Sorry if you've all seen this..just saw it today..can't believe how still his head is on the back swing!

His head is pretty still on the downswing, too, and yet we rarely see this swing on the PGA Tour. Tiger has a massive head dip through the ball (on his downswing) most of the time he's on TV playing in a PGA Tour event.

The less he dips his head, the more controlled, balanced, and smooth his swing looks, and the more likely it is that he finds the fairway. From what I've seen and can remember, anyway...

IN-CREDI-BLE!!

To me it's not just that his head is so still, it's that nothing is moving laterally. Hips. Shoulders. Everything just turns. And even the hips don't turn as much as I would have thought.

I haven't seen anything that perfect since someone e-mailed me nekkid pictures of his wife.

I have to agree that the swing shown there does look great(better than great really, more like perfect), but it doesn't really look like his regular swing we see week to week, which to me is much more violent and agressive. Not to say that his regular swing is not a good swing or that it is somehow less efficient; it is just not the same.

Still that is a great video of the best golfer in the world.

His posture is unmatched. Look at how perfect his stance is on the finish of the swing. His right thigh remains perfectly parallel to his left all the way through impact and follow through.

It is funny that this swing hits 54.3% of fairways (178th on tour) and Jim Furyk hits 73.7% (5th on tour).
