And btw Rory doesnt have many swing flaws, he tends to hook it like all good players, and he can get stuck sometimes like me, common faults by many good players
I am sick of all this ripping on Rory hes 22 for Christ sake dont expect him to be perfect its not possible, he hits greens, can be a good putter, his swing is beautiful, and he drives it way better than Tiger ever has. Hes 22 the wins will come
@Aaronva83 Only a moron would say Rory has to change his swing. All swings are based on timing. Tiger dominated not cause of his swing but cause he used to be the best putter. Rory dominated the US Open cause he made a ton of putts to go along with his great ballstriking.
I am not denying Rory's talent or ability, but I am objective and honest and I know that if he doesn't change his swing he will never even get close to playing at the levels Tiger has. He will more likely end up being as successful as Phil Mickelson if he is lucky. I say if he is lucky only because of the depth of the fields only getting deeper year by year because the legion of young ones who took up golf because of Tiger are coming of age. I hope you can understand my point better now.
As the great and arguably the best ball striker in history Ben Hogan said: Golf is about how good your bad shots are not how good your good shots are. Any of these players can play amazing golf when they are playing their best, but the test of greatness is how good you are when you are not playing your best. This is what always separated Tiger from everyone else. The good thing for Rory is that he has a nice tempo and that will help when it comes to trying to keep his timing consistent.
@Aaronva83 Finally a person who seems to have some common sense I could not agree more with you. HIs swing relies so much on timing when he is dialed in he can rape golfcourses post some really low numbers but if he is off just alittle bit you can also se rounds in 80's which happend at the the open 2010 he opened with a 63 and followed that up with 80.
The problem with a swing being based on timing is that, again, anyone who understands golf at that level (hell, anyone who can break 120 should understand this) is that our timing changes not just from week to week but from day to day. Though, when you do have a swing based on timing, you get used to it and can have a week or a few weeks where your timing is great. However, it isn't consistent and the only way to be great is to be consistent.
Now, Rory clearly has tons of talent, as did Tiger. He clearly has potential. However, he is like Tiger of 97. His swing will not allow him to be a consistent major contender the way Tiger became unless he changes it like Tiger did. As I have said, Rory currently has a lot of trouble hitting a high cut and anyone that knows golf at that level knows that is a shot you have to have if you want to be great. His swing is also based on timing like Tiger circa 1997.
Rory shooting 16 under was NOT as impressive because first, he won by 8 shots, not 12, but, again, considering it was the easiest US Open setup in history and one of the easiest major setups in a long time, his score simply is not even as impressive as when Jim Furyk finished at 8 under back in '03. Despite all that though, it was an impressive performance. It simply was not an indication of what is to come for him though (just like Tiger's 97 Masters wasn't an indication of what was to come)
Tiger won The Masters by 12 strokes in 1997. Now, while that was a more impressive display of talent because that year he was 18 under, yet, the scoring average that year was typical for The Masters, which meant shooting 18 under was DAMNED IMPRESSIVE. Despite that, however, I knew (as did Tiger, which is why he changed his swing) that his 12 stroke victory was not indicitive of what was to come unless he changed his swing. He simply had his timing on that week and putted like a robot.
Truth is, the US Open is almost always the most difficult test of the year (highest scoring average). Now when someone wins a US Open by 8 shots, yet the second place person 8 shots back is at 8 under (which at the time would have been tied for the best finishing score at a US Open outside of Tiger in 2000), and then there are a slew of people at 6 under, 5 under...you get the point. He did great, however, I have to be honest when it comes to assessing what he did.
Basically, we saw how Rory faired at Pebble at a real US Open setup. That will continue unless he changes this swing so many of you think is so great. His finishes since he won at Congressional should show you the nature of Rory. He will have more of a Phil Mickelson career if he keeps this swing. In fact, with the parity becoming what it is, if he matches Phil Mickelson's numbers, it will be an amazing career for him.
If Rory is honest with himself, he will realize that his win at Congressional was not a true major win. It was the lowest scoring US Open in history, had wider and softer fairways than almost any US Open (which is why Rory could keep his draws off the tee in the fairway - at Pebble he would not have even been in contention) and greens so absurdly soft that Rory's draws even backed up with spin! He still deserves credit for handling the pressure though, so he has that going for him.
@PhilMickelsonFan1432 Very eloquently put. I can tell you are a smart guy (especially by your taste in golfers - Phil Mickelson is the biggest media scam in golf - if most people knew what Phil was really like and some of the things he has said and done they would hate him more than Tiger just based on the fact that Phil actually does use his family for popularity where Tiger did everything he could to secure their privacy [not his]).
@PhilMickelsonFan1432 Now, I did not say it wasn't real, I said it wasn't a "true" major win. I guess I have to clarify for the slower (you attacked first with the f-bombs). He did NOT destroy everybody else. He destroyed a golf course that was setup like a regular PGA Tour event and golf course setup is the MAIN difference between a major and a regular event. That is very important when it comes to understanding his potential for the future, and that is what I am talking about.
@PhilMickelsonFan1432 Furthermore, if his performance was indicitive of greatness like some of Tiger's major wins (you do realize Tiger has thrice won majors by 8 strokes or more right? And each time he set a record for lowest 72-hole score in that major) then why was the scoring average at Congressional the lowest in history for the US Open? You don't think the absurd easiness of the setup factors in as it pertains to a 22 year old winning a major?
