In 2000, he was keeping his flying wedges in place, both of them.

Now, he either keeps his left wedge and goes right, or keeps his right wedge and 'blocks' his irons (with some left side breakdown)

A very slight adjustment to his left thumb and a slight strengthening of his right hand would allow him to keep both his wedges.

With his current motion, he would do best always playing a fade and/or adding FULL roll. Either of which would be a compensation for not taking his grip at impact fix.

The rest of his motion is so outstanding that he can compensate, but the long term issue needs to be addressed before he is back on 'auto'. He is stuck between his natural trend towards using his right arm, and a grip that requires giving up control to CF and using full roll.


Get his wedges back and grip from impact fix and watch out world!

From the few close up of Tiger's grip aired on Sunday, it is in a MUCH better position than earlier in the season (even earlier in the week IMO). In fact, his motion on Sunday was simply outstanding - the best combination of this old move from 2000, and the work he has done recently I have seen to date.
