you dont think he still takes violent lashes at the ball? i think he does, and the problem is that he doesnt make efficient contact. hes swinging just as hard, but not hitting the ball as hard.

Its true with many golfers. Tigers younger swing was explosive and violent. You cant keep that up forever. Perhaps he can go back to some of the positions he had when he was younger, but he is never going to swing like he was in the video at his age.

The guy's 34 and a top athlete. He could still swing like that. He may not want to - and right now I'd argue that he can't with the swing he's got - but he's capable.

I think he swings harder now...with many more moving peices and f'ed up positions at the top..it's really awful and the results show (not even talking about his scores...damn, some of his drives are downright funny). His old swing looked like a wider and smoother arc, he looked like a golf ball whacking machine.

i dont think that driver shot over the trees was pre haney. I think I remember that being in 2005 where he beat mickelson on the last hole at doral? or was it at the Honda or something.

That's definitely 2005 at Doral, the tee shot on #16, at about the 1:55 mark, and with Haney as coach. I think it was the 3rd round, not when he was paired with Phil in the 4th round.

Tiger's follow through used to be so natural. That's what strikes me whenever I watch a before and after. Also, Tiger may be 34 but he's a bulky 34, and less explosive than he should be at that age. Johnny Miller wrote a book 6 years ago in which he emphasized Tiger was older than his birth certificate implies in golfing terms, closer to 31 than 28.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
