I think most people subconsciously bend a little when they drop now, I know I do, I mean there’s no way I’m reaching my knees with the state of my back

then you will be shot at dawn

I used to play with the Derbyshire u18's organiser. He said that they actually did a coaching session on dropping the ball when the rules changed.
The physical drop itself, when you can drop, where you can drop etc.
You know the rules are bit daft when people think practice on dropping is required.

I really hope so. Its rubbish seeing Rory fall away, I just want to see him win!

If he gets another Major I think we can all see him winning multiple more, just seems to lack some confidence at the moment.

We need him firing for Europe come September too!

Shows how good the guy is though. He's playing poorly, has no confidence and came T7 in his last 2 starts.

I think Rickie did it right when he (as a pisstake) dropped from between his legs

Like someone said earlier if that was Patrick Reed we would be another 20 pages along.

She's a first time offender as far as I'm aware. Reed has made it his thing!

Most people dont have arms down to their knees, and bending the knees is the more instictive way way to get hand to knees than a stright leg and a torso tilt. Most , me included, do it prettymuch as she did.

In regards to him, I'm not sure if he was paid to join or paid to leave!

the rule states it is from knee height in a standing position

You do not need to be in a standing position.

Edit: Had to read your post a few times to get what you mean. Knee height in a standing position, but you don’t need to be in a standing position to drop from knee height.

 

[IanM]

Yep, you may contort yourself as you see fit. Why you'd do so is the question. You see some odd moves!

sorry.
it's the height of the knee when in a standing position

yeah, I got what you meant after reading a couple more times. Edited my post accordingly.

I imagine there is always going to be some leeway with flex of the knee.

i can't believe a simple misread hasn't caused 400 pages of arguing and the thread being locked down

There has to be, you've already got different heights and lengths of people's legs anyway. It's not like 'knee-height' is a standard measurement.

 

[IanM]

Not if you bend at the waist!

Bit I'll have to get my 6 foot 7, 25 stone buddy to test that out! He could end up in traction.

I know it'd do so for a 6 foot 1, 13.5 stone golfer

 

[IanM]

As Ping fitting chart says.... it's not your height, it's the distance your fingers are from the ground!

Let’s keep Liv stuff on the Liv thread please

I suspect you may need to take a u-turn on this, or have a very busy few weeks ahead of you deciding what post belongs on which thread
