  • He´s holding back...

  • so much fun to watch back then

  • He squanked it!!!

  • Draw at 9 secs. See the h20 on the left??? He was the shit when he was thin.

  • at 0:09 it was a big push hook or a push

  • @bensteeley Actually it wasn't, it was the camera angle.

  • 9 seconds,... is that a shank?

  • great short short

  • Damn he was broke...

  • He needs to bring some of those hats back.

  • Hmm....is it really so bad for the trail heel to come up early in the downswing?

  • his backswing is way better now than in that video

  • All his problems would go away if he brought the bucket hat back

  • the swing at 0:19 is the most beautiful swing in the history of golf....better than snead

  • these are the only swings I TRY to emulate

  • his swing was so much better back them thumbs up if u agree :)

  • not the hip turn.. its when he changed his swing with all of the wieght going towards that left knee, with the hip turn.

  • 0:48 that hip turn over all the years is what crushed his knee

  • he use to have hands ahead of the ball at address - left arm and shaft one line. not now!!!

  • Comment removed

  • dude he isnt gonna shank

  • His upper body got too strong for this swing too he overworked his muscles... But his knee was the main problem

  • intense hip move..

    

  • he has got to get back to this swing

  • @MrBoseheadphones look at the torque he puts on that left knee at impact there is no way he could ever go back to this

  • what is that hat?

  • Forget the swing. Tiger needs to bring that hat look back

  • Wow! he needs to come back to that swing!

    Amazing!!

  • @AerofilmsArgentina His left knee action from those days have brought him to this point today. He will either need to take the next 3+ months off, or change his swing to quiet his leg action (easier said than done). 

  • @mtech20 Yes! he snaps his left knee. It hurts just to look at it.

  • i think he is just focused too much on swing and not score:/

  • What the hell? Look at his swing at 1:30, thats the biggest draw shot i've ever seen.

  • any chance you can convert this into a quick time format and repost it

  • any chance you can convert this into a quick time format and repost it

  • right, little shanks

  • :17. I definitly know that was the 1995 U.S. amateur. :D

  • That wasn't Tiger Woods! It was Chi Chi Rodriguez!

  • wtf at 0:09?

  • @kalehockey Look where his feet are aimed. He is not trying to hit it over the water. And the camera lens always makes down the line shots look like they start way out to the right. Just an illusion.

  • wow it looks like he shanks it at 0:09

  • @db30039 It is a big draw

  • @db30039 its cuz he did

  • @db30039 It may appear that way, but take a closer look... His back foot is slightly further back than his front, indicating that he's using and outward swing path to draw the ball back to the left. Also, his clubface is aligned in a closed position; Tiger is obviously not trying to hit it right into the water, which is where the face is pointing. This closed face is also the sure sign of the ball turning back over to the left. This shot is obviously going to move (a lot) back to the left

  • @db30039 check his feet...

  • @db30039

    defiantly just playing a push draw like he does on almost all of his tee shots

  • @db30039 nahht he just gets a really good draw :L

  • @db30039

    right...except he didn;t shank it....it was a draw that ended up in the right center of the fairway...

  • @db30039 Its the camera angle, you can barely see the green to the right edge of the frame.

  • @db30039 its a big ass draw

  • ridiculously closed faced! omg

  • shut at the top and across the line with a strong as fuck grip - no wonder he changed his swing.

  • @stevepising are you kidding its a fuckin sweet swing

  • i like his swing way more here

  • He had much better rhythm back then...

  • @jwshin00 I agree. His swing was much prettier to watch then too. But he relied so heavily on that timing and practiced like a fiend to get achieve perfect rhythm. Today his swing has fewer moving parts, and lacks that flamboyant motion he once sported. Can't argue with the results! And by those I'm not referring to the mistresses. ;-)

  • @jwshin00 I agree. His tempo in this video is far superior to his tempo. today

  • @jwshin00 because he doesnt squat as much so it looks more rhythmic. (Els and Tiger have the same swing speed but Els the big easy bc hes so stable)

  • it looks like he weighed 155 here

  • he keeps his posture and level through the ball on these old swings.

    this swing as an amateur is more better, and more repeatable.

    fosho

  • @xmcrxromancexx more better??

