There is no question that Brian Gay gives up yardage to the field off the tee. But he's not the only one. For example, according to the Shotlink stats, Jim Furyk averages 273.1 yards. Brian averages 269.3. That's a difference of only 3.8 yards. And yet, you never hear that Jim is 'short.' All you hear about is his 'unique' swing.
Jim Furyk has never paid any attention to the naysayers.
Neither should Brian Gay.
It is a player's birthright to seek improvement in his Stroke, either its Power or its Precision or both. However, any considered change should first be geometrically-sound.
In my opinion, the 'solutions' offered last weekend from the TV tower fell woefully short of that standard.
