Tiger's recently been working on...

[lia41985]

Nick Faldo was saying on TGC telecast of the 3rd round that Tiger's been working on less left arm rotation on the backswing. Guys, Brian said this is what Tiger should be working on. WOW.

No surprise to me.

How does he go about accomplishing this...? A weaker grip

He already has a weak grip, dosen't he?

Is Hank Haney lurking?

How many members here now - 5,000?? There are alot of pros who surf the net ( players and coaches ) ...

 

[Jim Kobylinski]

Um...i don't know about Brian but i have been saying this for at least a year.

Where's the dues!? LOL

 

[Tom Bartlett]

Almost 6,000 members...and you would be shocked to know who some of them are(most have been members for a while). News travels fast in small towns.

Simple, you just have to LEARN to not rotate the club so much. It would be really simple to be honest. You just go, "Tiger here's the butt end of the club. Here's the imaginary plane line. Keep the butt end of the club pointing at this line in your backswing."

He'd pick it up in about 10 swings or less and he'd be driving it a lot better imo.

something like "keep the clubface looking at the ball a bit longer" would work nicely.

 

[Chris Sturgess]

Tiger can accomplish this on his own, in his sleep. It was only a question of does he want to.

Jim, you have been as well. Sorry for not giving you much deserved props.

Ha, just giving you some poop. No biggie.

 

[lia41985]

Dude, he's putting like crap. And this has been going on for a while. What do you see as a remedy for that?

 

[Jim Kobylinski]

Don't know, Brian said he needs to go back to how he putted in 97 i think.

 

[lia41985]

Yeah--what does that mean?

 

[Brian Manzella]

The '97 and before stroke.

Yeah--what does that mean?

Tiger's old stroke had WAY LESS wrist movement.

Stance was a bit wider, too.

 

[lia41985]

Thanks for explaining Brian. I think Haney's really book on "putting on an arc" and "releasing the putterhead". The result would be more wrist movement. What's interesting is that he's making fewer important birdie putts but leads the tour in 3-putt avoidance.
