00:00But so often are so many players have come and seen you over the years, Chris,
00:04where you're constantly giving them advice.
00:07You're giving them lessons.
00:09Has there been a player, whether it was Tiger or someone else
00:13that has given you advice or you found that you learned something
00:17from that player that you've been able to kind of implement
00:21and how you coach players moving forward?
00:25I mean, I'd like to say everybody. Yeah.
00:30I mean, yeah, I mean, I mean, spending time with Bryson.
00:35You know, it's like five years or so was amazing.
00:37I mean, that was its own crazy kind of rabbit hole to go down with a person.
00:43You know, it's interesting with him because we did make this sort of
00:47we worked for two years, whereas more of like, you know, here's his sort of like,
00:52you know, how do you keep him in his personal sweet spot?
00:54And, you know, I think he won two or three times.
00:57And then during covid, he was like, man, I want to get more speed.
01:00So it became kind of like head time.
01:02This is like me. I work with him before us.
01:04I started working with him in 2018.
01:05And, you know, he had won.
01:07I don't remember exactly, but I know he'd won two playoff events.
01:10I remember. Yeah, exactly.
01:11It's like a Caves Valley. Right, exactly.
01:13And then and then covid happens.
01:16And he's like and we had talked before that were sort of like, OK,
01:20because I do a lot of stuff with like, say, you know, a stats person.
01:24And to me, it's always like, OK, where are the places that someone could,
01:29you know, find improvement, get edges type of thing in a realistic way?
01:33And how does it fit the overall ecosystem of their game?
01:36And, you know, we had started talking and, you know, he felt like hitting it farther
01:40was a place that he could get a lot better. Yeah.
01:43And because he was so straight to off the tee.
01:45So now you have some logarithm where if someone's already kind of like wayward,
01:49it's like you don't have logarithm for for games.
01:51I actually did a last year.
01:53I created this graph with Chris Brody, Mark Brody's son,
01:57and it was showing a person's strokes gain potential
02:01as they increase club at speed, given their anger dispersion off the face.
02:05And it's really kind of I thought it's fun to sort of like
02:08sort of make a prediction of like, OK, this person can truly get meaningful gain
02:13as they get more club at speed, whereas this person, it starts to plateau out
02:17and you just bring in too much other stuff.
02:19And then it's like not worth kind of the squeeze type of thing.
02:23But anyway, with Bryson, so, you know, we we kind of decided to do that.
02:28And and then during the whole lockdown, I built a lot like a lab
02:33at my house in Dallas, and he started working out a bunch
02:37and we started to make some swing changes.
02:38And I mean, that was such a rabbit hole.
02:40And I learned so much from that experience.