@Aaronva83 I am not in any shape or form comparing Rory Mcilroy to Tiger Woods. Tiger is possibly the greatest golfer who ever lifed however that takes nothing away from Rory Mcilroy's win at Congressional.
Is Rory smart enough to realize he needs to change his swing after winning a major by 8 (even though, again, if Rory is honest with himself like Tiger was when Tiger realized that even though he won a major by 12 that it was only because his timing was spot on that week and he putted like a robot - he knew to be truly great that that one performance meant nothing..that consistency is what makes a GREAT player, which by Mickelson's definition is only a golfer who has won each major at least once.
Rory, however, if he wants to win the Masters (see his previous Master performances - did well off the tee because he is a master of hitting a draw with his driver which is the needed shot at Augusta, but he had trouble hitting into those hard greens with a draw, despite his high ball flight) will need to hit a high cut. This means a swing change if he ever wants to be anywhere CLOSE to Tiger Woods level. Most people called Tiger a moron after changing his swing in 97 but he was the smart one.
The reason you need a very neutral position is because hitting a consistent lower cut or consistent fade is easy when you are across the line at the top and your downswing keeps your hands in front of the clubface (ala Darren Clarke). As Curtis Strange commented "I don't think Darren Clarke ever worries about hitting it left." Yet, Clarke's left to right shot is low and not good for US Golf or The Masters/US Open (except for Congressional - I could stop a one iron on those greens).
To hit a fade you just need to make sure your lower body out races your upper and your club face doesn't turn over: not hard. To hit a high cut you have to have an extremely consistent swing as it pertains to tempo (not a big problem for Rory, he has a beautiful tempo) and you have to have a close to neutral position at the top of your back swing, enabling you to hit a high cut (the emphasis on the word high is important here more than most people understand).
The shot one really needs to master (and this is not just my opinion but the opinion of Jack Nicklaus, who might know a little something about what it requires to perform in a major, Johnny Miller, and pretty much anyone who understands golf at the top level) to win multiple majors (well, you need to have every shot, but this especially) is the high cut. Unfortunately hitting a high cut is harder than hitting a fade it takes more precice timing. Anyone can make the ball go left to right.
Tiger WAS good? LOL. Great swing. LOL. Firstly, Rory is great at hitting a draw (and a hook) but he has real trouble hitting a fade on call and even greater trouble hitting the one shot you really need to win majors (and the US Open at Congressional played like an EASY Tour event with wider than usual fairways, soft fairways and absurdly soft greens - the lack of wind was just icing - we cannot give Rory typical major credit, sorry - would say the same for anyone who won based on the scoring)
@Aaronva83 Some really interesting views there on Rory my friend. Couple of thoughts for you - 1) He ranks in the top 10 in the GIR stats in Europe this year which suggests he's managing that hook with the irons pretty well. 2) If Congressional was set up like a regular tour event how come none of the other top 50 players in the world managed to get double digits under par? That's not a regular course set-up in my book.
I think its Rory's putting which is holding him back not his swing
@equigs i wouldnt call rory THE present....sure hes part of the present...but there are many other guys out there who could take the place of tiger...Bubba, Fowler, Glover, Donald, etc...but i dont think anyone will...just like the nike commercial with Earl Woods talking, no one is or will ever be as mentally tough as Tiger...but i think all of those guys will certainly battle it out every week and find the top of the leaderboards...just no one will flat out dominate
Oh, and if you are thinking of using Rory's age as an excuse as to why he isn't a consistent as Tiger, go back and look at Tiger's finishes at Rory's age. Tiger finished in the top 10 about 70% of the time..and had already won 6 events and the masters by 12..and that was while overhauling his swing..then he really started dominating. When Rory whens four majors in a row and 9 events in a year, etc., then come back and talk. Unless Rory adjusts that swing, his record will look more like Phil's
Finally, if you really think Rory is anywhere near Tiger, take a look at Rory's finishes. Look at how inconsistent he is. You cannot win tons of tournaments unless you are in contention all the time. Yet, before the US Open, Rory went 5th, 24th, 9th, missed cut, 3rd, 15th, 10th, 70th, 17th, etc.. Get it? Rory is like Tiger of 97. He will do great when he is on and can time his "pretty" (yet not consistent) swing. When he can't, he'll miss the cut or won't be in contention.
and lets look at rory's record in the last 4 maors he has played....3rd. 3rd, leading for 63 holes(not sure what he finished) and 1st.....id say hes pretty damn consistent for the ones that count....no hes not the next tiger, but he will be a great player..
If this last US Open, if you want to call it that, despite pretty much every golf analyst calling this US Open was a joke, the greens were so soft, and the rough so short. If it had played like a real US Open, Rory wouldn't have been able to hold all those draws in the fairway or on the greens. Why do you think Johnny Miller always says the best shot one can have for a US Open is a high draw? You won't see Rory win another US Open unless we get another congressional or he changes his swing.
wow....this statement is so far off.....if the course was set up like a US Open, Rory would have won by even more....his ballstriking was that spot on, that he would have shone even more above the other.....and he was working it BOTH ways the whole tournament....yes, his standard ball flight is a draw but he can fade it at will.....quit trying to downplay his accomplishment..give the kid his due!
Also, yes, best looking draw on Tour. However, its common...oh, wait, its not, because, while Tiger brought so many people and money into the sport (and I mean every part from your local par 3 golf course to club manufacturers, etc etc), but a lot of the new people don't know anything about golf: they're the ones holding us up out on the course hitting a 30 yard grounder and then walking and hitting it again with the same club - Anyway, point is, Rory really struggles hitting it left to right!