  • I don't see much of a difference between his swing then compared to today's.

  • @RK831 Alot. he keeps his head much further back in his swing. He brings the club more inside and has much more hip turn....

  • his swing has changed so much

  • wo so skinny.

  • 0:10 looks like he shanked it? :o..i think this swing is much better than his swing now!

  • @paddy110287

    I think he hooked it at lot to be safe from the water

  • why do we wanna see slow motion swings of him ???

  • @BlazingMaryJane1 To compare and contrast his swing from back then to now. To compare my swing against his in different positions. It's very useful.

  • He was skinny back then.

  • @itubeutude growth hormone fixed that

  • @therealOG328 Yeah, because people don't get any bigger naturally after they turn age 20...

  • @WonderboyST nah it's because his doctor was arrested not too long ago for giving athletes growth hormone. look it up. now of course this doesn't mean he did... but there really isn't a sufficient way to test for hgh... plus i could definitely see him do it. he has gotten lasik eye surgery and has cheated on his wife with multiple women. im sure he wouldn't care about a little growth hormone.

  • @therealOG328 what would lasiks have to do with that? jw

  • @tjack2themax527 its a form of giving yourself an edge over everyone else. that enhanced his level of game. how would it not? because it's not against the rules? im sure tiger would do what he could get away with like many other athletes.

  • @therealOG328 but a lot of players have had lasiks eye surgery. they just don't want to have to wear contacts lol do you wear glasses/contacts? bc i do and when i'm older i'm definitely planning on getting lasiks lol i don't think he was really considering that lasiks was going to give him an advantage on the golf course

  • @tjack2themax527 he talks about how he was fine without them but how they do help him with playing. im just saying why do we consider lasik ok but not steroids or hgh? a lot of people will argue because they are wrong... but why?

  • yeah this swing was all about power power power power, but after he switch from butch harmon to haney haney focused more on control, you see how his swing is 3 quarter with his irons and his hands and lower in the back swing

  • Tiger in his prime

  • last shot was a bullet.

    what a beauty

  • yeah but you got to remember he draws the ball naturally even he said it himself i na golf clinic thats why he likes to draw it a lot

  • Tiger sure had style

  • bit of a SLICE at 0:09 lol

  • It's really not.. he prefers to draw the ball and in relation to his shoulders and feet at adress i'd say he hit it pretty good. Stop commenting random crap before you've done your research

  • u see the swing at 1:12???? thats his second shot after the swing at 0:09.......yes right in the middle of the fairway....he hit a hard DRAW(infact the exact opposite of a slice)

  • nice hat

    can sum 1 take a look at my swing...n comment

  • very upright. looks like his hands play catch up with his lower body. you need really good timing to swing like that. he used to trap the shit out of the ball which made him very long but gave him trouble controlling distance.

  • pause at 1:31 extreme high hands and shut clubface. it takes a great athlete to get good results from a swing like this. tiger was super long back then, but i'm sure he laughs when he sees these videos now. he's learned and changed so much

  • the clubface is not shut, it looks that way because of the camera angle. the clubface is the same as his left wrist. it is good to have your hands high like that, it can give you better leverage and greater clubhead speed.

  • after tiger won the Masters, he changed his swing bc it was still shut from his amateur days

  • do u know what kind of shot he is trying to play do you know what hole that is? he is playing a big running hook and its the 18th at TPC sawgrass. He could hit his 2i like 270 on those firm fairways. You have to understand what shot he is trying to play until you say something is wrong with his swing.

  • It looks fairly similar to his one that he has now

  • wow Tiger's swing now is in another league compared to that!

