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).

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