Seriously? Can't even compare the two?!?! Yeah, 71 wins to 3..14 majors to 1...Yeah, no comparison. Rory is great. If ANY o fyou actually knew golf, you would know how many times between Nicklaus and Tiger that young guys came out and did really well and we're labeled as being the "Next Jack Nicklaus." How many were? None...until Tiger. Point is, nobody knows until they actually accomplish things over a period of time. Kid wins once and now he is better than the best golfer ever? LOL!
are you insane charlrogers? he hits the best looking draw on tour which is why he just won the U.S. Open. He is a phenomenal player and take your tiger woods talk out of here because you can't even compare the two
haha are you guys serious his swing is problematic that's why he chocked at masters. When your knees drive under towards the ball you restrict the amount of space in the downswing at the 2011 masters mcilroy was standing on his toes in the downswing and his right arm came behind him if you would put a stick infront of him mcilroy would knock it down with his knees everytime. What saves him is his ability to clear his hips so well but you say that he is pretty much always stuck .
@f0cusen if you know so much and so well, i wonder why you're a 4 handicaper and rory is winning on tours. problem with people is they always think they know more than they actually do. the meltdown at the masters was more mental than this swing. free throws when the game on the line is not the same as the ones you shoot in practice. the pressure got to him, simple as that.
@ducksseason What has my handicap got to with anything that does not matter. You know you can be a footballcoach but does that mean that you have to be really good at playing football some coaches have had really good careers but some have not been that successful. I know a lot about the golfswing and golfmechanics does that mean I have to play on the PGA TOUR? your argument is invalid.
@f0cusen If your handicap didn't matter why'd you bring it up? Seems like on youtube everybody is suddenly a single digit handicap and an expert on the golf swing. My view is if you're not teaching it for a living or playing it for a living you probably don't know as much as you think you do. Just enjoy the swing.
@1019079 I only brought it up because one guy said .."coming from a 12 handicap who watched a DVD. No clue" Well, your knowledge seems to be lacking in that department that's for sure if you can't agree with me because the things that I have said are 100 % visible if you have a good eye and know alot about swingmechanics. I'm not saying rory is hitting the ball poorly or anything but if he would get the club more ahead of his body, get more space in the downswing he would hit it better.
@f0cusen I can assure you that whatever needs to be worked on is being worked on in his swing. He's probably paying a coach 500 dollars an hour. Trust me, whatever nonsense you're mentioning isn't a problem.
@ducksseason he was a 21 year old kid--the only other guy in that situation that young was tiger--and tiger didnt choke, but its tiger woods--he won by, what was it 10 or 12 shots or something insane like that
@ducksseason It's does not suprise me that you are lacking knowledge about the golfswing since your swing is terrible. What's your handicap 15? You don't know anything about the golfswing and you are still arguing with me. Btw a few tips for you to hit the ball longe you need more lag and a bigger arc and try to be more centered over the ball. You are moving your hips laterly in the backswing try to just rotate your hips.
@f0cusen First of all, thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try, hopefully it'll help me. :) Back to the our disagreement, when did I mention or hint that I know soo much about the golf swing or I am excellent at golf? You are the one who claim to be all knowing and a low handicapper. I don't have to know soo much to determine that a world class professional, with his "problematic swing" won the US Open by a mile, probably know more about the golf swing than an amateur.
@ducksseason Oh and here is my tip for you, if you really know so much about the golf swing and can spot Rory's swing flaws just from youtube vids, you should be someone's swing coach on tour. Maybe Tiger??? He needs a lot of help right now and Sean Foley isn't getting the job done. I'm sure you can spot all of tiger's swing flaws and help turn him around. ;)
@f0cusen opps, that was for you. just trying to help you make some dough ;) and please don't hate and calling people names because you can't prove your point logically.It's common sense that your opinion of a pro's flaws most likely isn't true. Look at all the likes on my comments and all the other response to your critics , seems like I'm not the only one who thinks you're too cocky for your own good.
@ducksseason I don't care whether you think I'm right or wrong one of the best swing analyst has pointed out the same things I did about rory's thing you can actually watch it at his website his name is Wayndefrancesco then just write .com to get to his website. "you can't come to admit he is right, so you insult him and tell him to go play video games. typical youtube troll" favre4beast wrote that finally a guy with some common sense which you seem to be lacking.
@f0cusen like I said, best swing analyst is just that, analyst. this is sports we are talking about and in sports, you have to couple sports mechanic with body physics and ability to produce results. I play hoops and just started golf so let me give a basketball analogy. you can analyze how to best do a 360 dunk all you want but if you don't have the jumping ability, you can't do it, period!.
@f0cusen you said it yourself, he can clear his hips so well but not everybody can do it. It works 4 him and he won the US Open with that swing. For you to say he choked at the masters because his swing is problematic is absurd. It was the pressure and mental breakdown, not mechanical. A swing that produce 3 tremendous consecutive rounds and 1 bad one under pressure occasionally, I like to have those flaws in my swing plz! Now that he won a major, you still thinks that his swing is problematic?
@ducksseason Swing errors tend to come out and bite you when you are under presure you are not an experienced golfer so don't argue with me because you only make yourself look ignorant. His swing is unique and it works for him sometimes he hits the ball pretty well but with a few changes he could hit the ball even better. You can always become better.
