Oh, the heel with it,,,,Go Tiger Woods!
If this has been covered, apologies in advance...
As Tiger continues the revamping of his swing, one of the areas of focus happens to be his footwork. With his quest to Tigerize his swing, to own it as Hogan historians feel Hogan accomplished, Tiger and his coach are borrowing/emualting Hogan's footwork.
If we were to dig up some old photos of Tiger giving it a rip, I think we'll see not only his right heel up, but also his left heel is up somehwere near, at, or through the impact zone as well. The dude was giving it all she's got with the maximum assist from the ground forces. Did this help him? Well, the scorecard doesn't ask how, but it's all about how many, and that translated into a bunch of wins. Obviously, it worked.
But, the perfectionist that Tiger is, and maybe as a result of a knee injury, the search remains to better his swing. One area that he is working on is keeping his left foot down, especially the heel, through the impact area. The right heel lifts, but it's with the right heel leading the toes through impact. Bottom line, with his new swing, not only does Tiger want to bomb it, he wants more accuracy. I am not certain the stats reveal more consistency, but the intent is this component change in mechanics and feel will get him to be more long and straight while pursuing the tigerized Tiger.
personally, I 've tried to keep the right heel down, and it hurts. Maybe I've exaggerated it, but
Different strokes for different folks...

calling on doctor Vinny Boombatz...!!!
Without a medical journal and very little experience in human anatomy, it is in the right groin area, adductor straining????
When I concentrate on keeping the entire right foot down thru impact, I can feel the irritation, a pulling sensation in the area where I attempted to describe. This may be a result of an exaggerated holding position, my body makeup, improper technique. An imbalance in tilt to turn and right foot position?

No kiddin'?
Obviously.
The point I was making, has been long ago lost.
Maybe I should wrap this one up by saying...
In 100 lessons, I might ask one golfer to try to keep his right foot down, but in 50 of them, I work on the things that CAUSE the CORRECT right foot movement for that golfer.
Next!
