Let's get back to emphasising how important strike is.
01:40I can't tell you how much that would create that clear division of who are the most talented people here,
01:49who have the skills, and I wish that would be a thought about.
