I only caught the beginning, but it sounded like before approaching Tiger Notah put together a ton of different stats that helped Tiger see the light.

Looking at Tiger's swing in the very limited amount we've seen it so far, it looks much smoother and much less stressful. Definitely see the correlation to going back to how he swung as a kid. I'm a Tiger hater, but kind of rooting for him to at least make things interesting.

Side by side video of Tiger swinging in 2000 on the left, 2014 on the right. Bingo.

Wow

Crossed fingers for no more of that crazy pre shot cut-across-the-face routine from outside to inside. Hurt to watch sometimes.

A lot of instructors have players do this to get a "feeling" for what they want, which is usually not even close to reality.

Tiger's major fault is getting "stuck" on the downswing. This happens when he drops his back shoulder and blocks it high right or flips it through the ball and smothers it left. The rehearsal "cut across" from out to in is to get him to keep his right arm in front of him vs, behind his body on the downswing. It actually works for those of us with that swing fault.

I have a terrible inside drop at the top of my swing, so my instructor once told me to take swings and try to hit myself in the front leg with the club after impact. I have the result on video and it was a perfectly on-plane swing, yet it felt to me like a 30-handicap over the top chop job.

Nice explanation

Yes I understand the rehearsal meaning, just in the end I thought that it was an accurate summary of Tiger's Foley swing. Inefficient and unreliable. The pre-shot moved seemed to be a band aid to a flaw in the body/swing relationship. More double crosses off the tee than is at all an okay amount.

Also a good point.

I'm just agreeing with everyone to cover my bases now.

Chipotle - is the right swing from this week?

In reply to ORAggieFan Yes it is.

Just watched a side by side vid of his driver swings now versus earlier this year. They are not as noticeably different. Flatter, bigger turn this week than earlier this year with the driver.

This guy Luke has a lot of good comparison vids and commentary if any of that interests y'all.

Tiger goes OB on his first shot. Reloads and hits the fairway, hitting his fourth shot now.

Tiger hits his wedge to a foot to make a bogey on #1.

Welp...I can relate to this.

Can we compare OB drives from early 2014 to OB drives in late 2014?

Tiger bogeyed 1 and 2, then 3 straight pars, including a par 5. One fairway hit, one green hit, 7 putts. +2.

I think even today would be a good number for him

damn

41 on the front 9. Rough start!

Yep, I always knew I was just as good as Tiger Woods.

Now, if he manages to post a 44 on the Back 9, it will only solidify my position.

Oh S***. Needs more reps quickly

Too many ****ing commercials.

Tiger finally gets a birdie. +4 now.

Apparently Tiger has chunked three chips today. Just complete flubs, according to Twitter.

goodness that is awful

Tiger looks like me!

Currently in last place and four shots behind the guys in second to last place.

Seriously... why hire Chris Como to learn how to do that? Just call bagger05 and he can have you chili dippin' twice as fast for half the cost!

Looks like a traj issue in that gif.
