In this video I go over a couple of Tiger’s iron swings and a 3 wood swing from this past week’s Tour event in Virginia. It was Tiger’s best tournament in a while with 3 rounds in the 60’s, marred only by a 3 over 74 in the 3rd round. Tiger’s backswing is spot on here, with what I would consider better posture at address and a perfectly on plane takeaway. He has the shaft pointed beautifully at the top, and with the 3 wood his hands seem to work more toward the ball than they have been in the recent past (well, not so recent I guess since he’s been dropping them straight down or backwards since 2009), but the iron swings still have the hands dropping vertically, which if you watch this website you know I am no great fan of. I think if he would consciously try to move the hands toward the ball it would help him limit the amount of lowering in the downswing and help him stop his tendency to get the shaft stuck behind him. On a very good note it appears his lower body is clearing faster, maybe not like the good old days but better than the last 5 years or so. With his putter and short game coming around we may just see Tiger play well and get into the hunt in a big event soon.
