With Tiger and Rory playing together at the Barclays there were a number of holes where they hit similar shots on camera. Here we look at an iron shot on the par 5 7th, after hitting drives of 330 (Tiger) and 335 (Rory). The camera angles are quite similar, so we get a nice chance […]

This video doesn’t need much explanation. Rory McIlroy is hitting an iron shot from a fairway bunker, and luckily the camera is stable so we can accurately assess any elevation change in his body by drawing a line on top of his head.

Here we have Wayne jamming out two full songs (blues harp and vocals) playing with a live band in an open jam format. The rest of the band is as follows: Scott Martin – Piano, Bruce Martin […]

Tom is doing some nice work toward his main goal of un-steepening the shaft in his downswing. In this video he tries out the takeaway-stop drill and I have a chance to compare it side by side with his full motion swing. The differences would be subtle to the eye (probably couldn’t pick any […]
