Tiger Practicing Ryder Cup 2012 HD

[@guerzon2010mbc]

Footage is freakin amazing!!!!! Great visual for both the beginning golfer and the advanced golfer trying to break through to the plus handicaps

[@prorobo]

Also, this is awesome Terry. Thank you! Keep posting more videos! Especially love the slow motion swings!

[@garyarthurpickle]

Your channel continues to put out the best golf footage on KZbin. Excellent video. Very helpful to see how these guys grind on the range.

[@slatt331967]

It's amazing how much shoulder turn the pros can get in the follow through; how so many of them have such awesome flexibility of all their joints.

[@ianvranek7052]

I got obe of his tees he practiced with before day 1 at medinah in 2012 . He gave it to me 😍😍

[@dresplace1000]

Amazing...I can watch this video A LOT in total bliss......!!! Thanks...

[@Silvertechnique]

One of the neatest things about his swing is how well he stays on his plane through his backswing and downswing. Something I'll definitely learn a lot from watching!

[@KMAN10694]

Great Video!!!! I love the takeaway.... how the hands move inside while the club head stays outside of the hands!!!!!!

[@chrissherwood7679]

Terry I love you! Thanks for getting and putting all of these cool vids on youtube all the time :D

[@Aviationlover100]

Watched every second of it!! Loved it! nice to see Tiger warming up!

[@Shizi7]

I look at this swing and it looks pretty good to me. He went on to win 5 times in 2013, was POY, and regained the number one spot in golf. Later, tiger said that he couldn't get into the positions that Foley wanted, and some blamed Foley for his injuries. I think the previous injuries affected his ability to swing like Foley wanted, and I believe Tiger liked the Foley swing. I think I read that the reason he went to Foley was because he liked Justin Rose's swing. People were blaming Foley for stuff that happened before Tiger went to Foley.

[@Brandon-yf3tz]

Foley's players have a history of back problems. When I saw Tiger swinging like this I knew he was eventually going to hurt his back. The swing itself is okay, not great. He constantly was only able to hit fades, lost his ability to control his ball. Definitely the worst swing method he's ever gone with, and I believe this decision ruined his career. It's looking like he will never regain his health.

[@remmy100]

Brandon things aren't going too badly nowadays

[@theboss-ic2xc]

nope not at all just got win number 80

[@Jakezillagfw]

I just hope his back holds up, worst case scenario.

[@djrixxard]

7:00 he knows where his tee lands without ever taking his eyes off his shot.

Not enough background noise at this venue is there! Planes/trains/sirens, where is this golf course, next to the M25?

[@zZrEtRiBuTiOnZz]

M25? London? Yeah actually pretty close, it's only around 3900-4000 miles away. It's about 26 miles west of Chicago (about a 43 minute drive according to Google Maps).

[@MusicWazza]

Joe Blow Salute to you!

[@robinwingardh1353]

When Tiger first started working with Foley I admit I thought it was going to be horrible, like a complete stack and tilt. I have to say I'v had to eat my words. His swing looks so solid and easily repeatable when I watch it now, all the angles are great and he obviously hits it straighter off the tee considering his driving accuracy now.

[@maxpalmer1963]

thanks soooo much. gonna chop this video up into the different clubs and chuck it onto my ipod for when i'm practicing. liked + subscribed

[@tblev97]

Back when Tiger's swing was actually still good...

This was his worse swing he ever had!!

[@jakethemuss3]

When that tee flips you know you hit it money.

[@bensteeley]

Wow they all sound so pure

[@prorobo]

Who does this guy think he is with all his bros standing around watching him, Tiger Woods or something?

[@toorakofthesoutheast]

The grass is so pure

[@JBsuxCOK]

The best. He makes it look too easy. Such an extraordinary rhythm on the range, but very much different on the course?

[@MrCheatreporter]

I read so many stupid comments about Tiger its hilarious. You can only bend a piece of metal x amounts of time before it cracks.. The wear and tear on a body after so many years of pro golf is enormous.

