@jritter5 as a fellow golf professional, i feel like the 'simply unwind' transitional phase of one plane theory hasn't been flushed out very well by anyone!

I think he should go back to the swing he starting winning with and what feels natural to him, after all it did win him 14 majors and 71 pga tour events. they guy has probably studied the swing into such minute detail we couldn't even imagine and im sure he's well aware of exactly how he's swinging and the difference between his swing in this video as compared to a guy like snead.

Looks like you nailed it Jritter - this is exactly what he is working on with Sean Foley now.

its not the swing...its the speed. His swing is easier to repeat because it is less dependent on a handsy motion/ also for distance control....He is missing more because he is trying to keep his edge...Different eras...Funny how nobody ever compares him to someone of his own era that is as long and more accurate...Hell I could hit as many fairways as Hogan if my goal was to hit it 210 down the middle on a 500 yd par 4, but i wouldnt be getting any looks at birdie...

great video, You mentioned that if Tiger made this change he would reclaim his spot as one of the longest drivers in the game. What is it about TIger's current swing that keeps him from hitting it longer?

Jeff, I've always been impressed with your videos. One thing is missing. I believe Sam Snead said, "People don't hit solid shots because they don't take the time to learn a proper grip". I'm surprised you haven't uploaded a video on the proper golf grip (or perhaps I have missed it). I think all of your students would benefit, so here's hoping you provide a video regarding perhaps the most important fundamental in golf.
I believe since his current swing requires too much timing, he is forced to "slow" down his unwind in order to coordinate his arm swing and body turn. If he were to put himself in a position where he was not concerned with "timing" so much, he could unload and play more towards his true speed potential.

Although Sam's left arm raises a bit, his arms work behind on both sides of the swing, which is congruent with one plane theory. A one plane action, requires less timing in order to keep the club on plane, while allowing for a strong powerful unwind. Yes, Sam had beautiful rhythm, but he didn't need it as much as Tiger or a swing such as Payne Stewart.
