People will try to analyze, and swings will change over time and adapt as a result of injury or gaps in practice. I was put off by the handheld motion like someone was using a cell phone to take a video of a video while standing in a canoe, maybe that's a way around youtube authorship or something.

As to Tiger, we will see how he does when he resumes playing.

I'm confused to how I recorded the video pertains to the analysis of Tiger Woods Driver swing and what you mean by swings will change over time as a result of injury or gaps in practice. While that may be true Tiger obviously was not just "rotating" in 2013 and now "sliding not rotating" in 2014

I think he was just saying he finds it hard to watch a video made by recording with a cell phone that's moving about.

I don't get how that makes golfers worse. I thought the analysis wasn't that bad. Different angle or not he is definitely a little shorter on back swing. His left arm is stiffer in the one on the right and his right arm is in different positions. Which is why you can see his right elbow on the left but not on the right. Then look at his left leg on the swing. That is definitely different. His left leg is bowed on his current swing, which I guess is why there appears to be more seperation and his left shoulder seems to be further back than the one on the right. Although the last part may be contributed some to the camera angle but I even doubt that if you pay attention to when he straightens his left left on both. On the right he straightens it much faster than the left which I am guessing is because he is hip sliding more on the left. Is he worse or better for it? I don't know. I wish I could golf like him and tell you. I guess we will see. I am no pro but I am interested in why you chose the thread topic though. How exactly does this make golfers worse?

I think the new swing has better lower body action in his rotation, and the camera angle is ****ed.  If they were in front of him it would looked like his club is parallel to the ground.  Its the golf illusion, when tiger has a pretty flat swing, yet people tend to bring their clubs vertical like polo jockeys because that's what they think a golf swing is.

Golf channel can be fox news sometimes.

    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
