Paige's athleticism, displayed by great form and arm speed is the best this sport has ever seen. It's better than Juliana. I can't wait for the day we have 10 Paige's, but it may be a while. Paige may break Climo's record.

Maybe, but my point was there's more to it than just "learning to hyzerflip".And can't a similar comparison be made of any 975-rated player vs any 945-rated player?
Here's a comparison between Paige and Lisa:
Look how much better Paige is braced on the front hip compared to Lisa, who is not in a very athletic position and opening up the hips. Not being braced shows as that head turn you're talking about, she's losing a lot of distance and some accuracy there.

Oh for sure.....alot more. I'm not saying she would equal PP by just learning to hyzer flip, but I do think she could gain some easy distance by utilizing a better hf. Actually...I screen grabbed one of her drives, and at first she is lined up for a good hyzer pull through, but she suddenly raises her arm almost shoulder height, and then pulls downward through the release. I think...this is similar to V Jenkins??? I'm no form expert, but if she could pull through on that same hyzer line, I'd be curious what kind of distance/power she could get.
I'd probably be throwing 500' line drives no problem with Paige's form...
The question isn't whether Paige has peaked or not, she has. The question is how long will she stay at the peak and will anyone climb up there with her?

Even though it's not needed for her game, can Paige get to 500' with Paige's form? She seems to be throwing a lot farther this year than last.

^^^ I could be wrong, but I think it's about 490 from tee to pin.
I think the question is not whether or not Paige has peaked, but whether or not playing MPO would be more profitable.

Not a chance.
She has a legit opportunity to win every event she plays in FPO. She was what...3rd last year in earnings overall? Why would she give that up to be a middle of the pack MPO player who struggles just to cash.
Exactly. She won't pick MPO if there is an FPO. Also, she's tried out for the USDGC a few times. I think she made the Performance Flight( maybe? Maybe not?), but did not qualify for the open field.
Having said that, Catrina played in a few events where she was the only woman, so if there's an event with no FPO, Paige could see how she does in one of those...
No, she qualified for the premier event last year. She didn't finish well, but still qualified.
Thanks for the correction. It would be interesting to see a card with Paul McBeth, Ricky Wysocki, Nete Sexton, and Paige Pierce. Open and technical courses, and see how they do.