@f0cusen if it is that simple, you don't think Rory's swing coaches had not advice him of the things you mentioned already if those are actually his flaws? Just think about that, does that even make sense to you? I am not arguing with you on the technicals of his swing, just the fact that he is a professional and has professional swing coaches working with him makes him more credible than you. Base on your logic, you're not a professional golfer who won't major, don't argue with his swing!!! :)
@ducksseason Maybe his coach has already pointed that out to him you can't know that or maybe rory does not want to change his swing because that takes time and it's really hard to preform when you are changing your swing. "golfer who won't major don't argue with his swing" wtf are you talking about you are not making any sense poor sentence.
@f0cusen please don't play the bad grammar/sentence game. You should be able to figure out what I meant, your a big boy, use your brain for a bit. I'm taking a few quick mins from work to entertain myself with this discussion. If you really insist, "I don't care whether you think I'm right or wrong one of the best swing analyst has pointed out the same things I did about rory's THING" Rory's thing? what thing? that thing? so you like to talk about his thing now? first his swing, now his thing.
@ducksseason I do have to admit that it was pretty juvenile to play the grammar card but it was just not one mistake like I said you were not making any sense had to ask you what you were trying to say.
@f0cusen I meant "Base on your logic, you're not a professional golfer who won major, don't argue with his swing!!! :)" PS, it'll only make you look ignorant. lol
@f0cusen so what you're saying is that i have to be an experienced golfer to comment about you not being logical and your golfing credibility not as solid as Rory's camp? you can talk whatever you want and keep that as your own opinion. But when you put it like you're speaking the ultimate truth and insult other people "haha are you guys serious his swing is problematic that's why he chocked at masters.", you come across as ignorant and cocky and people tends to disagree with Mr. I know it all.
@ducksseason You have to know things about golf and golfmechanics to say that I'm wrong you can't just randomly pick arguments which are invaild by the way. The thing that is bothering me is everyone thinks Rory has the perfect golfswing people that I know often say "Rory has the best swing on tour" but that is not the truth and talking about his flaws in his swing proves that that is why I brought that up and I get pissed when people don't get that or are really ignorant.
@f0cusen That sounds like the crap the golf teachers would like you to believe. Your swing is your swing. How good it is is how well YOU perform under pressure. Your swing doesn't break down, YOU do. Golf swing mechanics is malarkey, as is putting mechanics. Is Lee Trevino's or Furyk's swing "mechanically" perfect? Nobody in their right mind would claim Trevino doesn't know how to hit a ball. There is no such thing as automation in the golf swing. It always relies on TIMING and RHYTHM.
@dschultz6072 There is no such thing as a perfect swing and Lee Travino was one of the best ballstrikers that has ever played this game and Furyk swing might be a little odd but he gets his hands right back to the shaftplane at impact that allows him to hit the ball great. And like I said swing errors usally come out and bite you when you are under pressure.
@f0cusen Now you're just parroting Wayne DF... Look buddy, give someone a line drawing program and they will LOOK for lines to draw. If it helps you, then fine, believe that working on your swing will make you perform better under pressure. I'm trying to tell you it's a crock to think there's something you can do with your swing to avoid choking when it's your MIND that chokes, not your body. Your mind controls your body.
@favre4beast You type THAT, am I'M the troll? Haha. Brett Favre is retired, maybe you should do the same, since you have nothing of use to contribute to this thread.
@golfershane This account was made when he was a Packer, in '07. I kinda figured most youtubers were too dumb to figure that one out. And yes, you are a troll. Attacking other people for no reason is one of the many traits of a 6-year old internet troll (you've done that twice in your last two comments on here)
@golfershane Well, He is right and you are wrong simple as that. It is you who can't provide anything useful to this matter since you are so ignorant don't even consider writing another comment you only make your self look like a douche.
@f0cusen That's all you can come up with after 4 months? You clearly have no clue about the golf swing, as you type the same comments on EVERY Rory McIlroy swing video. You regurgitate info from another guy on YouTube who overanalyzes the swing, and is out of touch with the game. Play the game for at least 20 years, then get back to me.
@golfershane What are you talking about should my knowledge about rory's swing has changed? Why, he has not changed his swing and he I think he is not considiring that either. But I do admit his swing looked a bit diffrent at the us open, his rightarm was more infront of him and he moved his hands more towards the ball at the start of the dowswing which enabled him to get his hands more infront of his body and not so much stuck behind him.
@f0cusen knees, sticks, toes.....what are you on about !!????..... his swing is different but how come he wiped everyone off the course until the last day ? his swing works for him (for now) and the meltdown was nothing but pressure. Hopefully no repeat this Sunday.....
@mogy71 What can't you undestand. Any golfer on the level Mcilroy has reached can play really well during one week or two but he can't be consistent with that swing. That's why Tiger changed his swing when he wiped the field at Masters 1997 He won with 12 strokes.
He has a great swing no doubt, I think what makes it so pretty to watch is that he holds his follow through after ripping through it with so much power, which is rare to see even at pro level
BEST TIP OF DAY DAN SHAUGER I HAD LESSON FROM DAN AND HIT GOLF BALL STRAIGHT DOWN LINE NOW AND HE HELP WITH PUTTING TOO GREAT TEACHES DAN IS THANK AGAIN DAN
wow....ifs that isnt a demanding tee shot, idk what is. id rather throw my ball all of 50yds, then have to hit that tee shot, cuz sure as hell id be in the woods
Great golf swing, does anyone find that they can hit a 909F2 further than their 909D2? The big clubhead seems to slow down the swing speed and the F2 is so explosive they are similar in distance (with my 13.5 degree)

