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.

Dear Colin Montgomerie:

Think of it this way: Rory isn't trying to win three straight events, he's trying to win the PGA. And given how well he's played lately, he's got as good a chance to do that as anyone. To think that i

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.

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).

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 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
