Tigers "new go to" Masters shot, borrowed frpm TGM

[rvwink]

Tiger writes in the July Golf Digest that one of his most reliable shots at the Masters was a little "holder". To play it, he maintains the angle of the right wrist through impact, delaying the release. Article is on page 41 of the July issue. It shows a pictture of Tiger past contact with his right wrist still bent and his left wrist flat.

If you scroll down, you'll see a nice picture of Tiger keeping that FLW and Bent right wrist post impact.

"I like the holder fade because it's easier to consistently control trajectory, spin and distance ........ "

Arguably an intuitive genius with a club in his hands.... it's amazing he does not make the cognitive connection between the mechanics of his highly valued "go to" stroke and its significance to what could be his full swing.

Tiger's Driver stroke might be all pivot control, I think his brains are in his hips and never in his hands except with his short game. The man has a great Hitter's Stroke with a short iron in his hands.

I hear ya. If the Tour hadn't turned into "hit and go find it" maybe he would have had to question the intelligence of those hips.

Tempo and balance, even for Tiger, are the keys to good driving.

Close your eyes, stay in balance.

Smooth, heavy - expecially you Tiger - swing at 50%

I used it for the 7-iron approach I hit on No. 7 Sunday that set up birdie and helped me maintain momentum. Here's how I play it: Because I'm holding off the finish, I take one more club than normal for the yardage; play the ball toward the middle of a slightly open stance; swing along my foot line, and hold the release a fraction of a second longer through impact to put cut spin on the ball.

HA. By chance I had that exact shot on video. Ran it through a sequence of SW. In short: And here it is. Enjoy. (Sorry about the text. Some of the SW I used was a demo)
