Tiger's Finishes

[Comeback City]

I heard during the British Open or the Memorial that Tiger has 3 finishes in his follow through (may have been Faldo).

Does anyone know what they are and how that shapes a particular shot?

I understand a high finish means a high trajectory and actually tried it out - and it worked today

I was wondering if anyone knew what the other 2 were, how I can replicate them and what kind of shape or trajectory it produces. Thanks!

His other follow through swings are more on plane and around his body. The ball will bore more through the air on a lower trajectory.

Medium height and a lower one... with corresponding changes in ball height.

Doesn't he have different finish positions for draw and fade also?

For a fade, he holds off the release, holding the club high and not fully rotated. For a draw, the rotates more aggresively and finish lower, hands fully rotated.

thats what I was thinking of:

Thanks for that post Iwalk. Great info!

I was gonna say that too, you can always tell when he wants to hit a draw/fade because he imitates the release on his practice swings.

That draw/fade finish is quite interesting. I've never heard about that before. Might have to give it a go next time I'm at the range.

If you want to see an extreme fade/almost slice finish look at Jim Thorpes finish. I´ve seen Bernhard Langer doing this move too and thats what i was taught for hitting a slice (besides a tighter grip) - it basically happens naturally when you try to hold the clubface open.

He (Tiger) said that he finishes at waist-high for low shots, shoulder-high for medium shots (or stingers), and above his head for high shots.
