What the heck was Tiger doing here?

This was from some time in 2002...

Is this his version of basically a one plane--turned shoulder plane--swing? (EDIT: Jim correctly points out that Tiger is REVERSE SHIFTING.) Almost looks like David Toms. I thought Tiger was a reverse shifter with Butch and has since gone to a double-shift (pseudo, whatever, parallel plane) pattern with Haney.

Why would you ever change anything in that swing?

Brian, can you chime in here?

i'll tell you one thing, that's one swing sequence of tiger where he's not swinging so far right for once LOL

Jim, I like it, and I do something similar on my driving. I'll talk more about it in another thread.

Reverse Shift. Yellow = TSP, blue = elbow. The lines are all drawn on the exact same angle. Click for a larger image.

Jim, thanks for the BEAUTIFUL illustration and quick responses!

You know what I think is the best part of Tiger's swing.

His takeaway.

If that was all anyone ever learned by watching him, more people would swing better. And I'm not a big takeaway guru. His is just so perfectly synchronized and on plane.