The problem with a swing being based on timing is that, again, anyone who understands golf at that level (hell, anyone who can break 120 should understand this) is that our timing changes not just from week to week but from day to day. Though, when you do have a swing based on timing, you get used to it and can have a week or a few weeks where your timing is great. However, it isn't consistent and the only way to be great is to be consistent.
Aaronva83 6 months ago
Now, Rory clearly has tons of talent, as did Tiger. He clearly has potential. However, he is like Tiger of 97. His swing will not allow him to be a consistent major contender the way Tiger became unless he changes it like Tiger did. As I have said, Rory currently has a lot of trouble hitting a high cut and anyone that knows golf at that level knows that is a shot you have to have if you want to be great. His swing is also based on timing like Tiger circa 1997.
Aaronva83 6 months ago
Rory shooting 16 under was NOT as impressive because first, he won by 8 shots, not 12, but, again, considering it was the easiest US Open setup in history and one of the easiest major setups in a long time, his score simply is not even as impressive as when Jim Furyk finished at 8 under back in '03. Despite all that though, it was an impressive performance. It simply was not an indication of what is to come for him though (just like Tiger's 97 Masters wasn't an indication of what was to come)
Aaronva83 6 months ago
Tiger won The Masters by 12 strokes in 1997. Now, while that was a more impressive display of talent because that year he was 18 under, yet, the scoring average that year was typical for The Masters, which meant shooting 18 under was DAMNED IMPRESSIVE. Despite that, however, I knew (as did Tiger, which is why he changed his swing) that his 12 stroke victory was not indicitive of what was to come unless he changed his swing. He simply had his timing on that week and putted like a robot.
Aaronva83 6 months ago
Truth is, the US Open is almost always the most difficult test of the year (highest scoring average). Now when someone wins a US Open by 8 shots, yet the second place person 8 shots back is at 8 under (which at the time would have been tied for the best finishing score at a US Open outside of Tiger in 2000), and then there are a slew of people at 6 under, 5 under...you get the point. He did great, however, I have to be honest when it comes to assessing what he did.
Aaronva83 6 months ago
Basically, we saw how Rory faired at Pebble at a real US Open setup. That will continue unless he changes this swing so many of you think is so great. His finishes since he won at Congressional should show you the nature of Rory. He will have more of a Phil Mickelson career if he keeps this swing. In fact, with the parity becoming what it is, if he matches Phil Mickelson's numbers, it will be an amazing career for him.

