Eye of the Tiger Woods - Driver

[Maochael]

I bet he wore that hat to make a few videos uknowwhatimean?

[Moraud5386]

no need to watch the target, it's in

[jcking33]

Nice one! this would be a great help!

[somelikeitsnotty]

what is so funny about looking up at the target?

[Homer1234565]

@somelikeitsnotty you can't see the target with the camera but he can see it. so they find that somehow funny...because we don't see the target

[DonLduk]

this video helped with the question I had : "what happens with the right knee? " I was moving it "back", rotating it with the hip. I see you are supposed to hold it still, flxed.

[PUArtista]

actually very useful for setup...turds

[FerrarisRock]

i find my head turns behind the ball, is that a good way to increase power?

[sandersuperfollador]

thats a 975 J driver because the top of the clubhead isn`t black

[pancakeshitta]

i tried this swing at the driving range and EVERY single shot was perfect

[pancakeshitta]

it looks like his feet are facing so that hes gna hook it

[MrChubbleyWarner]

does this help us???

[treelo74]

stack and tilt fails to get the shoulders behind the hips in the backswing. it is essential for hitting solid consistent shots. the hips are left of the shoulders at setup. the hips push the shoulders to the right in the backswing. this ensures the hips to pass the ball before the shoulders in the downswing automatically.

[kamalmc]

Ok, now do it.

[treelo74]

little more knowledge on youtube??

lateral head movement in the modern golf swing happens because the rightside is pulling the leftside over itself in the backswing.. the hips rotate within and up against the inside of the feet. the up against requires a slight lateral movement in the backswing, and gets you back to the middle in the downswing automatically.

[SmallDannyJW]

At the time this video was made Tiger never used a 5 wood. He only put his 5 wood in the bag over the last few years. This video is of either a 3 wood or driver, I would almost certainly say driver.

[DobsQc]

Since is playing on the front foot, driver

[FillaFan]

Honest, pretty unnecessary if you'd like to improve your swing.

[dkashmir]

even though i dont know what club that is, i know that tiger uses either a 5 wood or a 2 iron depending on the round

[sportsman214]

wow u must be new to golf.

depending on course conditions is whether or not he puts in a 2 iron or not.

and its his old titleist driver

[UNCGolfer2009]

He only uses the 2 iron in the British Open, he even took the 2 iron out the second day of the British, which may be why he had problems putting it in play. He mainly uses his 5 wood these days, he says he carries the 5 wood 265 and the 2 iron 235 on a good day, which is why he made the switch.

[a0p0h0]

good call these people are morons

its his old driver!!! cant u tell by lookin at him thats not him recently?

[TiGeRiZNuMbeR1]

nah not a 5 wood back then he only used a 3 wood and a 2 iron no 5 wood

[Sprinklesofjoy]

:D he's using a steel shafted driver :D

[Zoltrix89]

It's not a driver . . .

It's a Wood :s

[sooner282002]

driver is a wood

[sk8erplayer42]

thats a 5 wood dumb shit.

[PingGolfer95]

Then why is the title Eye of the Tiger Woods - Driver

[SirCokerThe9th]

Ya'll are fuckin stupid....Zoltrix is right...It's a 3 wood.

[PandaDawg]

It isn't very nice to blatantly claim people are stupid when you are wrong. This is before Tiger's Nike clubs days. He's playing the Titleist 975D Driver. (Yes I see he's wearing a Nike hat, he had Nike as a clothing sponsor, before helping Nike design golf clubs.)

[UNCGolfer2009]

It was actually the 975J driver he was using. And this was before they redesigned a driver for him to use, and by redesign I mean take a mold of his titleist and slap a Nike logo on the bottom. I think this was the 00 PGA so yeah this was when he had the Nike Irons, but three wood was the 975 F that he used until '05 and the 975 J driver.

[ColouredConfessional]

@UNCGolfer2009 You couldnt be more wrong, about everything LOL!

975D Driver

2000 Williams Sherwood Challenge

He played Titleist Irons

And his 3wood was the Titleist 970

Sorry

[MFBueno63]

ur the dumb one....this is Tiger's old 975d DRIVER.....

[slagbuster75]

If u really want to learn something.Watch his right knee as he comes into impact.Thats the most useful thing about this video.

[patrick31031976]

Great video

[marthsheikbaby]

thats the tee, u dumb fucker

[masterfritz69]

anyone noticed that he didnt hit the ball properly? ^^ it flys like 1m, check 00:29 xD

[scottwright87]

thats the tee im assuming

[BuellersIt]

Dumbest comment ever.........the ball is alrady 100+ yards in the air as u watch that TEE go a couple yards.

[Yourself84]

coll camera vision, one question guys: can somebody who is capable say how my swing is? look at my video i have uploaded. im happy about any serious response.thx

[kamalmc]

I can say without even looking it. If the ball goes straight and long, it's a good swing.

[bumblesbounce54321]

no...

[madakusy]

the club head looks a bit small for a driver tho

[sportsman214]

yeah this is awhile ago when he was using a titleist driver.

