Tiger is wild with the driver. He is changing his driver all the time and the results are the same. I watched him at the Open and he was hitting a lot of 3 woods . Is it his swing that is the problem or his equipment? Also I heard a rumour that he is no longer working with Butch Harmon. Is this true ?

His swing.

Unless this happened very recently, he's said that he hasn't stopped working with Butch, just not as much.

Tiger has a FADE backswing and he tries to hit a lot of draws....NG

The equipment companies have NO IDEA how to club-fit. NONE

Butch is CLUELESS...

Isn't Toms' backswing a bit more up and out than usual? Does he try to hit fades?

YES!


That's his shot.

Go Back and look at Tiger's pre-Butch changes swing.

PERFECT backswing.

In what way is it a fade backswing? It looks to me that his first move is to lift the club above the shaft plane in an out and up move.

In a perfect world, the shaft would be parallel with the target line when the shaft is parallel with the ground...on plane.

Of course he doesn't work with Butch as much as he used to. They have both been quoted on this subject. They've had a working relationship for years. But surprise surprise, Butch has been telling him the same thing for years and years. Happens to a lot of people doesn't it

I think Tiger already knows what Butch will tell him. He knows just as much about his own swing as Butch, if not more.

The motion or bottom swing of Tiger's is better! Of course he is in a slump (shot 19 under and finished 2nd while missing a number of putts). Also, through 16 holes, he had hit every fairway. Try that at 300+ yards.

That "carrying motion" is the best way to hit a fade.

What is his "carrying motion."? and not 3 dimensional enough are you referring to his up, back, and in on the back swing or down, out, and forward on the downswing? If so at what point in his swing is he lacking the particular dimension.
