Wait until Hammersia logs back on.  He'll let you know how tall the player really is.  Guessing somewhere around 6'2"...

In heels

[ALIF]

I just love his swing!

[wbfl]

Forget his driver, what putter does he use? 🤣

There's no sense in keeping this conversation going with you. You obviously know more than every other person posting in this thread on this subject, and are the only one who knows these people's true height. Nevermind you can find their height in multiple places online, and you are the only one wrong, I mean, why let facts get in the way of a poor opinion.

 

Or you are trolling just to see how people react. Either way, I'm done with this conversation.

No arguing with him.  He's the same person that said that WDA guys like Ryan Steenberg and Joe Miller don't powerlift and incorporate compound movements.  Plenty of instagram posts showing Steenburg squating 495 with chains and deadlifting as much.  Also there are youtube videos showing Joe Miller doing bent over rows with barbell.

I think that he's ideal for a sponsor invite... that's if he doesn't make it on his own.

Would be cool to see him paired with Bryson

Sweet! Thanks. I’ll have to record tomorrow’s broadcast

What a thread! The forensic photo analysis to determine players heights has been amusing to say the least. 😂

 

7 months since this thread started and I still had never heard of this guy until I saw the thread!

  
I’m a legit 6’4” barefoot and my CH speed with driver is typically in the 109/110 neighborhood. I’ve read (think it was Golf Magazine) that for every additional inch in height, you can gain something like 1.3 yards. But the article also said it’s more difficult for a taller golfer to have a repeatable swing plane. Therefore theoretically you can hit it a little further, but will have a harder time hitting the sweet spot regularly. At least that’s what I took away from it! Haha

Sums up my golfing life, I'd well believe it. As a tall golfer, distance has never been an issue, consistency though...

[iBanesto]

Nienaber's swing looks easy and is short as well.

 

 

[mat562]

Similar in many respects to Nicolas Colsaerts' swing. Another man a with deceptively easy-looking swish who nonetheless gives the ball an almighty larrup.

You tall guys have a huge advantage when it comes to distance.  Longer limbs, more leverage.  Plus you guys have more time to generate speed on the downswing as well.  I'm jelly because I'm only 5'7, lol.

He shot 80 today and is in last place of those making the cut. No doubt he can hit the living daylights out of the ball. More to the game than that. Garrick Higgo hits the ball nearly as far as Wilco and is a much more accomplished professional golfer at this point in time.

Every golfer develops at a different rate. I like Higgo and Nienaber. It is great for South African golf.

 

Higgo didn't make the cut this week. But I do agree Higgo is far more accomplished at this stage.

 

No need to knock a 21 yr old down.

Presenting facts is not knocking someone down. Many people here have a huge blind spot when facts are presented regarding truths in golf. Pointing out a fact is not a criticism of somebody. So interesting how so many here can't tell the difference.  🙄🙄
