dtl

club outside his hands on takeaway....more so than some of the swings he made at whistling straits...

club still layed off....maybe slightly less than firestone - but only slightly

front view

head not going back at all on backswing
head goes down and then slightly back on downswing - similar to before

he shot 65 - great round

still a ways to to get to 2000 look - if in fact that is even in the equation like we all assume

it looked pretty good to me.......

1997 across
2000 dtl
2007 layed off

i remember him hitting wedge at 17 at augusta in 2008 or 09 and just thinking that the layed offness was a ticking time bomb...he still played some great golf all the while, but maybe it could have been much better

I was just curious and trying to understand if you thought that was his best swing to date or just what everyone thought he was trying to get back too.

I think you are right he might have been better

I don't think that's the goal, unfortunately, with Foley. Tiger seems focused on keeping his head still. If someone was focused on the laid-off issue, I don't think his swing would look the way it has the last couple weeks.

Personally I thought the 2001 version was his best swing, he was on line at the top with a square clubface and a quieter lower body.

I think shoulder plane is a little steeper this week enabling him to keep the arms and club more in front of him. It looked REALLY good today

An old timers take on Tiger swing changes: When he was up and across the line, he had a strong bump (slide) with the left hip which all upright swings (Jack) have to do to drop the arms and club back on plane. When haney had him fanning it open to keep his one- plane parallel line, he STILL had the left hip slide which now put him WAY UNDER the plane, stuck, behind him whatever you want to call it. Take Kuchar now as a comp...very little slide, a lot of early rotation keeping him UP not under. Just my thoughs on it...the transitional move has to be compatible with the backswing plane.

I'd set him up with a bit more weight on his back foot so he can fire his hips forward. And I think his release is a bit late. He tries really hard on the follow through to turn it over but by then it's too late.

Why not just strengthen his left hand a little, to help with his late release?
