It's cool man.

#TME is the best ball striker on tour.

Dufner is a pretty pure striker of the ball...and the waggle is pimp.

I've never known what that term means. If Dufner is seriously the best then why isn't he leading all these majors?

"ball striker" means you hit it in the sweetspot better than others ... it doesn't mean you've hit the correct shot ... doesn't mean you have the best strategy ... tiger may not have been the best ball striker, but he was long enough and had a good enough short game to bail him out when he didn't pull off the shot he wanted ... dufner is a great ball striker, but he's an average putter on his great days ...

Sergio is the answer..

He can hit shots and shape the ball better than anyone...

Cannot putt

My father in law went to the players, and said Ken Duke hit the ball more solid than anyone on the range.


He said If you closed your eyes and listened to DJ hit on the range, it sounds like a 20 handicap that swings hard, but then you turn and look and the ball stays in the air forever

Woody Austin can really stripe it. It amazing that a guy that putts as bad as he does stayed on tour for 20 plus years ..

Scott Verplank was pretty much the same but was a little better putter.

The young guys Sergio has to up there. Boo is there as well. I will also nominate Adam Scott and Robert Rock.

Boo had a spot the size of a dime worn out on his 3w the last time I saw him at the Zurich

I wonder what's going to happen to his game when they take his putter away next year.
