Tiger Woods Old Drill with Butch Harmon

[@christopherwalden5807]

The syncopation, sequencing, synchronization, cadence, rhythm, and tempo. It all glides so effortlessly, exactly as it should. To channel all that body power into his forearms and fingers with such fluidity can not be appreciated enough.

Love that first swing, perfect sync downswing. As for the weights, his swing also changed with his age and body. I doubt any of us have the same body at 40something as at 18. Look at young Davis Love vs. him in his 40's. No weights but much flatter, rounder swing.

Worked his ass off and deserved everything he got, Tiger is the GOAT

@Ex troll Now living clean life That's the dumbest take. He seemed talented because he got 1,000's of hours of practice before he finished elementary. He hit 2 million golf balls before he hit puberty. You get talented real quick with that kind of effort

What stands out is the absence of the quick, powerful unwinding of the hips-torso-arms-club on the downswing. He may be going slower on purpose trying to learn something new from butch. Fascinating to see a 17 year old kid only a few years from the start of his assault on the record books of professional golf.

[@ComoGolfFoundation]

What does holding the club in front of his left arm accomplish?

[@Bill-uo6cm]

It reminds Tiger to rotate his hips and then his shoulders past the ball which will cause his clubhead to swing up and to the left after impact and miss hitting that horizontal gold club.

[@paulnguyen954]

Yes and to prevent coming over the top

[@DK.448]

Great question. I was curious about it too. 🙏🏽 Bill, codex, Paul for the answer.

[@pb12661]

if someone would have gotten through to him and told him/restricted him from all HEAVY weightlifting and told him he couldn't work with any swing coach besides butch Harmon (and his dad), he would have won 25 majors (minimum).

[@Roidzyy]

That flexibility isn't even fair lmao.

[@truthfulpatriot9129]

[@coffeebean3958]

Seen how strong tigers left hand grip looks.. interesting

[@springhillgolfer878]

Swing looks very upright, with a "Strong" left hand grip position.

[@Gitfiddle]

Actually not my favorite Tiger swing. A bit later with Butch the hands were lower at the top of the back swing allowing the swing path to move more fluidly towards impact. This is Tiger’s Augusta National swing tho that tore that course a new one, so who the hell am I? Nobody!!! Thank you for changing the game Tiger!

[@oliverizzard8751]

man i wish i had the same hip joints! Would be great to be able to rotate like that effortlessly!

I thought he didn't start working with Harmon until after he won the Masters in 1997.

[@johnnyinchi66]

False

[@JuanSanchez-tk4vr]

Wrong. His Dad turned him over to Butch when he was a kid.

[@mrg1073]

*There was a major swing change after the 1997 win

@@mrg1073 don't know about that, but he was still with Harmon after 97. For years after.

Compare his current head size to his head in this video. Barry Bonds of golf.

[@AB-nv7bz]

Why did he put on all the muscle. So much more power and flexibility when he was younger. Look at the guys like Vijay Phil and bubba. Lots of power no muscle and no injuries

[@pb12661]

I was saying that from day one. he never needed to bulk up. but tiger had a huge ego and wanted to be looked upon as a "real" athlete and wanted to look like a football player in appearance. but having lifted weights for a good part of my life and having friends who did the same.....I knew that injuries would be the end result. mix in his golf training and the number of balls you hit to sharpen your game for the PGA tour; it was never going to end well. Look how many injuries and surgeries the guy had in his career. Nothing wears out your tendons and joints quicker than heavy weightlifting. The guy should have just done stretching exercises, body weight exercises, yoga, etc. He would have broken Nicklaus' major record had he not gone nuts with the heavy lifting....

[@stcroixatlast]

Tiger was incredibly great when he was thin and flexible...unbeatable!! Lifting weights ruined his swing, and destroyed his flexibility... he could have won 25 majors if he never touched weights.

[@ProducerNAM]

What the fuck are you talking about lol? The fact he put so much work into fitness in beginning of his career and on through, is why he's had so much success and able to recover from injuries.

[@tomlynch7097]

No. He was doing seal workouts FOR NO DAMN REASON... Because of tiger EVERYONE is focused on fitness HE CHAGED THE GAME.
