@tihannorubato It is shut compared to almost all other golfers, pro or not. But, if you think about the plane on which the club moves back, up and around - the plane more or less through the shoulders to the ball - his clubface stays square to that plane. I'm not saying that's good or bad, better or worse, it's just an observation. Cf. The Plane Truth, by Jim Hardy, who points this out.
wow that was low,.. i've just strated to employ the shut club face and its improved my game and cut down on miss hits. Impact is definately more solid too, give it a try but dont forget to follow thru, open shoulders and hips or its going left liek a rocket.
@sniffy45 it also helps if you jack the club outside the line on the way back, thats what he was doing in 99' which kept the club in front of his body and he could just upwravel through it and flush it to no end, and yes, the shut face helps, I do it with a neutral grip and for some reason, I can play better shutting the clubface than with a square face, probably because I used to be a shut-faced player, but my coach got me away from it
Very shut club face on the backswing and downswing. This is one of the best homegrown swings there is today. The man used to be more dominante than Tiger was. Hips and shoulders fly open to level it out
The funny thing is I bet he made par. I saw tiger do the same thing in Charlotte. He thinned a 5 iron and looked back at us and said..... no that wasnt a stinger, I bladded it. I would rather hit it thin then chunk it anyday of the week.
@itubeutude always has been. Camera angle could be a factor. I am not sure he is inside enough in the backswing either...camera is a factor on that one FOR SURE but I have seen him swing lately and he seems more outside then falling inside on his downswing. Hands and clubhead inside more going back perhaps with more right hip turn. The only thing I can see as a possibility to change anyway.

what's funny is it probably carried the water, hit on the upslope of the front fringe, and stopped at 2 feet.

One of the funnier slow motion swing clips on youtube. I love the 300fps on a skip shot. Hilarious.
