On the Golf Channel, Tiger is being interviewed and he said that when he becomes healthy, he can finally begin to work on what he an Hank want to work on. He said they were trying to fix his "left leg snap", but he couldnt because he had no ACL and his leg had nothing to stop from fully straightening. So, when he can support his leg, and not snap it, it will mean an increase in accuracy, especially with the driver. Maybe a loss of distance, but he will be able to put it in the fairway more often.

Hmm, interesting.

That makes sense, and it's good to hear Tiger knows what he is going to correct (a la Ben Hogan). If Tiger can improve his consistency off the tee as a result, his play will become even more incredible.

Any link to the interview video or transcript?

He already uses the softest and least distance player ball out there. I do not think it matters to him if he loses 5 more yards.

It is great for fans, but most importantly it is great for golf. Sponsors need him there.

But I have to say golf has been just as exciting without him. I thought the last Major was a great show!

i agree with that. nothing against tiger, but i like seeing dogfights to the end.

not majors that tiger is 3 up heading into sunday and wins by 5 because everybody wilts. if he hits the ball straighter off the tee, he will win (even more) constantly.

with the dial back on grooves, it will be very beneficial for him to find more fairways anyway. i would have been interested to see Tiger not hurt and stick with his swing through 2010 and see how he handled not being able to play out of the rough as easily.

People like Sergio and Vijay might give have given him a run.

A straighter Tiger , he would dominate if he could hit 65/70% of fairways imo.


(proper domination of the tour, not just a 'convincing' domination, if that makes any sense)

I think Tiger's swing and strength is why he's so good out of the rough now, not the grooves.

very good point jlin.....i cant disagree. But i do feel the groove dial back will have some (though it may be minimal) effect on his style of play. grooves help it stop out of the rough....we will see more land and release type shots in a couple years

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