[shawakwak]

It's the old Titleist 975D 275 CC I think. With a steel shaft and he still flew it 290. Yeesh

[bumblesbounce54321]

in the Pumpkin Ridge amateur tournament he flew it 325! i was speechless. oh, and he was 19 when he did it.

[beaumanton]

Great video mate, cheers. A really unique perspective of the best swing in golf. Us hacks should really pay attention to this and try to copy.

[silgneb]

he prolly changed a lil something every great withing themselves does something that no one can see but that themselves can

[Leenumber4]

I definately agree with you, just like how you might do math or the way you spell words. Sometimes its only yourself that sees something in an action as someone else might see something diffrent.

[BR1GoaBrookln]

so what your saying is .... she sells sea shells down by the sea shore?

[whitear12345]

o my days sure thats his driver looks tiny like a 3 wood or sumin ?

[brettisrock]

hahaha dj your a dumby hahahaha wow.

[Timarthy]

thats his tee u noob!!

[djdonkdoyler]

lol...tiger actually tops the ball between 27-29 secs hahaha

[justthatchapLC]

wt? no he dusnt

[mitch7868]

thats the tee u idiot, people are stpid

[Golferboy73]

STUPID. Thats the Tee. He probly hit is 320 with a little draw

[golfpro020591]

even if he were to top it... with his skill and his strength i think he would be able to hit it further than just a couple of yards

[bumblesbounce54321]

thats the TEE

[TKX4834]

yall are dumbasses, yes closing your stance promotes a hook. also, a lot of the guys on tour have the same sequencing and thats what makes their swings so repeatable. even though tiger is the best player he is not the only one with a good swing. also, he hasn't shortened his driver swing at all, he tries to hit it as far now as he ever did. dumbasses, don't know anything bout the game

[GoonerAlias]

I never realised just how much his head moved, untill watching this, I changed my swing because of it and it's given me at least ten extra yards.

[sportsman214]

steady head is good, but u gotta realize his eyes dont see this, b/c his head can turn and his eyes stay on the ball.

[tiger1992]

Tiger has a great swing. But he has shorted it so he can gain more control but less far and closes his stance cause he sometimes gets a hook.

look at the feets "smarthead" he turns the feet to the right "upwards" and therfore closes it

[ColtonTurtle]

DUMBASS!!! closing your stance promotes a hook

[tiger1992]

Well, you got a point with that... but THAT WAS WHAT I SAID... But it proably didnt come clear

[treelo74]

tiger's shoulders come before, and control his arms.

[treelo74]

everyone on tour creates leverage for exact power. leverage is achieved by applying force against the ground. this leverage should drag the clubface away (not the hands). every body part from the ground up should be controlled through this leverage in order (like a whip's sequence). reaction to the action that has come before it. the reason why tiger looks different compared to almost everyone else on tour is a matter of sequence. his right shoulder is pulling (controlling) his right arm.

[jengolf]

oh my lord, treelo74. That's it. I quit golf, starting now.

[phatboyslim04]

is it me or is tigers stance really quite open?

[Bianalveiro161]

im struggling with my current swing here now, i hooked it up all the time, i dunno how to fix it.

Before it was perfect, everything was perfect, i lost practice after that, and when i played again on the field everything was just horrible.

i can barely make it to the green on 2.

[treelo74]

lowerbody leads the way on the downswing, right?

the only way to do this, is to wind it up 1st in the backswing. if the upperbody winds up 1st and the lowerbody follows, physics state that the upperbody will lead the downswing. if the sequence is correct (lower leads upper back and forth), the unwinding sequence will create lag automatically (i.e. hands being ahead of the clubface).

[prrolg]

Dude, the upperbody leads going back and the lower body leads coming down and through. The backswing starts at the head of the club and ends at the feet. The down swing starts at the feet and ends at the club head.

[shawakwak]

golf isn't that difficult man.

[Bliphgar]

Not difficult at all if you have no self doubt whatsoever and can do a perfect swing every time. But, y'know, no one's been able to completely clear their mind since Ben Hogan, and even he started to lose his touch.

[shawakwak]

That's the reason people suck at golf. Golf is not a game of perfect a geometry exam is.

The day I let go of the 'perfect swing' concept was my path to scratch golf. Golf isnt' the study of Human anatomay or bio-mechanics. It's implementing a few fundamentals in your own unique way. Start with the Grip, aim and work on contacting the ball with your hands ahead of the club face.

[jpsartrean]

"But, y'know, no one's been able to completely clear their mind since Ben Hogan, and even he started to lose his touch."

Ben Hogan - 1953. Greatest year ever in the history of golf. Unquestionable.

[bossofalltime]

I know Byron didn't win 3 Majors on the trot, but what bout his 1945 year? Surely that is a close rival of Hogan's 1953 ????

[edju61]

whaaaa?

[treelo74]

here's what i see-

the shift forward before going backwards sets up a lower-body precoil which carries the upper-body coil to the top. this sequence creates seperation from the two halves. the coil is around, and the sequence (both backwards and forwards) is from the ground up.

I believe the resistance he creates from the ground, actually control his shoulders like two gears.
