How can the shortest Hitter help in the tour bag

Brian Campbell’s Win in Mexico It should inspire most of us. Not only because he is a new name, or his first victory, or even the fact that he got A stroke from the trees That everyone begs to happen to us one day.

Brian Campbell, from all the metrics of elite men’s golf, is a short hitter. In fact, it is almost the shortest hitter in the tournament.

Let’s take a look at the numbers quickly to put this in the context. Here are Campbell’s PGA Tour Statistics (ranked by 186):

Club head speed: 108.7 (179)
Direction distance: 277.8 (186)
Ball speed: 162.05 (182nd)
Total Carry: 260.1 (184)
Total Driving Efficiency: (123)
Departure: 9.15 (144)
Spin: 2620 rpm (30)

But…

Direction accuracy: 70.67 (9)
Approximate Trend: 19.44 (6)
Distance from the Center of the Straight Road: 19’9 ″ (61)
Good car percentage: 90.67 (2)

In the tour, to win, you need to do some things on an avener level. If you are short, you have to do it by being correct. If your iron game is missing, you need to chop it and moisten on a tony start level. Bad putter? Better iron as hawkeye. You make sense?

The pointing is (and this is where we draw our inspiration) the boy is short … yes … but my Lord is the one effective. Whatever he lacks, he performs 100 percent to invest in other variables he can control. There is no world where Brian wakes up and becomes a 180+ ball speed player – is not what he is or has ever been. It doesn’t matter. He plays Golf focusing on raising his floor, staying efficiently and giving preference to control over everything else. You want to see the megatron version of this?

The placement of Brian’s bag speaks this language. It is a curated bag for rotation management, gap and zero reference options to hit it further.

Ping G440 LST Driver

$599

G440 Driver family (Max, LST, SFT) is optimized to give more ball speed through multiple advances, including deeper cg of ping to a driver to date and a shallow, thinner face while Continues to secure the pardon that changes the expected game from a ping driver. The G440 LST design appeals to players at faster swing speeds, providing lower rotation and more control at 9 ° and 10.5 ° Lofts with the rear weight of the three positions. Very lighter pardon weight allows more severe backpack. The fastest shallow, thinner face, the face increases the velocity of the ball for more distance, higher release. The new shaping design, carbon crown and interior ribs produce silent impact experience. The free lid design saves weight in lowering CG, increases the apology. Allows for more face bending by the heel side for the constant ball speed across the face.

To do this one step further, I will say that Brian’s bag (he is a ping employee) is as much as he gets. In the fight with metal wood, Kinda company identities look like this (at least for five big ones):

Heavy ball speed: Callaway, Taylormade

Efficiency and Stability: Ping

A little of both: Tixa of title

Ping as a platform is known for making drivers who really go straight. Even in the tournaments, we all know that. If you want a driver who will come out in front of you a tone, ping is your first stop. This is where the game of equipment becomes interesting.

I will admit to my early testing, Ping drivers were not faster-not slow from any extension (we are talking 1-2 mph difference) but ping drivers, from a perspective of Efficiency, are extraordinary. So this raises the question: how to transaction the exchange of 6-9 yards of keeping for a larger route, one less “Miss Big”, etc. And to be right, in my test I have received large balls from the ping, so my reference to the ball speed is during 20-30 strokes (average). You can’t only look at the unicorn balls as your database. They are unicorn balls for a reason. It’s not real life.

This is Brian Campbell’s strategy to win in the tournament. A high floor beats the high random ceiling most of the time.

I had a chance to talk to Kenton Oates, the man in the tour of the joining of this bag, and that is what he had to say:

JW: As one of the shortest shoes in the tournament, what is the strategy regarding calling to his driver? Is the distance tracking sometimes a thing or is it essentially ensuring that accuracy is never sacrificed? Strategy what strategy is there for 3 wood/7-druu? I noticed that he is in a strong 3-dru and 7-dru. What is happening there?

KO: Brian’s focus on his adaptation G440 LST was to make sure he could hit his shot in his window. He is very aware of the one who makes his game better and realizes that although earning the ball speed as we with the change to 440 is good, it means nothing to him if he can’t play from the first road. 3-Wood is a club that Brian has to get a distance from so it chooses a stronger 3-wood and uses our LST head to maximize the ball speed and starting conditions. 7-Dru, as it is for many of our players, is just the perfect club for that gap between 4-Herkuri and their 3rd. It is so versatile club for our staff players.

JW: From the point of view of data/release conditions, what does it differ when working with BC? Thing anything in the numbers that can your average golf look at?

KO: Immediately BC loved the improved G440 LST appearance and sound and noticed an increase in ball speed, which was excellent, but initially came with an increase in rotation and was a little easy to return. During the test we went to a stronger shaft. Although Brian is not the longest hitter, the strongest axis helped optimize his starting conditions.

JW: His placed cuffs are interesting, he goes easier and softer in cuffs hard and rigid with wedge, why is this?

KO: Brian has played that part of KBS for a long time. He’s more, “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it” type of player. He will not go out of his way to make changes if he does not think they are needed.

JW: anything unique do you do with its placement that distinguishes? Internal/external weighing etc.

KO: In his driver, we use flat setting+ to ensure that his face angle looks “square” in his eye. One of his initial issues with 440 was that he looked more open to the address, and although BC likes to hit him very much with a slight pallor, he does not like to see an open face at the address. We were able to go from a 10.5* head to a 9* head in the Flat+ to get reduced attic we needed, but with a “square” in search of the corner of the face at rest.

The biggest taking for all of us here is this: there is no nobility to hit it a mile and still shoot a million. One of the biggest lessons I learned to work with tournaments has been to control and protect the successful variables that took you there. At all costs. If you are lucky to evolve, wake up somewhat, great. But in no way can you sacrifice the superpowers you own that took you in the tournament in the first place.

Xander Schauffle is a perfect example of this. It became really quick over the last 18 months. You want to know the most interesting thing? His startup data did not change at all. Each number stood the same. The only number that changed was his ball speed. We didn’t touch his sticks, at all. This is rare. If you can do this, God bless you. If you are like me and you just want to shoot a summary of good results, see how Brian Campbell treats his business. Boys like this make us all a favor. He is a modern tournament player with whom we can actually connect.

And he just won.

Is a great job. Pay attention.
