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.
I would say that both of you, yodaluke and hg, has a point. Tiger IS a great athlete and he HAS the will and determination.
I belive that Tiger will do what ever it takes to reach his golfing goals. Even if it means changing his now succesful swing to something else in the future. And he will overcome the problems when changing. Why? Because he is a great ATHLETE and has the WILL and DETERMINATION.

Now Yodasluke,
Could you, using TGM terms, describe his currently swing (pattern)?

My first lesson was at 9am and I finished today at 7pm. I'm not complaining, but I do need some time to do what you've asked. I need to give my brain a little rest, but I'll try to get to it as soon as I can.
I've got another full day tomorrow, so I need some .

Edz mentioned the grip. Learning the proper RFT, tracing the straight baseline plane line and stationary head Tiger would have a TGM non compensating swing. He is almost there now.

And the track record.

What amazes me is that he is up against some pretty stiff competition. Up against a ton of will, and a ton of determination. And that he's done it already for some 22 years.

An amazing track record ever since he entered the Junior World Golf Championships "age 9-10 class" as an 8-year old. And won.

He's been winning ever since.

Staggering.
