Tigers swing changes


In my humble opinion the jury is still out on the well documented swing changes of Tiger Woods over the last 2 years under the watchful eye of one Hank Haney.

Even though he won over $10 million and 2 majors i believe he is not the ball striker he was in 2000. Just look at the stats for 2005 http://pgatour.com/players/stats/149765/2005 and then for 2000 http://pgatour.com/players/stats/149765/2000 and pay close attention to driving accuracy and greens in regulation.

So lets take this opportunity to compare swings. The picture on the left was taken at the 2000 masters and the picture on the right was the 2005 accenture matchplay. The newer swing is considerably longer as the picture on the left shows the club not reaching parallel their is much greater coil in the older picture as can be seen by how little his hips have turned.
So simply put Tigers swing today is more complicated and relies more on timing.................but that is only my opinion..
