Is this Tiger at his best or was it the swing from the 2000 U.S. Open. It's an argument that no one could win. He's one of the greatest athletes that's ever played. But, Homer said that even the best are constantly changing their swings.
My point is to be careful with pictures of great golfers. When was the picture taken? What was the player trying to accomplish or change? I could take a picture of Tiger hitting a ball from under a bush. If that was the only picture that you ever saw of Tiger and you modeled you swing after that picture, you might not like the end result.
Homer gave us all the options and all of the consequences. Photos in magazines or videos might not.

Are you implying that it is Tiger's "athleticism" despite his mechanics that make him a great golfer. I would argue that point even with my limited knowledge of TGM.
Tiger's mechanics from under a bush are probably better than 95% of those who hold a club in their hand.
What was Homer's context when he said "even the best are constantly changing their swing." I don't think anyone has or will ever think they have a perfect golf swing whether a follower of TGM or not. Are you satified with your present mechanics?
