Hardly. Tiger’s stats far exceed those of Nicklaus’ other than the ‘Majors.’ I put majors in quotes because several of Jack’s major wins were grossly weak in depth of field. Im sure you’re aware that major wins as the sole criteria was Jack’s idea only after he realized he wasn’t gonna be able to surpass Snead’s total wins. Which of course was Jack’s criteria originally. Jack also moved the goal posts by not counting Amateur championships after Tiger won three to Jack’s two. -

Hey everybody, new member here so I hope this is fine. My swing is starting to make me lose hope. I hit balls around 1 hour 5 days a week but lately I’m not seeing much progress, it feels like I’m just grinding my swing faults and/or trying new stupid drills and swing thoughts. The swing is “playable” in the sense that I have gotten my handicap down to 15 and I hardly ever slice the ball anymore and I’m very happy about that. What’s the problem, then? Hitting the ball makes a hard ugly sound. High flight path. Very short carry. I used to hit the 7i 140 yards (which is short!), but now it’s even worse, I’m down to 120. Inconsistent direction. I have twice lucked into a good 7i shot, 165 yards nice small draw, so I know that I’m physically able. Interestingly, I rotated the club ~20 degrees open at setup to get those. I’ve filmed my swing and it’s highly consistent: At impact, my hands are above the inside of my trailing leg. This also happens to be right over the ball, so no massive flip, but no “lag”. At P6, my hands are a hand-width outside my trailing leg, instead of above, and the shoulders are rotated clockwise. Maybe my hands are getting stuck behind my hip? My head tilts right at the beginning of the downswing, it’s sort of like I’m trying to use power from my head. This only happens on full swings. Unsure if this is relevant for these issues. One annoying thing is that I can almost hit as far with a 90 degree closed club face at address. Ie, setup with the club toe pointing at the target and take my normal grip. The majority of the hits have a nice “clicking” sound and go surprisingly far. Some hits catch me off guard in how little they feel and this twisty thing makes it very intuitive to get the hands "in front" of me. I’ve been trying to replicate the same feeling with a neutral club face, but have failed so far. Thanks for reading all of that, I hope there’s hope for me but I feel my swing very easily reverts to what I’m doing, like a magnet. -
