Are you?

You've not even provided a video to back up your assertions.


lol I have no video. If you read my earlier posts, I stated from what I have read, but mainly from 2 instructors I took lessons with, was advised to limit the head dipping.

If you watch Rory, you will see the same dip.  Some players use this to generate power.  They push hard off the ground just before impact.  If you want in slow motion, you will see the head return to the setup position.

@nevets88 just posted this video in the link below.  Look at the drop in Rory's head.

And Garcia's. I see a big head drop in my own swing recently and it doesn't bother me.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Chance of Heavy Thunderstorms Friday has been bumped up to 100%. Last time I saw a weather forecast like that was at Bethpage Black during the first round (and we know how that turned out).

We need a new rule in golf broadcasting:  Anybody who picks Jim Furyk to win a major (happens every major) gets a horse whipping.

I guess you're an instructor.


I am not, but I have discussed this topic before. I'm not saying you should try to let your head dip or that it's not a potential problem for you, just that it may not be an issue for Tiger. It's not like everyone has to swing the same way.

    • Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.
    • Day 16 (17 May 24) - Plans to play a local course with a good friend fell through, got with my son to play Minnesott.  Turned out to be a great day of golf - as we were playing behind the Friday Men's group, pace was steady but not rushed or dreadfully slow.  Had a solid day of ball striking - managing 11 of 14 fairways hit, 8 GIR and 5 nGIR, 27 putts (including a hole out chip in from just off the green to save par with the 56deg wedge).  Shot a new personal best of 76 (39 front / 37 back) from the gold tees (just over 5,500 yds).   Was a good day and my son had a decent day for him as well with an 88.   
    • Day 312: Chipped for a bit indoors off my mat. Working on good contact and direction. 
    • Day 142: 5/17/24 Stack Full Speed Spectrum training session 13/24. Matched Wednesday’s speed. At lest I didn’t regress.
    • They can't dance either...😂
