Paul Casey down-the-line driver slow motion shot from the second tee on the final day of the US Open at the Oakmont Country Club, Oakmont, Pennsylvania in June 2007 (more)
It's fact Casey has a better long game than Tiger-short game and irons make Tiger the better player. But driving and long game Casey will have better stats.
you didn't just say that....I honestly believe Tiger has the most underrated long game in the history of golf. Tiger's iron game is in a league of it's own, and his driving of the golf ball is often underrated (common perception that it isn't very good, when in reality he drives it well). But it is his iron game that sets him above.
It's not weird at all. And he's not jumping. What makes it look like he's "jumping is him clearing his hips on the down swing. Thats why he pounds it as far as he does. Look at where his hips are pointed when he contacts the ball. It's on plane, and the follow through and finish position is beautiful.
It's not 'weird'. But is't definitely not textbook up-and-down. On the follow through, he seems to pull across. What's Casey's bad shot. Does he tend to over draw at all?
Superb swing-weird, WHAT-do you understand golf??? That is a brilliant swing. Excellent ball striker and long hitter. Key difference between him and Tiger is short game-Casey possibly has a better long game. But short game, particularly under pressure is what counts
He hits it a mile with little effort because he has the strongest forearms on any of the tours. And I caddied for a friend on the European Tour, he played with Casey, he's the best ball striker ever.
whatever works i guess....doesnt really look like he gets that much speed through the ball....but he must get it somewheres i spose coz he hits it a mile.
@chris741113 yeah paul casey is a underrated bomber of the ball

if you knew anything about golf you would know that was not a "wristy swat", but the forearms rotating through impact, equating to more distance

Doesnt he bow his elbow as soon as he has hit the ball, in kind of a Lee Westwood style?

I love this swing because of the way he follows thru, a very easy swing and its inspired me to try and get the same tempo.
