Here is a link to a golf.com article showing the evolution of Tigers swing over the years. Nice graphics.
In '95 I see a shoulder turn takeaway. An over rotation in the shoulders, allowing him to "get really wide" on the backswing but preventing the right elbow from bending. "Rock the Triangle" with no shortening of the right side. So as Homer predicted, under plane and no right side "Magic". Pivot to Hands, no tracing. Inside then cross line at End. Stopping at Top a Butch Harmon trait was also a beautiful band aid for this swing .........A perfect fit but not a fix.
Do you guys like the uber flat left wrist at End, in his current swing? It is correct to his grip type assuming it's uber weak. This article suggests he had a strong grip as a kid. Butch must have applied the Hogan's Secret grip change to Tiger at one point, maybe. What would Tigers swing be like with a 10-2-B grip and the more Laggy float loading, smoother transition it would allow. I think that the super flat left wrist inhibits lag loading, as it approaches the Trevino, Lehman, arch but thats another thread maybe. A slight bend in left wrist as long as its true to the plane of his left wrist grip type would give him a little more lag loading and flow Im thinking. He seems tight , wooden and fast in transition with a driver anyways. His irons are fantastic of course.
Still getting "stuck" going down too. Keeping his right foot on the ground addresses this maybe. If only he cleared his right hip and then employed a shift with a delayed turn in transition! Maybe Lynn should start whispering things in his ear.
"Clear the right hip" and then "clear the right hip, again" , "Rope Handle", "Float loading", "Sustain the Lag", "Plane of the left wrist cock and uncock", "Geometrically flat left wrist", "Slide with a delayed turn"..................Not that I am concerned about Tiger or anything.
Id give my front teeth to know what he did to improve his putting from what it was when he first came out to what it is now. But that is another thread for sure.
