I prefer the 2000 swing. After that he started bobbing for apples too much.
BUT
He has always hit the ball into really bad spots. It was his amazing shots from the bad spots and HOT putting that kept him #1 in the world. The full swing is too big to 'own' because of the length of it and all the components that can be altered intentionally and unintentionally. He should have spent more time 'owning' his putting and chipping strokes.
While I'm talking putting I will also add that IMO he should pick a putter and trust it and auction that nike method for charity. How many great putters switch from round to round?

And there's the rub. What's out there now is not too worried either.
Is it me, or do his swings post-Butch look more "hooky"? And I'm not just talking about the ones posted here. It looks like he has to try so hard to close the clubface. He looks the way I feel when I'm trying to really hook one. His earlier swings didn't look like they were as much work to perform as the later versions.
