Prediction: The launch monitor as a product is dead in 10 years.
You won’t buy one.
You’ll already have one.
• Phone
• Watch
• Range
• Club
• Ball (eventually)
Cameras + AI replace the box.
$5K–$25K units become the DSLR of golf.
AI will replace raw data with answers.
Right now:
“Ball speed: 152. Spin: 2800. Launch: 13°”
Future:
“You’re losing 11 yards because your face is 2° open relative to the path. Here is how you fix it.”
Agree or not?
@kclairerogers 1) Take advantage of the ability to ship the merchandise you buy directly from the site instead of carrying it around. 2) If you're there for a practice round, take your camera. 3) If you don't normally walk a lot, start getting some steps in now.
The US gov seems to have changed its mind about the terms of the use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve:
Earlier this week, it announced a **SPR release** (an outright sale, and the method used in the emergency actions of 1991, 2005, 2011 and 2022)
But now, the DOE has published details for something different: a **SPR exchange** (effectively, an oil loan, with the barrels returned later with interest)
Crude oil production in the Permian may or may not have peaked — that’s TBD. What we do know is that even if oil output flatlines, the shale play will generate increasing volumes of natural gas and virtually all of it will need to be piped to other markets, primarily the Gulf Coast. To keep pace, WhiteWater Midstream has announced plans, through its Matterhorn joint venture, for yet another mountain-themed, Permian-to-Gulf gas conduit. In today’s blog, we discuss WhiteWater’s new Eiger Express Pipeline. Crude oil production in the Permian may or may not have peaked — that’s TBD.

While progress on many projects has slowed, Tallgrass’s plan to convert its Trailblazer pipeline from natural gas service to CO2 has had a comparatively smooth ride. Find out why in my latest piece for @RBNEnergy.

Don't miss @MadMoneyOnCNBC TONIGHT at 5PM Central Time. RBN's Founder & Executive Chairman, @RustyBraziel will be joining @jimcramer to discuss the current state of energy markets.
Tariffs have served as a cornerstone of President Trump’s economic vision. In the campaign, he said he could impose tariffs as high as 25% on all imported goods from Canada and could deliver on that promise at any time. This has raised concerns, especially for Canadian producers and U.S. refiners, who depend on the efficient and economical movement of barrels between them. In today’s RBN blog, we look at how tariffs could impact Canadian producers and U.S. refiners. https://t.co/0Two5ym4hK
Many of this year’s most popular RBN blogs gravitated toward familiar energy market themes like rising exports, shifts in oil production, weak natural gas prices and surprising NGL pricing dynamics. However, we also noted a significant uptick in interest in topics like hydrogen, carbon capture and sequestration, electric vehicles and even the role of AI and data centers. In today’s blog, we look back at the Top 10 blogs of 2024 and discuss what they reveal about today’s energy industry. https://t.co/u4A1IweiRg
All sorts of quirks that make Houston traffic worse. Dark. Rain. Rain when it hasn't rained in a while. Schools back in session after being off for a while. Sun. Yes I remember the Epic Sun Storm. Too sunny on an east west road like I-10, parts of the loop is the worst. Randoms
Oxygen-containing gasoline additives called oxygenates, including ethanol, have provided an octane boost to the U.S. gasoline pool since 2000. This has allowed refineries to increase their gasoline production capacity and efficiency. A new approach to gasoline formulation promises to exploit the unique octane-enhancing qualities of ethanol, although there are challenges to wider implementation. In today’s RBN blog, we explain what’s behind the concept of “hydrogen-rich” gasoline. https://t.co/ELHfkiZdHe