If Rory is honest with himself, he will realize that his win at Congressional was not a true major win. It was the lowest scoring US Open in history, had wider and softer fairways than almost any US Open (which is why Rory could keep his draws off the tee in the fairway - at Pebble he would not have even been in contention) and greens so absurdly soft that Rory's draws even backed up with spin! He still deserves credit for handling the pressure though, so he has that going for him.

PhilMickelsonFan1432 6 months ago
@PhilMickelsonFan1432 Very eloquently put. I can tell you are a smart guy (especially by your taste in golfers - Phil Mickelson is the biggest media scam in golf - if most people knew what Phil was really like and some of the things he has said and done they would hate him more than Tiger just based on the fact that Phil actually does use his family for popularity where Tiger did everything he could to secure their privacy [not his]).
Aaronva83 6 months ago
@PhilMickelsonFan1432 Now, I did not say it wasn't real, I said it wasn't a "true" major win. I guess I have to clarify for the slower (you attacked first with the f-bombs). He did NOT destroy everybody else. He destroyed a golf course that was setup like a regular PGA Tour event and golf course setup is the MAIN difference between a major and a regular event. That is very important when it comes to understanding his potential for the future, and that is what I am talking about.
Aaronva83 6 months ago
@PhilMickelsonFan1432 Furthermore, if his performance was indicitive of greatness like some of Tiger's major wins (you do realize Tiger has thrice won majors by 8 strokes or more right? And each time he set a record for lowest 72-hole score in that major) then why was the scoring average at Congressional the lowest in history for the US Open? You don't think the absurd easiness of the setup factors in as it pertains to a 22 year old winning a major?
Aaronva83 6 months ago
@Aaronva83 I am not in any shape or form comparing Rory Mcilroy to Tiger Woods. Tiger is possibly the greatest golfer who ever lifed however that takes nothing away from Rory Mcilroy's win at Congressional.
PhilMickelsonFan1432 6 months ago
Is Rory smart enough to realize he needs to change his swing after winning a major by 8 (even though, again, if Rory is honest with himself like Tiger was when Tiger realized that even though he won a major by 12 that it was only because his timing was spot on that week and he putted like a robot - he knew to be truly great that that one performance meant nothing..that consistency is what makes a GREAT player, which by Mickelson's definition is only a golfer who has won each major at least once.
Aaronva83 6 months ago
Rory, however, if he wants to win the Masters (see his previous Master performances - did well off the tee because he is a master of hitting a draw with his driver which is the needed shot at Augusta, but he had trouble hitting into those hard greens with a draw, despite his high ball flight) will need to hit a high cut. This means a swing change if he ever wants to be anywhere CLOSE to Tiger Woods level. Most people called Tiger a moron after changing his swing in 97 but he was the smart one.
Aaronva83 6 months ago
The reason you need a very neutral position is because hitting a consistent lower cut or consistent fade is easy when you are across the line at the top and your downswing keeps your hands in front of the clubface (ala Darren Clarke). As Curtis Strange commented "I don't think Darren Clarke ever worries about hitting it left." Yet, Clarke's left to right shot is low and not good for US Golf or The Masters/US Open (except for Congressional - I could stop a one iron on those greens).
Aaronva83 6 months ago
To hit a fade you just need to make sure your lower body out races your upper and your club face doesn't turn over: not hard. To hit a high cut you have to have an extremely consistent swing as it pertains to tempo (not a big problem for Rory, he has a beautiful tempo) and you have to have a close to neutral position at the top of your back swing, enabling you to hit a high cut (the emphasis on the word high is important here more than most people understand).
Aaronva83 6 months ago
The shot one really needs to master (and this is not just my opinion but the opinion of Jack Nicklaus, who might know a little something about what it requires to perform in a major, Johnny Miller, and pretty much anyone who understands golf at the top level) to win multiple majors (well, you need to have every shot, but this especially) is the high cut. Unfortunately hitting a high cut is harder than hitting a fade it takes more precice timing. Anyone can make the ball go left to right.
Aaronva83 6 months ago
Tiger WAS good? LOL. Great swing. LOL. Firstly, Rory is great at hitting a draw (and a hook) but he has real trouble hitting a fade on call and even greater trouble hitting the one shot you really need to win majors (and the US Open at Congressional played like an EASY Tour event with wider than usual fairways, soft fairways and absurdly soft greens - the lack of wind was just icing - we cannot give Rory typical major credit, sorry - would say the same for anyone who won based on the scoring)
Aaronva83 6 months ago
@Aaronva83 Some really interesting views there on Rory my friend. Couple of thoughts for you - 1) He ranks in the top 10 in the GIR stats in Europe this year which suggests he's managing that hook with the irons pretty well. 2) If Congressional was set up like a regular tour event how come none of the other top 50 players in the world managed to get double digits under par? That's not a regular course set-up in my book.
I think its Rory's putting which is holding him back not his swing

