| Tiger Woods at Sherwood Dec. 2007 I watched Tiger woods in person at Sherwood Country Club a few weeks ago. I watched his entire practice routine and I wanted to point out some cool things I saw. Hank has him feeling a lot more with practice swings. He exaggerates positions he wants to feel. He wants to feel that the club face doesn't get across the line or closed at top (he is obsessed with not hitting it left for the time being) so he does 3-6 repetitions of the correct position rapidly before hitting a practice ball. He also hits balls at about 10% of normal speed. He was hitting drivers like that and they were going about 10-20 yards long :-) This is because after the several repetitions he was doing, it is easier to feel them occur when you slow things down drastically. Hope this helps with your training sessions, I know it helped mine!

| Re: Tiger Woods at Sherwood Dec. 2007 I heard the commentators on T.V. talking about him swinging the driver very slow on the range and the other players were looking at him, kinda like, what is he doing?.lol.....Whatever it takes. |

| Re: Tiger Woods at Sherwood Dec. 2007 As gifted a player as Tiger is, what ever his practice routine is, it should be copied by others to some degree. I think I will try his 20 yard driver swing just for the heck of it. I know when I first took up this game there was a saying that went something like "...practice slow to go low...". I suspect what worked back then still works today. GJS |

| Re: Tiger Woods at Sherwood Dec. 2007 Hello All: Several tour players have used the slowed down driver swing as a practice routine over the years. The late Payne Stewart would hit his driver in increasing increments of 50 yards starting out with the first shot only going about 100 yards. Fred Couples does a similar version of this routine. This technique can help with tempo issues and also allows a plyaer to really feel what is going on during the entire swing versus when you are swinging near top speed and the swing is over to quickly for the brain to analyse it properly. It is a really good technique when you are working on swing changes. I imagine we will see more players "slowing things down" now that Tiger has adopted this practice. |
