There are certain things about Tiger's
swing that, as the saying goes, "I'm a
professional; don't try this at home."
One of those things could be trying to
imitate his speed and power. Tiger has conceded
in interviews that the only way he is ever
going to hit the ball further is to swing
faster.
My mechanics aren't bad -- I'm working
on posting a video -- and my distance
is adequate. If I hit the ball on the center
of the club face, it's an improvement.
Obviously, Tiger Woods isn't too worried
about hitting the ball on the sweet spot.
He just does.
Now, one of the things that Tiger does
that I'm not about to try is whip the club
back with force. He wants the club itself
to help him load power to the upper body.
If you are 29 years old, that probably sounds
like a swell idea. When you're 62 and play
in the summer, it doesn't.
