Bryson says Cobra Drivers suck, Cobra compares Bryson to Temper Tantrum throwing 8 year old

[vman]

I'm sure Bryson has tried another driver that gives him closer to what he is looking for and he wants Cobra to make him something similar, or, he wants out and to be a free agent.

Can't control his shots out of the rough... hmm... I wonder why? Distance isn't the be end and end all.

 

Loved how he used the example when he is in the fairway he can hit a good shot.

DeChumpbeau has an unfair advantage on being able to win the PGA Tour bonus  Meltwater Mentions category for just being Bryson.😫

To be fair, it is not the greatest Tour Staff I’ve seen…

 

 

The PGA Tour’s PIP is an attempt to grow the game.

 

Cobra is also trying to grow the game, and Blair is there to help them “get a grip.”

 

Apparently Arnie was “The King” on, and off, the golf course. It is best said, the difference between him and Tiger was: Arnie slept with the club presidents’ wife, while Tiger was banging strippers. Arnie’s brand won’t tolerate information as such, in print, but it’s true. Arnie was a sex symbol and playboy, flying around his own jet. Yet, Tiger was ostracized by many for years (still is). 

 

We all know what sells, and in 2021, social media is just a conduit for all of it: sensationalism and sex. The only difference between today and 50 years ago, is how the information is disseminated. Nothing else has changed. It’s all a show. Much better than what Hollywood produces though!~ Best game, ever, hands down….

Amateur hour with these two. Bryson acts like a jerk and Koepa is a jerk. Next.

[BlackDiamondPar5]

Do you like paying for all the R&D so freaks won't break drivers? Maybe not breaking a club should be a skill of the game.

Cmon man. Did Jordan ever say his Nikes sucked after stinking it up on court?

Zion Williamson would've been justified when his sneaker tried to turn itself into a flip flop a couple years ago.

No need. Everyone already knows that. 🤑

It may be the case that his 2020 US Open performance was an aberration.

 

Players like McIlroy got overly influenced with distance gain by that performance.

He is an entitled spoiled narcissistic b*tch. Excuse my language as I know that that language sounds more like Richard(I've been hanging around him too much😂), but I'm so sick of his childish petulance & pettiness. I know from my own experiences with my OEM's, along with OEMs that I've never bagged their clubs, and in the grand scheme of the professional world, I am a nobody, but my OEM's will bend over backwards, including getting me shafts which they do not even offer on the tour van, if I were to ask them for them. The guys/gals back at the center(R&D) will work with me in customizing a current head if so desired. They are unbelievably cooperative and amenable in helping me and all of the other staffers in putting the best clubs possible into our bags. The are very bright, diligent hard working individuals who take great pride in their work and the clubs that they produce and for someone like Dechambeau, they would do whatever he asked and whatever was humanly possible, and if he had a problem with his driver, he should have taken his issues to them and approached them like a man, not do the circa 2020 social media blast like some diva b*tch.

 

For him to publicly chastise and insult those guy/gals and Cobra is a disgrace and I'm sorry, there is NO golfer worth that, especially this child. I have not had a single student(80% of my students are children) speak of, ask about or want to swing or "be like Bryson," haha.  I could walk into any pro shop in this country, grab any driver off the rack, and walk out and put a ball in the middle of the fairway. I realize that my distance may suffer, my direction may be negatively affected and my spin numbers and flight most likely will not be optimal, and no, I would not play that driver, but my point is that as a pro, we are expected to have a swing of the appropriate level that yes, the club is important, however the tail is not supposed to wag the dog!! Bryson makes the club. The club does not make Bryson. At least that's how it should be, though obviously not. Let's also not forget that the driver in his bag he hit ad nauseam as his OCD would allow nothing less, and at some point, he looked at all involved and said something along the lines of, "yep, this is the one👍." Now, it is not the one?? Now it sucks???

 

He's a pro for chrissakes, and one of THE finest pros on earth, and to blame a club for his inability to put a ball in the middle of the fairway is just pathetic, and to publicly ridicule his OEM is even worse. And yes, our club carries Cobra🐍 and their staff is a joy to work with!! Ok, rant over, haha. Take care guys 🙂 Madison

…he was talking about Brooks, not Bryson.

you think Bryson’s performance would suffer if he got fitted and used to taylormade, callaway, titleist, etc. equipment??

 

you think he’s gaining an advantage by playing Cobra?

 

yes he’s getting paid. 

 

But my point was, playing Cobra isn’t actually helping his game.

 

if he could get out of his contract, he could go out on the open market and lose nothing.

 

he might even benefit from a switch.

 

but who is Cobra going to replace Bryson with?

 

The guy is frankly a goldmine. He wins tournaments and blankets the headlines. Every OEM would beg to sign him. 
 

none of the major OEM’s are that superior to any other. It’s the players that sell everything and drive the entire market. 

LMAO

 

Let's assume Bryson makes $10M/year on his Puma/Cobra endorsement.