  • puartista if your handicap was +36 you'd be shootin 36 under u retard

  • no geoff 4417 ur the retard not rory mcilroy and tigers handicap was +8 and if you want proff check his book.

  • spirit1309 your a complete retard tiger was shootin in the sixties when he was 12 and had a handicap of +8.1 at his home course which means he shoots eight under .

  • well dats his index which is based on slope and rating so lets say his home course has a rating of 75 so if he shot 72 the computer wud count it as 3 under. no one is good enough 2 shoot 8 under on a daily basis

  • fail tiger woods turned pro at hcp +4 lowest hcp ever recorded was +6 rory mcilroy :) who is a retard

  • what an idiot...google handicaps to find out how it works

  • yea he was a +3 in 93 soooo... yeeeaa (incase u dont no that means. that means he shot 3 under)...dumbass

  • 3 over par, not -3 dumbass- LEARN SUMTHIN

  • a plus handicap is on the under par side of scratch u moron......tiger was already a scratch player by age 11 or 12.....

  • haha ur so stupid +3 means u add 3 to his score to get to scratch so LEARN SUMTIN

  • Do you know what a handicap is? This is the kind on convo I get with a +36-er, you shoot about what a 110 or so?

  • hey RETARD...learn somethin about handicapping before making idiotic comments that make urself look like a retard....a plus handicap IS ON THE UNDER PAR SIDE OF SCRATCH......if ur a 5 handicap, then u are just a 5, not a "+5".......a +5 is someone who half the time shoots 5 strokes under the course rating....

  • Hahahha, yeh hed be shooting 2 under every hole

  • your a complete dope

  • maybe you shouldnt post anything anymore, it just makes you look ignorant.

  • my gawsh..his swing he's so much advanced for an amateur back then

  • doesnt matter about what he shot when he was 5,10,15...none of that matter, and you guys need to relize it. Its his mental game that matters, thats why he is great

  • tiger was probably a scratch player around age 11-12....by the time he was 22 he had already won the Masters by 12 shots...ur retarded....

  • do you have down syndrome... he was shooting in the 60's when he was 11, and you think it took him till 22! ha!

  • He has changed his golf swing over the years

  • And also, you think he came in last in all of those amateur tournaments? hahahhahahhahahah. dude i could fill a page with shit he won when he was a kid but what really comes to mind is that he was the fucken US Amuteur Championship 3 times in a row. From '94- '96 he was unbeatable and he had also won the US Junior Amateur 3 years in a row before that! Spirit, you really just dont know what the fuck your talking about man, i dont mean to own like this but your comments are just pathetic.

  • What brh5934 said ^

  • hahah yeah right! you honestly think that Tiger Woods wasnt a scratch golfer until he was 22?! Thats retarted!!

    Man this is rich because he won the fucken MASTERS, yeah that MASTERS! when he was 21! And not only that but he won it by 12 shots at 18 UNDER par! Hmm I guess thats not scratch, thats probably like a +20 handicap haha! Your honestly a real dumbass if you dont think the man was a scratch golfer till he was 22, get your fucken shit together before you write such stupidity

  • dude. look at his hat.

  • I dont think tiger has the greatest swing, its his short game and mental strenght that makes him the greatest ever

  • swing plane problem on a flat rated course

  • is his real name tiger...........lol

  • YES!!!

  • omg!!!! tiger's swing was so bad back then, i mean that swing is so pathetic i bet he got last in all of those amateur tournaments he must have improved so much since those days because his was awful then

  • I hope your not serious. Scratch player at age 13 sounds legit to me. iono

  • it wasnt a bad swing at all, he drove the ball more accurately with his 1996-1997 swing then he has now, so choose your words wisely when you critique the worlds number one player' s "bad golf swing"

  • hey, can someone look at my golf swing and comment it please..thanks :)

  • nice hat tiger

  • love this swing. one of my favorites

  • his body is so chill on his backswing, on plane absolutely perfect, its all abs.