[@deasonuk]

I wonder how many GB of T's swing foley has

[@ethanlculver]

For all the criticism Foley got, at least Tiger was able to keep his drives on the right hole. This was back when he was driving it decently well. lol

[@matthewgoldfarb6429]

+MrElculver2424 That started with butch, but was technically worst under Foley. We still have yet to see what cuomo will do.

[@adriankelley]

Looks so effortless! If only he could do that more when he plays!

[@brendlelau1048]

practice again...makes the perfect swing effortless.

[@skinsds21]

Terry your videos are great as always. Did you stay for the whole Ryder Cup?

[@Tommyve000]

GREAT THANKS!!! ;)

[@CosmicApe]

How big were the fades and how high/low was he hitting them? I curious as to what exactly Tiger's new ball flight is. Because when I saw him at the BMW his trajectory was a great deal lower than I had expected.

[@shredx81]

Ball shaping is totally down to inside-out/outside-in swing plane & set up. If a table tennis player performs an inside to out top spin strike of the ball, the ball will go left no matter where the ball touches his paddle & vice versa. I actually tee my driver up lower to get more consistency out the middle of the club face. I guarantee most amateurs who tee the ball high aren't naturally hitting a high draw. They are ballooning it up & right.

[@MrJJedlicka]

This swing is just way too good. I fully expect Tiger to figure out all the problems and have a multi-major 2013 season.

[@marinettekozlow7926]

Even here. Tiger looks stiff. He's thinking to much about position. He is just so dam talented that he can ham and egg, even this swing.

[@pdbland1]

His Butch Harmon swing was his best. Compare this to 2000.

[@jonb2437]

true statement

[@MrCheatreporter]

He was half his age then dude..

[@pdbland1]

MrCheatreporter 23-26. He was 36 here. 10-12 years is not half his age. Nicklaus won 6 Majors after the age of 35. Woods has not won one since he was 32. In addition Nicklaus also finshed runner up in 3 Majors after the age of 35 as well. Woods will go down as one of the greatest golfers of all time, but Jack is the King. No golfer will ever break his records.

[@eddiehouser4082]

You mean record he has only one and thats 18 majors and that was when anyone could play in majors he was beating no name guys besides Gary Player, Arnold they were only true competitors and Tom Watson sometimes.

[@A-FrameWedge]

@@eddiehouser4082 You have no idea what you are saying, there were great players back then that didn’t fold under pressure besides Watson Player, Palmer, like Floyd, Trevino, Casper, etc. all great players that won multiple majors.

[@innupat]

That's his coach...Foley! I think he made new Tiger!!

[@_starter]

I like how he is practicing at an angle to the range line markers. If I did that I'd leave my swing at the range

[@A-FrameWedge]

Tiger’s Foley swing was painful to watch whether it was his adaptation of his theory or whether it was Foley’s, it was readily apparent that this swing put undue pressure on his fragile back. Tiger’s Ryder Cup record is not very good he does have a winning singles record but the matches he won were low ranked players.

[@CosmicApe]

Is he trying to make the fade his natural ball flight? Or just working on them?

[@nickmartinka679]

If Tiger would have swung with this type of rhythm on the course and didn’t get as crazy with trying to play a banana slice and stuck to just a nice little cut he would have won multiple majors in the Foley era and put the Scotty back in the bag

[@vreeke777]

Routine and ritme very proffesional like a lot

[@TopShelfRippin]

I can tell he's hitting fades most of the time. Is he hitting draws with an open stance as well?

[@sportsman214]

this is random but is that jacket Nike? It looks like RLX

[@MrTsurb]

I wonder what Mr. Foley did since he had players he coached on both teams. Also, I think it would be awesome if they set up one of those shot trackers on the driving range

[@maxpalmer1963]

how big a fade was he hitting may i ask?

[@tigergolfer98]

i think he has the best distance controle

[@markus506]

How was his ball flight? Consistent? Looks like he was working on something here....

