Interesting to how his back heel comes up so early in his down swing here... I don't think I've ever seen this from him before. Must be trying to over-swing for more power??
Westwood is cocky, good golfer but cocky. He plays very consistent, not sure how because he chicken wings his left arm right before impact, he has it grooved so it works. Short game is pretty marginal aswell. We all know who should be #1, and would be if he could of kept his pecker in his pants.........
@SPOILCANE Tiger hasn't been healthy since 2008, independent of that. He had some nasty damage in that front knee, and when your swing is that powerful, that front knee bears a lot of stress, so it's an even more crippling injury.
@miche1df I'd say he hasn't been healthy since 2007, he hurt his knee in this very tournament (2007 PGA Championship). I hope he does get back to somekind of good playing form
when he "hammers" it correctly he reverts back to his old swing plane with the new takeaway...funny how when he swing it "properly" or what he thinks is properly for him now(a la haney) he hits it offline....
how....the faster the club is moving means that if it is open or closed just a tad the mistake will be more dramatic...also why are we arguing about possibly the best golfer ever?
actually it's not flatter it just appears that way because of the back swing. If you look at the the down swing plane now, it's a little more upright. When he was with butch, he dropped the club down more to start the downswing which got the club into a pretty flat swing plain. Now he actually hits a lot more fades, if you notice, and it's easier to do that with a more upright swing plane.
Flatter in comparison to his older, upright, across the line swing. He takes the club back on plane, never lets the club get above his shoulder plane, and drops it down back on plane and can swing as fast as he wants without fear of messing up.
He's really close to being flat on the backswing with the driver, no wonder he has some problems with that club, he's still the best fairway wood player we'll ever see though hands down

He never clears his hips that fast. His right foot came off the ground a quarter of the way through his downswing.

He really squats into the shot...so much power. But if his timing was out by just a bit it would be catastrophic!
Deserves his title of number 1 for sure.

There's no way he swung flat if his right hand went above his head on the follow through...
and it did..
Tiger messes up his tee shots for one reason.. he hits them so much harder than most of the rest, he has a larger margin of error.
The fairway finders are NOT the big hitters.

narrow his margin for error means 'that just a tad' and the mistake would be more dramatic. Narrower = smaller room for error
Whos arguing?

Anybody critiquing Tiger's swing has no idea what they're talking about. Flat? Not even close guys, his mechanics are sound and perfect.
