I'd sure like Tiger to be able to do that.  But as long as you swing right handed you're going to stress the L knee some, albeit some swings might stress it less than others.  Just how damaged the L Knee is and how much stress it can take, is the question and I doubt anyone knows the answer today.  But time will tell.

I saw a high-res copy of this photo on another board yesterday. Doesn't appear to be doctored.

this is a real pic but they cut off arjun atwal who was talking with them too. He has him for a coach. Im sure Hunter Mayhans driving stats last year had a role in Tigers decision to pick Foley as well

Tiger may have to wear a heavy brace to support the knee until he decides to go for the surgery to repair his MCL and any other damage he's done to his knee.  My knees are pretty beat up from years of playing football and racquetball.  I'm into long distance running now and they never bother me during or after a run, but if I spend too much time at the range, my right knee will get a little sore.

If looking to copy the swing of a player that makes it look completely effortless and stress-free, one needs to take a look at the move of Steve Elkington....just seems to me that Elk will be playing great, competitive golf late into his 50s with that swing.

just my humble opinion......

TW needs a head coach...and to start bangin HO's again....for real

dude was more than likely stressed about getting caught that he has to much time for golf!! LOL!

I dunno, not much of a stats or technical guy or even know much about the swing in general....so i can't comment on what hes doing right or wrong

and i bet most of us on here don't know on here either, other than repeating whats been heard on TGC or TV in general

I think Bubba is on to something tho

stop thinking about it so much and just play by feel

concentrating too much on stats and mechanics can make you forget about the task at hand

maybe im wrong...... ???? who knows.....

    • 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.