[@KaiserVonWilhelm1]

Caption said he was hitting fades, I think he was probably trying to over-accentuate fading the ball. Foley had him primarily drawing the ball, much more than the 2-3 yard draw he preferred most of his career. If you pause any of these swings at the top, though the camera angle is off a little, the face of the club is definitely closed. And I think that causes those really terrible snap hooks that was his bad miss all the time

[@rektspresso7288]

Clubface position at the top is exclusively determined by grip strength and degree of extension or flexion (cupping or bowing) of the left wrist at the top. Aside from that, many players with very strong grips (and consequently closed clubfaces) primarily play fades. Good examples include: Tiger, Lee Trevino, Bubba Watson, Jason Dufner, David Duval, etc. Having a "closed" clubface at the top does not exclusively lead to a right-to-left ball flight

[@jonb2437]

+Rektspresso Tiger played a neutral grip for the majority of his career...

[@rektspresso7288]

+Jon B Early in his career it was a tad on the strong side but since Haney and Foley it's been as neutral as you can get without getting into weak territory

[@jonb2437]

+Rektspresso true - it was on the stronger side in amateur and early pro. he went neutral on Butch Harmon 2.0. i would say he went strong again w/ Foley. he played with a lot of shaft lean with that swing

[@andrewsartori6092]

PGA golfers don't try to fix their swing the day of a round, they have to learn to play with it because fixing a swing of this caliber takes longer than an amateur on the web tour. These althletes are so specific and perfects, hitting the ball 1 cm left of ss means 14 yard differences down the fairway (varies with club)

[@longshot520]

does anybody know why his caddie tosses him a ball when he uses a tee?

[@KMAN10694]

COMPRESSION!!!

[@PictureMeFree]

I don't understand why you wouldn't capture more of the ball flight, where he was aiming, etc. It's really hard to get much from this with zero visual ball flight feedback :/

[@LoaforDie]

great tempo

[@RichHoy]

Always surprises me how shit the gear is that the US team wear every Ryder cup without fail.

[@zanister]

Teeing up low with the driver promotes a fade. Try teeing up high and low on the range next time and you will see that the lower ball shoujld have more fade movement!

[@giovanicanzona]

I am convinced and CERTAIN that Tiger can surpass Jack's major count. All he has to do is use this open stance for all shots . His irons and putting stroke has proved to be world beating using this slight cut-stroke.I am seeing in your vid that with the driver and 3 wood Tiger can do what ever he wants to the ball IF his left hip has cleared through impact. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. open stance enables that . Just ask Lee Trevino

[@ssang2280]

respect u

[@LoaforDie]

sean foley, good coach.

[@TheBUCKNASTY101]

Foley is very intrusive

[@marinettekozlow7926]

I can't watch this. He's so hunched over the ball. This swing I have no doubt ruined his back. This would reck havoc on most peoples bodies

[@jamesano358]

Good

[@f0cusen]

He said it himself it's because there is no adrenaline when he is just hitting shots on the range, there is no pressure either.

[@Zeldaturtles]

[@dominicnarramore2372]

Jamie, I haven't heard such rubbish in a long time, tiger even admits he's never hit the ball better, and has never understood his game to the extent he does now, his major performance of late has nothing to do with the "swing Sean has given him".. It's about tiger rediscovering what it was that set him apart from the ROW pre 2010! Sean has done nothing but improve Tiger. He's just had an awesome year! Give him and his team some credit! When you win a major and are as close to Sam Sneads all time record by age 38, you may comment on such a matter with experience, not blind opinion!

[@SingMeSomethingGood]

+Dominic Narramore How funny this comment looks now. Tiger broke 70 TWICE in majors under Foley in five years! In his golfing prime (his 30s) on courses he had previously owned in the majors (eg, Valhalla, Pebble Beach, the Old Course). No doubt, if he doesn't catch Jack's record, it will go down in history as Tiger becoming obsessed with his swing mechanics and going to the Stack&Hack of Foley that was his ultimate undoing.

[@RmpHockey89]

He tees the balls up pretty low. Then again, I suck.

[@edensmama79]

Reall? Oh dear....

[@terryrowles]

mostly fades, occasional pull

[@stewytiger9888]

He don't talk to his coach much does he

[@dorfenwell]

Interesting how a multi millionaire chases after broken tees

[@DeronSizemore]

Just seems like if he could take this swing to the course, he would be much better. To me, it seems like he goes after every shot way too hard on the course, especially with driver.

