I think he's around 150th in driving accuracy. So are Mickelson and Els.
Direction means next to zero on the tour. Raw distance and the ability to yank a wedge out of the ever shortening tour rough are the keys to winning now. If Haney's swing methodology helped Woods with that, then he deserves kudos.
BTW, that 3rd picture of the guy on the Hooters Tour (the jeans gave him away) is a definte up-and-comer. Impact position indicates both power and control. Get his name, we'll have to keep an eye on him.

In one article Haney states that behind every good or great instructor is or are great students.
I think one factor that has been overlooked in Tiger's career is that those imperatives that Tiger has were taught/learned at a very young age, prior to the well recognized golf instructors/coaches we hear about today.
You are right about direction. Recently someone wrote an article about POWER GOLF. It is good for all but a few courses and will most likely continue until something major happerns.