steveingvar 8 months ago
Oh, and if you are thinking of using Rory's age as an excuse as to why he isn't a consistent as Tiger, go back and look at Tiger's finishes at Rory's age. Tiger finished in the top 10 about 70% of the time..and had already won 6 events and the masters by 12..and that was while overhauling his swing..then he really started dominating. When Rory whens four majors in a row and 9 events in a year, etc., then come back and talk. Unless Rory adjusts that swing, his record will look more like Phil's
Aaronva83 8 months ago
Finally, if you really think Rory is anywhere near Tiger, take a look at Rory's finishes. Look at how inconsistent he is. You cannot win tons of tournaments unless you are in contention all the time. Yet, before the US Open, Rory went 5th, 24th, 9th, missed cut, 3rd, 15th, 10th, 70th, 17th, etc.. Get it? Rory is like Tiger of 97. He will do great when he is on and can time his "pretty" (yet not consistent) swing. When he can't, he'll miss the cut or won't be in contention.
Aaronva83 8 months ago
@Aaronva83
and lets look at rory's record in the last 4 maors he has played....3rd. 3rd, leading for 63 holes(not sure what he finished) and 1st.....id say hes pretty damn consistent for the ones that count....no hes not the next tiger, but he will be a great player..
63Bueno 7 months ago
If this last US Open, if you want to call it that, despite pretty much every golf analyst calling this US Open was a joke, the greens were so soft, and the rough so short. If it had played like a real US Open, Rory wouldn't have been able to hold all those draws in the fairway or on the greens. Why do you think Johnny Miller always says the best shot one can have for a US Open is a high draw? You won't see Rory win another US Open unless we get another congressional or he changes his swing.
Aaronva83 8 months ago
@Aaronva83
wow....this statement is so far off.....if the course was set up like a US Open, Rory would have won by even more....his ballstriking was that spot on, that he would have shone even more above the other.....and he was working it BOTH ways the whole tournament....yes, his standard ball flight is a draw but he can fade it at will.....quit trying to downplay his accomplishment..give the kid his due!