Let's assume an OEM makes $250 per driver head, $400 on a set of irons, $75 for shoes, $40 for a shirt....that's a lot of volume to breakeven at $10M.

 

Go to any PGA SS or other major retailer and ask any sales rep how many customers come in and say...I want that 5* driver head, SL irons, shoes and shirt Bryson is playing or wearing.....I doubt there would be many customers saying this.

 

I doubt any OEM wants an unprofessional, immature clown on their PGA tour staff portfolio that could/would potentially slam their company.

 

Many employees have been fired for derogatory public comments on social media about the company they used to be employed at.

[deadsolid...shank]

At this point, after reading the entire thread, I don’t really care about the Cobra issue. I just want to know if he has a degree!

It’s probably not helping him but he also isn’t going to get the same amount of attention from Callaway, Titleist, Ping or TM to meet all of his quirky equipment needs 

[Nixhex524]

I have been trying to give Bryson a chance... his work ethic alone is impressive.  BUT... this time, he crossed the line.  If he is willing to meltdown like this and lash out at his sponsor, nothing is off limits.  I cant see why ANY other OEM would pick him up after this.  Cobra equipment is fantastic but how many people WON'T play it just because they wouldn't want to be associated with that relationship?  It has to hurt the brand and while he apologized, it just isn't enough to fix it.  If I am Cobra, I am dropping this fool asap and looking for some other Tour pros to build on.  

 

Can't see having this guy on the Ryder Cup team either... The US team constantly has this problem of poor attitudes and who they might get paired up with or what drama might ensue.  The priorities are all wrong.  I say, don't let this guy play on the team.  Stop feeding the animals.

[Les Strokes]

Is anyone really surprised? DeShampoo has been caught on tape multiple times acting like the entitled  jerk he truly is, from the caddie thrashing at the Masters when he first came out on tour where he drove it wildly left at 18 and blamed the caddie, to his behaviour at the 2016 US Open, to berating the cameraman about harming his "brand", etc. Feherty even brought some of this  up in his softball interview with the Big Baby. And his name is Bryson James Aldrich DeChambeau, yet on his yardage book cover he has "B.A.D" ? What a phoney. He behaves like a child, a very insecure child. Perhaps he can change and grow up but that would require something he's incapable of - being self-critical. 

[RobotDoctor]

Bryson's lust for more distance off the tee, and in general has taken a toll on his game.  If he dials the distance back to two or three years ago performance I would bet he hits more fairways and performs better.  At this rate he's better off competing against his distance mentor, Kyle Berkshire, at long drive competitions instead of playing top caliber tour golf.

Maybe.  He did win the US Open with his approach and most folks said that was impossible.  He is trying to dominate the game by hitting it longer then anyone else.  What he is trying to do might be impossible but if he pulls it off...

Agreed.  Being accurate with a 5 degree driver is such a small margin for error.  Then again, Bryson is a US Amateur and US Open winner as well as a few other PGA Tour events.  That's says a lot more than I can ever be.  More power to DeChambeau.

Using that Google thing you referenced, I found 3 sources that all say he earned his degree??? What’s the real deal?

From Wikipedia

 

DeChambeau was unable to defend his NCAA title in 2016 after the SMU athletic department was handed a postseason ban by the NCAA.^[9]He decided to forgo his senior season to play in a number of events before turning professional

 

Never finished his senior year at college

I've been seeing a new ad he's doing for a Bridgestone ball with a fairly dumb premise that its cover has grip like a Bridgestone performance tire. That would make his spin rate even higher and he wouldn't want that.

Nonsense. Just say you were mistaken and own up to it. It's easy to make mistakes when so much of the Internet is filled with mistakes.

 

People make mistakes all the time. I have, and I've admitted when I made a mistake or hadn't read something fully.

 

The truth is the damn truth. Bryson does not have a degree.

 

Here, I'll say it again: I don't care that the dropped out. I care that you yahoos are saying he has a degree in physics.

 

What's wrong with you people? Have you been drinking?

Jesus Christ, I thought that these guys knew what they were talking about when they said that he had a degree😂😂

 

I should've know better than to trust them and not verify it as fact myself, lolol

 

I am a f*ckin yahoo for not verifying it myself😜🤪

 

When I state something, I've checked and verified it to the point that I'm totally and 💯% confident in it's validity and correctness.

 

Am I ever wrong?

 

Yea, though very rarely

 

However yesterday was one of those rare times when I stated that Tiger's only mental coach was his Father, Earl.
 

That was incorrect!!

 

Jay Brunza, PhD, who also doubled as Tiger's caddie when he won 2 of his 3 USGA Boys' Amateur Titles and all 3 of his USGA Mens' Amateur Titles. Brunza was also on the bag in Tiger's 1 US Open and 2 Masters appearances as an Amateur. 

 

Many thanks to @tacklingdummy for assisting me in extracting from head from my *ss and classily pointing out the error of my statement😊

 

Hey, I'm human😉

 

Stay Well Brotha👊
