Tiger
Woods and the "New" Golf Swing

After
his 79th victory at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational,
1 of 5 wins in 2013, Tiger Woods again secured
the #1
position in the world golf rankings. Due to limited
play in 2014 and a hiatus for microdiscectomy surgery for
a pinched nerve he has slipped to #5 but will soon be back
on track.
There
are a number of reasons why Tiger is finding success with
the latest iteration of his golf swing. And the results speak
for themselves. He's not only winning, but he is crushing
the
rest of the
field when he tees it up. Don't let the slow start to 2014
fool you, Woods "A" game is lurking as evidenced
by his 65 at the 2014 Honda Classic amidst
back pain.
After
his swing change, Woods gained considerable distance with
all his clubs in 2012,
and continued to add accurate distance in 2013.
He was ranked 17th out of 185 in total driving (distance
and accuracy) last year.
Before that, years of being in
the
lower
1/2
of the driving accuracy category
cost him at least a dozen wins including a few majors.
His
scoring average was also stellar and this combined with solid,
albeit streaky
putting resulted in an all around PGA Tour ranking
of #1 in 2013. Quite
an ascension
from where he was just a few years ago.
Tiger's
new swing, developed in conjunction with Canadian swing coach
Sean Foley, is both simple and complex at the same time.
This is one of the reasons Woods is still dialing in the
new technique, though it looks like he has it mastered.
There
is more than one way to swing the club effectively. The best
players in the world do 3 things well, regardless of "method".
At a minimum, they must accomplish these 3 things
at impact:
1)
Generate high club head speed which allows for distance potential,
especially off the driver.
2) Be able to hit the center of the club face consistently (in
fact, wear it out).
3) Control the club face angle and club head path so
their side spin (draw, fade) is manageable.
Accomplishing
these points starts
with the address position, and Tiger's has improved
tremendously in the past 12-18 months. It is a big reason
for his huge leap in consistency, power, and accuracy.
Here
is an image of Woods I shot at an event he
won late last year, in fact he dominated that week too. In
the picture, he is hitting one
of
his
famous "Stinger" shots
off the tee.
Note
how Tiger is settling into his address position. You can
see he is still
adjusting his right hand on the club. He's rocking back and
forth, establishing his balance.
Look
carefully at his legs and feet. He is feeling and
sensing the ground. He's digging into the ground
with that right insole. The ground will be exploited in the
rest of the swing, as it is with all great ball strikers:
"Ground
control" is one tenent of a sound, repeating swing that
I first noticed with some of the best players I worked with
while
designing
golf balls.
These
top players would hit dozens of golf ball prototypes, either
at tournaments or in the testing centers, and I had a firsthand
look at their repeating swings.
I
also learned a lot from the players who weren't the best
ball strikers on Tour. They were missing some key elements
that made their swings less efficient, and it showed in their
shot quality.
Here's
some assistance to help you Feel
the Ground Better at Address (Set-up)...
For most shots, distributing the weight 50/50 between the
right and left foot is a good rule of thumb at set-up. For
a driver, you can even have 60% of the weight on the back (trail)
foot as this encourages a slight upsweep through impact.
A
golfer should settle into the arches of the feet and allow
them to compress. This will activate the feelings in
the ball and heel of the feet. They will really come alive!
You can see the compression in Tiger's right
foot arch above as he prepares to swing.
Here’s
a helpful visual representation. Picture this in your mind's
eye at address:
There
should be about a 60/40
ball to heel distribution of weight within each foot. This
gives that
slight forward press into the ball of the foot which provides
great stability and allows the legs to act like pistons.
That is represented by the slightly larger pressure triangle
above.
Note:
This notion that a golfer sets up or balances on the balls
of the feet is
nonsense! Sure, there is weight on the balls of
the feet, but it is a result of compressing the arches.
Tiger has this mastered this in recent months. Prior to that
he was back on his heels. This one, simple adjustment has
paid huge dividends for Woods.
Watch
great players at address. One of my favorite players
to study set up to the ball is Hall of Fame
member Ernie Els. He
grips the ground at address like a cat. He is
balanced and relaxed. Ernie’s nickname, “The
Big Easy”, speaks to his free flowing, powerful swing;
a swing that starts from a balanced set-up position.
When
a golfer establishes a comfortable, balanced position at
address, there will be less need for compensations at the
start of the swing. The swing will be off to a great start.
The
stance pressure distribution above is
the foundation
of a Tour caliber golf swing.
But
let me be very clear, the weight distribution only starts
in the pressure distribution above. It changes
dramatically throughout
the swings of the best players once they are in motion.
The
best players know where the weight moves throughout the
swing, the high handicap golfer does not. The best ball strikers,
the guys that turn heads on the range, center their strikes
swing after swing. It's the result of a coordinated symphony
of movement.
They
execute the
downswing (or the money part of the swing) with effortless
precision; a crack and the ball is on its way, boring a hole
in the sky.
The
top players in the world like Tiger, Rory, and Luke all
use what I
call The
Key To A Repeating Golf Swing and
ride the motion right to the finish position.
By
doing so, they all achieve those 3 points outlined
above (swing speed, center contact,
club face/head control). They all do it with very different
looking golf swings. But they are all using The Key.
The
Key To A Repeating Golf Swing results
in maximum swing speed and ball speed,
so distances increase,
and scores
drop.
Do
you know that in great golf swings, the
ultimate goal is more Golf Ball Speed off the clubface?
And
the fact is that... Ball
Speed is achieved at Impact via the Downswing!
It's
achieved from transferring all of that club head mass powerfully
into the back of the ball at impact. Club head speed is only
part of the equation for ball speed. Tour players, club golfers,
and weekend enthusiasts need to smash the center of the club
face time
and time again,
to
the point
where they begin to wear a nickel size spot in the middle
of that face!
There's
an old saying, "Center of the club face, Center of the
fairway".
You can learn to do this easily using The Key to
a Repeating Golf Swing, just like I did.
In
fact, to the left is one of my actual driver faces. That
worn spot is simply the result of repetitive, dead-center
strikes. And my swing speed is just slightly over average,
but I learned
how to harness it all for maximum efficiency.
All
great players, past and present, male and female, are performing The
Key whether
they are consciously aware of it or not. Yet it has nothing
to do with the arms, wrists, or gimmicky hand action "tricks"
through impact.
When The
Key is performed correctly, the downswing
will be on auto pilot. You will be held captive by your
own great
swing.
Impact
sounds like a gunshot (especially off the driver) and the
golf ball is compressed as efficiently as possible. You will
use all of your available swing speed with no power
leaks, just like Tiger and company.
I
go into detail in the The
Key To A Repeating Golf Swing exactly
what the secret is to direct, central impact and
how to achieve it after only a few swings. Then I show you
how to quickly "educate" your body so your Tour caliber downswing
swing becomes virtually automatic.
If
you are not happy with your game and are looking for a new
direction this 2020 season, I would like the opportunity
to help you by showing you The
Key To A Repeating Golf Swing and
my complete swing technique.
You
will benefit from my firsthand experience inside the ropes,
working with some of the top players in the game. I am convinced
you will benefit tremendously from my swing instruction,
short game strategy, and expert golf ball recommendations
(learn more below).
In
all my years of playing golf, I have concluded that a
golfer can not break 80 without a repeating golf swing.
It does not have to be perfect, but it must be reproducible.
When a repeating swing takes form, a whole new level of satisfaction
results as the golfer is now able to play the game the way
it was intended.
My
trademark move, The Key, delivers
the club head right back through the ball with precision
power and control. It is the star of the show. I
can't play without it.
In
fact my discovery of The Key was the very catalyst
for my whole career in the golf industry. It was also the
sole factor that...
Took
my scores from the 110's to the 70's after struggling for
years
with inconsistent ball striking and a stagnant handicap.
I'll
show you exactly what I've shown over 10,000 golfers from
61 countries, many of whom broke 80 in their very
next round after putting The Key into use.
I
have also added some great bonuses to my 2022 complete package including
Lifetime expert, yet brand unbiased new Golf Ball

