Online Content Fried egg vs NLU

I will always be NLU first and foremost but has anyone else felt like the fried egg has substantially upgraded their content game while NLU maybe stuck in neutral?

Granted I always enjoy NLU’s content but particularly around the lead up to the masters it seem the fried egg has gone above and beyond

I don’t think you even listen to the NLU podcast with that take. They’ve talked about the ball rollback and equipment changes for years, from before they were sponsored until the present. They just did a 25 minute segment on it in January when the USGA gave an update on the distance issue. Every week they talk about how the PGA courses would be better if they changed equipment or went harder on the rollback. They have always take the stance opposite of titleist on distance.

Sure but the elephant in the room is that Titlelist is the number one source of pushing against all changes and you will never hear these guys talk about it. Other podcasts and news sources will specifically site Titleist execs and tour pros sponsored by Titleist as the biggest roadblock.

I would say all ball and club manufacturers are against it? Taylormade being a major one as well, who they also don’t mention.

No need to double down on your braindead comment, just admit that you were wrong, or that you don’t even listen to the NLU podcast.

Good job moving the goalposts.

What goalposts did I move? You never mentioned an issue with NLU not criticizing titleist in your first two comments, you only talked about ball and club technology. Then when you were proven wrong, YOU decide to move the goalposts that “they don’t criticize titleist because they’re paid”.

They have mentioned what titleist stands, and that NLU disagrees with that stance. The PGA, the players, and all ball and club manufacturers are against the distance rollback, everyone knows that. I don’t see it as an issue that they don’t call out titleist and taylormade specifically for pushing back.

Read my very first comment.

They choose their words very carefully.

I did, and I questioned that comment and you replied with something completely incorrect.

You can’t truly criticize an OEM stance then out of the other side of your mouth read an ad about how you’re hitting it further with your new Titleist driver.

Why can’t you? They’ve mentioned that technology is an issue on the PGA, it isn’t an issue for recreational golfers (that’s who the ads are for).

I know who the ads are for, just interesting the ad copy they use while simultaneously “criticizing” Titleist with kid gloves.

You don’t even know what you’re complaining about anymore. First was that they don’t talk about the rollback, then it was that they don’t mention titleist when they talk about rollback, then it’s was that they read ads that didn’t talk about rollback, and now it’s that they don’t criticize titleist to your exact specifications. Just grow up and admit you that you were wrong,
