Too bad you can't pause on a browser. The angles are probably different and not sure of they are all the same clubs, but interesting nonetheless.

Maybe Nike can make a commercial with multiple versions of Woods's on the range.

Wow that '97 swings looks so violent in comparison.

Agree on the potential for a cool nike ad.

What I take from this is, he's aging. Compare the 1997 follow though to the 2013 one. He's much more upright at the finish now, at age 37, than he was at age 21. That's natural - there's no way he could continue that 1997 swing as he got into his 30s unless he wanted serious back problems. Now his finish is one that takes the strain off his back.

Yeah in the '97 and '00 swings, you can see how his left pant leg reacts to the force being put into that leg extending so fiercely.  Hurts just watching it.

The 2013 gif is Haney's swing, not Foley's (I think).

You're right. Fairly sure that is his approach shot on 18 in the playoff of the 2005 Masters. Surprised the person went to the effort to do all of that and made that simple mistake. Still pretty cool, though.

Thanks for merging my post into this one, I had a feeling it was a repost.

Has his finish changed to become higher or are those just shorter clubs he is using?  I mean shorter as in a 9 iron is shorter than a 5 iron, not necessarily by length (although the 9 would still be shorter..)

Was going to say - the '97 swing is insane!

How far does 97 hit it with todays technology wow that swing has some club head speed.  If I could have one of those swings above it would be 04  13 would come in 2nd.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