recently introduced the new 7th edition of "The

(over 250 testimonials on file).
In
fact, the following is a note typical of the type that
hit my inbox all week. It is genuine and unsolicited:
"First
ever even par round"
"Hi
Robert,
I
just wanted to pass on that over the last few weeks
I have being playing better and better, until the
peak which was just yesterday.
I
played at a local course and for the first time
in my life I shot under 80, and
not just under. I hit 38, 36. A day of firsts, first
ever even par round, first time in the 70's, 4
birdies, just an all round amazing result.
I
owe a fair bit of it to you as I am adhering strictly
to your teaching.
Thanks again and best regards,
Dale
N. - Maylasia
P.S. I have just received 2 dozen (name
removed) golf balls, the ball you recommended for my
game (although the score yesterday was with a (name
removed), needless to say I'm starting to love this
ball quite a lot) and the next time out I intend to try this
ball. I'll check in with you early in the new year to see if
there is anything else that you recommend."

"your
instruction clears the head"
Robert,
"I
am sure you have received many testimonials in
the past but how many within the first
few hours.
I
purchased & read your e-book this morning -
as usual, after reading I needed to go to the practice
range to see if it at least worked sometimes for
me before committing any further time - patience
is not one of my virtues.
Whilst
I hit the ball well & hit what I was aiming
at most of the time that is not the reason for
this reply.
For
the first time in my 40 years of golf I felt & knew
at the top when I was in a good position to hit
the ball solidly & could predict the outcome
from the top of my swing.
In
short, thank you - I now have the new sensation
of the correct feeling at the top - golf is not
a game of perfect but given 5 minutes practice
I am convinced that "simple" is the
answer for the amateur/social golfer to play good
golf without hitting hundreds of balls per day.
- your instruction clears the head of the thousand
thoughts that ruin scores & a good day out
with the boys.
I
started a skeptic who expected the same rehash
of information, instead I am pleasantly surprised."

"Brilliant,
stunning, unbelievable is all I can
say."
"Dear
Sir,
As
you will by my e.mail address above I
purchased your Key system and I am amazed
by its immediate change it has had to
my swing and went from 107 for
an average round to 90. Brilliant, stunning,
unbelievable is all I can say.
Thank
you so much for your prompt reply and
superb service you have given me, I have
just read the ‘Key’ again,
just to refresh and keep the practice
going to improve even further.
..its
great to be able to grin on the first
tee knowing that I know what MY FRIENDS
WOULD LOVE TO KNOW."

best golf book I have ever read"
"Hi
Robert,
Thank
you so much for your comprehensive response
to my golf ball recommendation request.
I am very impressed...
I
read your wonderful e-book “The
Key to a Repeating Golf Swing” this
weekend, and found it to be the best
golf book I have ever read (out
of probably 40 or 50 of them).
Great
job! And I’ll be recommending you
to friends – although not the ones
