Never, will I be satisfied. Golf is a journey; not a destination. I guess that's exactly the reason that I posted this link, in addition to it being awesome footage. You can use it beneficially to show many things.

I simply hope that one video or one picture will not be considered the way, when Tiger has won with many ways.

It is amazing how certain teachers 'sway' their feelings on his stroke pattern based on his results. He wins one week - they think that his stroke is great, the next couple of weeks go by - he needs to fix x,y,z...

A golf stroke for most is a living entity continously evolving.

I mean the guy is just amazingly talented, theres just absolutely no doubt about it. I just like to watch him play.... His stroke pattern is going to be the subject of analysis for many a generation - good or bad - because he is one of the greats.

Tiger wins because he "thinks" he is the best and he believes that no one can beat him even on a bad swing day. He loves to compete and kick butt. To a large extent he must also think he deserves to win for all the work and effort he puts into his game. His will and determination to win intimidates others. Now that he is learning that course management is also a critical component to consistently winning, as Hogan did and as Nicklaus practiced, the best is yet to come as his caddy recently suggested. For Hogan and Nicklaus every shot had a specific purpose.
Tiger's swing motion may be critqued by many but it is only one of his components to a winning formula. I would imagine that no one should ever try to copy someone else's swing...it may not be a good fit...that is where a talented instructor (hopefully TGM) needs to step in and help find the pattern and components that best fit.
