U r right! So funny to hear the "critics" talking about Tiger's "excessive" head dropping. But that is where all his power comes from! You could always choose to play like Luke Donald, but, this is Tiger. Just different styles. All powerful drivers adopt the same kind of power generation mechanism: real power has to come from beneath. Flexible athletical downward movement at the start of the downswing combined with upward movement afterwards maximize the club speed generated @ impact.
Hey Rianco can you explain putting ball back in your stance produces a draw? I am trying to hit a draw more consistently and cannot seem to find a way to do it when I want too. I have tried to put it back in my stance but it pushes or slices more for me. I have put it more forward and seem to pull it more. I have been letting my hands release more, but causes a severe hook. Help please
@guam58 putting the ball back produces more spin but but naturally it promotes a fade not a draw. its only good if you are trying to hit a big push draw. just
@guam58 putting the ball back in your stance produces more of a push, not necessarily a draw. if you slice the ball putting it back in your stance is going to make it worse. if you hook it, try putting the ball inside of your left heel and try feeling like you are swinging to "right feld" to get the ball starting on the right line instead of snap hooking it.
@rianco He likes to hit the driver on a downward strike, which isn't conventional but it works. He also puts the ball back in his stance to hit a draw, so my guess is is that hes trying to crunch a draw and sling it down the fairway haha, easy game!!
Nothing's wrong with Tiger's swing. His problem is all mental. His personal life is in shambles, money lost, embarrassed in the media for the world to see. No doubt, it's affecting his timing, confidence, and focus. He won 6 majors under Haney; there's nothing wrong with his Haney swing. As for his "excessive" head dropping, it is a characteristic all great ball strikers - Hogan, Nicklaus, Trevino, Snead, Freddie, Sergio, Vijay, the list goes on.
@PUArtista Tiger has said repeatedly this is one of the moves he's working to reduce with Sean Foley. Less moving parts is the goal. No one said he wasnt' the greatest of all time but there are reasons he's overhauled his swing not once or twice but now three times. He wants to have the control of a Ben Hogan or Moe Norman, and for his swing not to create such forces that his 35 year old body can't survive.
Same way you generate power with Kong Fu. Hehe,,,,,

His excessive head dropping seems to be starting to give him some problems driving, after about 20 years of dealing with this habit.
