This is a master piece of explaining and communicating numerous, wonderful fundamentals of the golf swing displayed by Tiger Woods. Tiger is the master player and hall of fame teacher , Bob Toski is one of the greatest communicators of the golf swing we have all been fortunate to be a part of!!!!!
This swing fit his body type so much better. Each legendary player has their own swing, but Tiger is best yet he's built a Hogan swing instead of his own unique swing. I'm not dissing him, he changes his swing to prevent getting burnt out but I think he'd have Jacks record if he'd stayed with Butch and stuck with the steel shafted short driver he hit 375 yards....
Now, I've never ever played golf. But when I look at other peoples swings, Tiger clearly gets barely any hip turn. It's all in his powerful arms and hands and I think over the years it may have had a detrimental effect on his physical conditioning. Driving has become an even bigger problem than it was and it just seems wild and raw. It's incredible to watch, but I always thought maybe he could adjust his swing a bit. I know very little though, obviously. Best player, not the best swing, though..
@Christoffski well, you said it right..you know very little about golf, and yes it's obvious..n you obviously don't kno much about him because you would know that Tiger uses his lower body to generate probably over half of his power...WHY DO YOU THINK HE HAS HAD SO MANY KNEE SURGERYS!!! Please get your information correct, n don't try to correct or 'suggest' something that the number 1 golfer in the world needs to do with his swing.
@ImmortalSyndicate Excuse me, but if you watch Tiger's swing compared to others there is much less hip turn and more emphasis on the arms and wrists. The fact he's had knee surgery has nothing to do with how much hip turn he gets. Please, if you're going to flame me, read my comment in full. Thanks.
@Christoffski I did read you whole comment. The fact that he has had multiple knee operations have everything to do with it. You said he uses his powerful arms and hands, which isnt true. He doesnt move his hips much, because he coils. Most amateur and other professionals move their hips more because they aren't as flexible. Watch his legs when he swings. When he gets to the top of his backswing, he squats a little and then turns very hard on to his left side. I wasn't trying to 'flame' you
Actually, Tiger's swing is only about 120-125 mph right now. Before he made his swing changes, he used to swing full power which is why he was at 130 mph. But after the swing changes, he sacrificed a tiny bit of power for more control, which is why he is dominating now.
i agree with the drop in swing speed for control, it's the exact same thing my coach has done with me and the results speak for themselves, 290-300yd drive 20% of the time in the fairway down to 250-260yd drive 80% in the fairway
Honestly speaking, Tiger's old swing may have been cool, but ultimately it would have shortened his playing career if he kept it up. Ridiculous amount of flexibility for a golfer!
bob toski's commentary is idiotic. Tiger woods swing is unearthly. However, unless you have the same height, weight, muscles and natural swing of the guy, dont try to mimic every inch of the swing. You need to work out a swing that works for you based on your body and abilities..
whew...I wonder if Tiger thinks about all that during that swing. I think if he watched this video he would over analyze everything. I'm sure its just a feel for him by now.
I love how tiger made the change to Haney from Harmon. Tiger got alot of crap that was not deserved during the time of his switch. He made major changes in his swing during the switch. Tiger lowered his hands at the top and still maintans and closed wrist and also keeps his lower body more centerd and still. He still is perfectly parallel and level at setup.His newer swing witch is not showed here is much improved, His switched to more of a rotary or"oneplane".
Beautifully balanced and athletic but let's be honest, Tiger was ripping at the ball like a long drive hitter in those days
