There is a high chance that if there is a high-profile account, and it makes any tweet about golf, then it may be pounced upon by Phil Mickelson. Moreover, if anyone replies to Phil’s tweets with some salt, then he should be prepared to get a befitting reply. 

However, even though Phil Mickelson is not the most active golfer on Twitter, he doesn’t back off from speaking his heart out. If he is not playing, then there is a significant chance that he might land up on your timeline. And that’s what happened on Tuesday as Phil got involved in a feud on Twitter.

Phil Mickelson gets in a feud with a guy on Twitter

Recently, legendary golf instructor Peter Kostis made a tweet about swing training. He asked about the non-dominant swing training, where golfers practice the swing from their weaker side to improve normal swing. And approximately two hours after, this tweet caught Phil’s attention, and he replied. 

“Your body won’t accelerate faster than it can stop. Speeding up the opposite way strengthens the decelerating muscles in your normal swing. This will raise your body’s internal governor, allowing you to swing faster,” said Mickelson.

He continued further by giving an analogy. “A race car’s top speed has a lot to do with its breaking system (not its the ability to go fast in reverse) The human body’s ability to create speed is dependent on its ability to slow down and stop as well. Another way to think of it.”

However, here’s when the feud started. A third party entered the discussion and questioned Phil’s theory and scientific credentials. But Phil gave the evidence and named the studies that were conducted on this topic and said, “I tend to only spew facts.”

And the man replied that the biomechanics part might be true, but the race car thing was nonsense. To which the 51-year-old gave a befitting reply and ended this conversation. However, after all this, a well-known golf biomechanist came in and made a tweet. He explained the same thing and made his point. 

Meanwhile, it is still unclear what exactly we can learn from Phil’s explanation, but one thing is clear that Phil Mickelson is a supporter of the non-dominant swing training.
