PGATOUR.Com posted a piece of writing approximately Bubba and Bryson running together at the arm-lock placing fashion that Bubba is the usage of (with tremendous achievement) this week at the Genesis Open.
You've were given to love Bubba's take on this:
“He’s so much smarter than I am,” Watson told me [writer Andrew Tursky]. “We’re looking at it from the standpoint of, for me personally, trying to eliminate the arm movement left-to-right or right-to-left that leaves the putter open and closes the putter. So that’s how I’m looking at it, that’s the only reason I’m trying it right now. That’s the thing though, everything that I’ve asked him, and everything we’ve done, it comes down to your swing. Even putting is a swing. It comes down to how you de-loft the putter or add loft to the putter at impact. There’s no right or wrong (loft) number if that makes sense.”The article has the specs on Bubba's putters -- yes, he's trying a different one this week -- and the Ping guys are in on it as well. (Ping sponsors Bubba so of course they're interested.) They're still trying some different shaft lengths and such, trying to find out what works best for him. As Bubba says, he's never been in the Top100 putters on Tour, so he figures he has nothing to lose.
But it also shows that Bryson's approach to the game is gaining more appreciate at the large stage. Regardless of how you sense about the scientific approach Bryson takes, even David Feherty has stated that Bryson is good at explaining all of the technology in a way that much less technically-willing players can apprehend.
And they do not get a whole lot much less technical than Bubba. If this works for him, search for Bryson to get even more interest from the relaxation of the sphere.
