I still think he needs alot of work he still missed putts yesterday that he should of made and still leaving his birdie putts 15 feet away which isnt't good when your not putting your best. But what you need to understand is the guy has looked pretty bad the last year and hasn't been able to shot in the 60's at all and he has shot in the 60's in his last two rounds so i guess i am just hopeing for the best cause i want and wish him well. But i guess time will tell he needs to play well in Bay Hill because it's a course he likes and has had great success at.

His putting stroke is a lot quicker now....I don't know if that si the cause but it is jerky compared to his old putting stroke.

I never got why he had to change the putter stroke along with the rest of his game. Tiger said it was all inter-related.

I don't understand why he changed his putting stroke and the arc on his chipping is really on the inside which delofts his club but i mean he isn't the first guy to change his swing and he won't be the last. Look at Paddy Harrington won two majors in one year and totally reconstructed his swing i never understood that. But they always feel they can get better so they always make changes it is such a big deal for Tiger because of who he is so every single thing is being critiqued. But one thing is there really isnt a right swing there is a million different ways to swing all that matters is that he is square at impact. He is a perfectionist so why we are eating dinner and Anthony Kim is hanging out with hie entourage Tiger is working to make it perfect.

He had the golden touch around the green and with a putter. I think when you join a cult though, they make you give up all your worldly possessions. Maybe Butch has to go to Florida and bust him out?!? Who's going to lead the deprogramming? Jack or Lee?

Please use proper punctuation. It's hard to read your posts.

ie.

He isn't the first guy to change his swing and he won't be the last. Look at Paddy Harrington; he won two majors in one year and totally reconstructed his swing and i never understood that. But they always feel they can get better, so they always make changes. It is such a big deal for Tiger because of who he is, so every single thing is being critiqued.

But one thing is true; there really isn't a right swing, there are a million different ways to swing.

All that matters is that he is square at impact. He is a perfectionist, so while we are eating dinner and Anthony Kim is hanging out with his entourage, Tiger is working to make it perfect.

I think you could say that he is turning the corner.  He is starting to look like the Tiger of old.  Im not convinced that he is back just yet, but I do think he is headed in the right direction.

You don't deloft the club if it returns square to impact. If the club is coming from the outside or inside doesn't matter much, it's the position of the hands at impact that dictate the amount of loft.

Also, I looked up some chipping and pitching from before Sean Foley on Youtube, he swung on the arc before too.

No I'm not AN English teacher. You don't need to be AN English teacher to realize how bad your grammar is

Anyway....the easiest thing for me to do is just block you so your posts don't show up, which I now have done.

Good for him. I think he plays better when he's gettin' some action.

    • Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.
    • Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top. 
    • Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.     
    • Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
