Tiger Woods - Initial Hand Path - Historical Analysis

[Kevin Shields]

And another thing, anyone who thinks the proper body movements will just make a good hand path happen should stay where they belong, on obscure hate sites.

Geeeeeeeeeez.....

Kevin just means "more vertical".......next subject.

First off, the diagonal blue line is not very diagonal, it's extremely vertical.

If you went even further back in your historical analysis, you'd know the Tiger was always across the line with a little over the top move. All the high hands player ej20 just showed have the club hanging behind the hands, unlike Tiger ever did.

Good point.

IMO,unless you have very low hands at the top with a very flat left arm plane(which not many tour players do),then there must be some conscious downward movement of the hands even if that movement is not always straight down vertical.

Even Yani Tseng will have a more 'vertical' hand path than a 20 handicap player.

There is no shortage of great players that talk about this drop.The key is getting the right amount.You can overdo it but it's usually a good player fault.