Also, yes, best looking draw on Tour. However, its common...oh, wait, its not, because, while Tiger brought so many people and money into the sport (and I mean every part from your local par 3 golf course to club manufacturers, etc etc), but a lot of the new people don't know anything about golf: they're the ones holding us up out on the course hitting a 30 yard grounder and then walking and hitting it again with the same club - Anyway, point is, Rory really struggles hitting it left to right!
Aaronva83 8 months ago
@Aaronva83
He'll be even a better player if he just simply try to hit it straight.
You may go too deep too technical just go back to basic you can always go back at your
top.
Many players didn't realise that they already lost their fundamentals and tries
to go around the problems like tiger did.
Go back to work with butch harmon and get your swing back tiger!
For now rory is my icon.

How many were? None...until Tiger. Point is, nobody knows until they actually accomplish things over a period of time. Kid wins once and now he is better than the best golfer ever? LOL!

haha are you guys serious his swing is problematic that's why he chocked at masters. When your knees drive under towards the ball you restrict the amount of space in the downswing at the 2011 masters mcilroy was standing on his toes in the downswing and his right arm came behind him if you would put a stick infront of him mcilroy would knock it down with his knees everytime. What saves him is his ability to clear his hips so well but you say that he is pretty much always stuck .

You are moving your hips laterly in the backswing try to just rotate your hips.

@f0cusen you said it yourself, he can clear his hips so well but not everybody can do it. It works 4 him and he won the US Open with that swing. For you to say he choked at the masters because his swing is problematic is absurd. It was the pressure and mental breakdown, not mechanical. A swing that produce 3 tremendous consecutive rounds and 1 bad one under pressure occasionally, I like to have those flaws in my swing plz! Now that he won a major, you still thinks that his swing is problematic?

@ducksseason Swing errors tend to come out and bite you when you are under presure you are not an experienced golfer so don't argue with me because you only make yourself look ignorant.

@f0cusen if it is that simple, you don't think Rory's swing coaches had not advice him of the things you mentioned already if those are actually his flaws?

Base on your logic, you're not a professional golfer who won't major, don't argue with his swing!!! :)

@f0cusen That sounds like the crap the golf teachers would like you to believe. Your swing is your swing. How good it is is how well YOU perform under pressure. Your swing doesn't break down, YOU do. Golf swing mechanics is malarkey, as is putting mechanics. Is Lee Trevino's or Furyk's swing "mechanically" perfect? Nobody in their right mind would claim Trevino doesn't know how to hit a ball. There is no such thing as automation in the golf swing. It always relies on TIMING and RHYTHM.

@dschultz6072 There is no such thing as a perfect swing and Lee Travino was one of the best ballstrikers that has ever played this game and Furyk swing might be a little odd but he gets his hands right back to the shaftplane at impact that allows him to hit the ball great.

Personally, I like this swing better than Hogan's swing. Hogan stops quickly at the end of his swing; Rory has more of a poised finish.

This has been flagged as spam show
consistency..it just helps to start the swing the same way everytime...most pros do some kind of slight move right before they take the club back

tigers swing sucks actually. just because hes the best golfer doesn't mean his swing is any good at all...because in reality it isn't.
