i think Tigers issues are more biomechanical than anything else

I never really thought it mattered much about how you take the club back or what not or pitch elbow this flying wedge that

He looks to be trying to force his golf swing on plane

Tiger needs to get his kinetic sequence in line.

A perfect link of the muscles acellerating and decellerating will put the club perfectly on plane and allow it to release with no wrist manipulation

at the he seems to have gotten better from his Harmon days where he was gunnin his arms first from the top then throwin his hips to catch up (note high right heel)...but now he doesn't seem to understand how to use his body to swing his arms

once this is set its just grip and Dplane IMOP
 
"Do any of you play well when the wife finds out you have been fooling around with 121 women, whether you over-rotate the left arm flying wedge or not?"
Don't y'all get it? Tiger doesn't give a flying wedge about his wife (or his kids for that matter). His problems are in his swing.
 
Brian,

Thought you might get a kick out of this:

From The Golf Channel's Website
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Tiger Woods may have found a remedy.

Pat Perez believes Woods found a fix for his ailing swing on the driving range that could turn him around this week at The Players Championship.

Perez played with Woods in a practice round Tuesday, the infamous nine holes in which Woods hit five balls into the water. After that round, Perez and Woods worked on their games at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course driving range.

“He hit a couple squirrelly shots on the course, but then he went to the back of the range and started working on getting his hands on the inside coming back [on the takeaway],” Perez said. “After that, he didn’t miss a shot for a half hour."


Woods looked a lot sharper playing nine holes again in Wednesday’s practice round, according to observers who followed him around. He got himself into trouble just once with a hook into the water off the 14th tee.

Perez said a simple fix with the takeaway might do wonders.

“Damn, after that, every shot was perfect, perfect,” Perez said. “If you saw what I saw, he’s right there

Perez said in their practice round together the day before, Woods looked like he was taking the club back too much on the outside, which made Woods feel like he was laid off at the top. That deceptive feeling affected Woods’ downswing.

“He gets under [on the downswing] and he gets stuck and goes right,” Perez said. “Or he comes under over and he hooks it.”

brandel chamblee just talked about tiger's golf swing and this sums up what he said

- when you have as much shoulder turn as tiger does, your club should NOT be laid off, he should be across the line.
- tiger needs to have his thumbs under the shaft
 
Things just got interesting...

This is absolutely hilarious. I hope he sticks with it.

The funny thing is Tiger had to know where his hand path was all this time and the fact that he was laid off at the top. It's what Haney teaches. So what made him change?

I deleted all the silly comments on this thread that were WAY off topic.

I'd like to thank all the guys for saying all those thing about Tiger and helping out my cause as an applicant for the job of Tiger's new teacher. :rolleyes:

Anyhoo, thank God for Pat Perez.

I really never cared who fixed Tiger, but for crying out loud, he needed to STOP that stupid, driver-yip-causing, time to look at the brim of the hat, Haney backswing!!!!

I just couldn't take it anymore.

Also, kudos for Johnny Miller calling out Haney. Geez, I heard the GC panel were slobbering all over themselves defending Haney.

Play good Tiger!
 
Yeah but Perez doesn't know is if the hand path goes in with no pop out, you can't achieve Haney's parallel lines in the backswing and it won't look very good on video, duh.
 
Of course they defended him, he has a show with them. Miller calls it like it is, the guy is pretty fearless, when Kostis criticized Tiger's swing, CBS had a fit because Tiger would not talk to them anymore. Most golfers lose their slumps by going back to what worked. Venturi broke out of a monster slump to win the open in 1964 by going back to notes he made from lessons with Byron Nelson from ten years previous. Brian, how much would Tiger's swing look like the 2000 version after you would get done with him? Secondly, would you strengthen his left hand grip at all?

If this is true, the hands may move more inside, but he'll still be laid-off:

If Sean Foley gets the job good for him. It would kind of make sense because he has ties with Nike. I met him back in 2002 at our CPGA National Assistants Championship. He ended up carrying my buddies bag on the weekend. Just fix Tiger!!