[@jamiegarnett3888]

Sean Foley I believe, can blamed almost exclusively in Tiger's lapse in the majors. He has given Tiger a swing that, sure, when the 25 things Tiger is thinking about are working and being timed perfectly, it's great! But... that kind of swing WON'T WIN MAJORS. He has taken the World's most talented, idolized, and revered golfer, and turned him in to an over-analytical "tinkerer", and I can't believe, CAN NOT BELIEVE, that Tiger hasn't fired this idiot. Golf Digest top 3 my ass. He's a joke.

[@scottyray12]

Davis Love lost that Ryder Cup.

[@ernestcrosby1530]

Get out of the way!

[@jamespresely1776]

Automatic

[@SingMeSomethingGood]

This swing is pure junk. It's why he only broke 70 twice in the majors with Foley in five years. Look how far away he's standing at 12:04 with his driver, he's reaching for the ball. Not how he swung his entire life, with Haney, or with Butch. This S&T Foley swing works for some, but it wasn't for Tiger, and Tiger was too stubborn and stuck with it for way too long. He won nine times in 2009 with Haney, won Player of the Year, won at an astounding rate with Haney, then changed his swing to Foley's in his golfing prime (his 30s) and that's why he didn't get Jack's record.

[@jonb2437]

exactly why he has back problems now. he over exerted and exaggerated body movements to generate club head speed. he changed too much with Tiger's swing. he should have just made subtle changes like he did with Justin Roses and Hunter's swing

[@trenton5745]

In his only healthy season while under the guidance of Sean which was 2013 Tiger was the recipient of the PGA Tour player of the year award as well as the leading Money winner on the tour. All of his wins took place in tournaments that are generally regarded as the tours biggest besides the Majors. He was leading the Masters up until he got the worst break of his career when his approch on the par 5 hit the flag stick and found its way into the water hazard resulting in a subsequent two stroke penalty that lokely caused him to drop and finish in 4th place. After he won the Players he sustained an elbow injury which resulted in a poor showing at the US open. Tiger then went on to nearly win The Open Championship. When he won the Bridgestone he nearly shot 59 in the second round finishing with a 61 which tied his carrer best. If Sean were able to work with a Tiger Woods who wasnt constantly injured there is no telling what the duo would have been able to accomplish. Remember Sean did take Justin Rose under his wing and some would say revitalized his career and golf game.

[@TheBgoodheyhey]

Couldn't agree more. If Foley had gotten a healthy Tiger, we would have seen a far more successful Tiger.

[@jonb2437]

+Trenton J Tiger has came out and said multiple times that he was winning that year bc he KNEW the courses so well... NOT bc he was swinging well. If Tiger didn't switch to Foley there's no doubt he would still be playing without severe back issues. Thanks Foley.

[@TheBgoodheyhey]

His back issues came from multiple swing changes over the course of a career at the highest sport, swinging harder than most of us could, and natural age. Also, his favoring of his left knee meant that he couldn't swing the way Harmon and Haney wanted him to anymore anyway. Harmon is a class-A coach, and Haney is despised and overrated. Foley is considered odd but respected, and well liked. His ideas are much more common now as things like Trackman make their way more and more into the highest echelon of golf. Foley gave Tiger a swing that allowed him to hit the ball farther than before with his irons even though his overall swing speed dwindled. Foley took a body that wasn't what it used to be and gave it a swing that could let it do what it always did: hit golf balls pure. Also let's not forget that nearly all the commentors loved Tiger's Foley swing when he was winning, the naysayers came out when he was losing. Same was said about Haney's swing adjustments to Tiger until he started winning. You can say it, but it doesn't make it true.

[@jonb2437]

so sad how Sean Foley gave the shittiest swing to the world's greatest golfer

[@marinettekozlow7926]

Foley in my opinion is the worst teacher in the game. He is way to complicated for Tiger. It's a golf swing not a golf position. What other sport where you swing a bat or racket are you trying to get into a position to hit it. Leadbetter and Foley are the worst. They have ruined more players than they have helped. Wie, Ko are two prime examples. Ko was smart enough to get away from him before he did any real damage. Not Wie. Her swing is so mechanical now and she's no where near as good.
