Moneyball and Bryson Dechambeau

Post-Tiger era has begun.

Bryson Dechambeau gained 40 pounds of muscle in the off season and is rewriting the game.

Bryson is also known as “the scientist” due to his measuring, calculating, and analyzing “everything”. This includes calculating the loss or difference in the spin rate of a ball in the deep rough grass when it is coming off the clubface and the loss in yardage — due to the grass being between the ball and the clubhead. Thus, he factors such into the distance and roll on the green — knowing he needs to swing 5% harder and is losing 10% spin…

The above were part of the instincts and experience of the 20-year tour veterans. But now with micro dissecting and analysis, Bryson (26 years old) has the data, the numbers, and the percentages-as did Billy Beane in Moneyball.

“You have to admire his work ethic,” analyst Paul Azinger said Friday on the Golf Channel’s broadcast of the Zozo. “I mean, everything Bryson does is with a purpose, and he’s converged math and science, and he’s put this physical body with this math and science. He’s launching at a trajectory with an amount of spin and speed that is giving him this 400 yards.”

Data, experience, resources, and talent. Bryson is showing how the new golf is to be played. Plus the now obvious, the power and muscle is essential.

Every collegiate golfer (men and ladies) now knows what to do. We are clearly in the post-Tiger era.

o-wer ship 2023 (ttt, discretizing):
Dae han mingook saram ga dat active force, where the blade of the club is acting-on the ball while its energy (force) is still accelerating… i.e. the edge of the blade is used as the tip of the spear and force is still pre-impact… < this is how a master and with intent effects on “the ball” or the matter at hand.