  • yep he did he hit it way right

  • Did he shank it at 0:11 ?

  • Nah... look at his feet he is aiming way right.

  • and camera angles bro

  • wow u clearly no nothing about golf

  • haha! If you say so...

  • yea he definitely shanked it

  • yea, he shanked it so bad it ended up in the right center of the fairway....

  • I don't think so, I've seen that on tv and it puzzles me too, it looks like it goes way right but I'm pretty sure they curve it back.

  • his swing looks more inside, i don't love it

  • his swing changed... but alot is still the same as it was back then, he prolly put on 50-60 pounds at least since then, of course ur swing will change when ur whole body does

  • Your swing can change if your body does?

  • Not many people who could pull that swing off. Its hella across the line and the timing needs to be perfect.

  • Comment removed

  • no i play t instead. plus i'm a pro

  • Comment removed

  • Your a retard! This swing looks nothing at all like his swing today...You must not watch golf

  • If this swing is soo awful then how did he win the 97 Masters with it. The rest of the field are nothing compared to him

  • Because hes the best there is at getting the ball in the hole...his swing doesnt even fit into the equation.

  • It is actually a really good junior golfer swing.

  • he won a ton of tournaments with this swing. i wouldn't call it 'really bad'

  • no it is really bad

    he just has a tremendous amount of talent and timing so he is able to make it work and still beat everyone by 5+ shots

  • no, you're just really an idiot.

  • look at hubomama's comment

    thats all im trying to say

  • its actually a good swing but youre used to seeing a better tiger swing so it doesnt look as good.

  • So much power...so little control...that was then...he's a little better now

  • and michael jordan wasnt michael jordan at 17 either... if you reach your peak at 17 by definition you will NOT be a tiger woods, cause guys like him will always continue to improve on their already extremely polished game

  • huge follow through

  • so flexable just unreal

  • omg when he was young he was so skinny now hes a beast

  • Not really a pretty swing but hard focus and determination

  • wow look how much it has changed his head is all over the place in his backswing and a lot more wrist action than nowadays

  • His swing is so much more smooth and controlled than earlier in his career.

  • Who's that skinny nerd? wait.... i kno who that is

  • he's a beast

    he won his final us amateur without his A game

  • though his swing has always been great, it´s improved soooo much... til he´s become an allien. His play has been never seen on tour before...

  • 0.12 LOOKS LIKE HE SHANKS IT.

  • looks like it right? but if u notice the fairway is way on the right. it would be a shank if he were trying to hit it over the water.

  • If you look where his body is aiming you can see he is just hitting a draw.

  • it actually does

  • he gotta be the most flexable golfer ever to play the game at the begining of his carreer he had to change his sing cause doctors said his career would be like three years long

    hesw a beast from the east

  • I wanna see tiger wear that brimmed hat again in competition!lol

  • you can see how much different is swing is then to now.

  • Have you compared them side by side with our swing player on our site? You can really see the differences.

  • best player to ever play the game

  • what a stud.

  • only man in winning the us amateur three consecutive timeeessss

  • do you think tiger has always been a big hitter? like as a junior and stuff? he is so thin and wht the heck is he wearing lol.

  • i know plenty of juniors who hit long who are thin, its about flexebility.

  • Part of the reason mey be that he has the best core rotation at impact, or at least in the top 98% of players on tour, and to keep that balance with such a powerful swing is out of this world.

    ... the clothes may be weak back then, he's got better clothes now, lol.

  • yea i am 15, 5'9" and about 125 and i can put it out there like 270

  • no, i just meant that he was thin back then compared to now, am pretty thin, i am 5'8" at 110 an i get can get the ball out there, but just he is so different now!

  • oh yea i get what your saying okay

  • quality video i actually prefere his old swing altho its worse technicaly than his new one ill model mine on this swing

  • Tiger in a bucket hat and turquoise shorts is priceless.

  • It's amazing what Nike Millions will do for your outfits. Swoosh and TW on everything.
