I love these Swing Theory videos because Mark's analysis is spot on and usually when I see a swing analysis video, I'm yelling at my computer in frustration because of how cluess the analyst is. This is never the case with Mark and he does a great job with this series.
Very few swings as fundamentally sound. Adam Scott comes to mind, very comparable. But Tigers swing is just, it's his. Little difference that made it his and was/is so enjoyable to watch.
You gotta love tigers swing. Scott has basically used tigers 2000 swing as a model for his own. Everything is so nice neutral & balanced which allows them to play all the shots with little manipulation. I’ve always tried to copy Scott’s and tigers positions and the way they play the game. Of course the game is played between the ears but having a technically sounds swing certainly helps hitting the ball flush and consistently.
@@method341 Scottie’s swing is pretty close to the same positions as tiger and Scott, similar swing planes, square club and wrist at the top, similar posture, similar turn & lateral moves through the ball. The 1 big difference is he lets his trail foot move back and in at/after impact. Very similar in most aspects. Many ams could learn from all 3 of their foot movements, a huge mistake many make is letting their trail foot/leg come up and out towards the ball before impact, good ball strikers have their trail foot pressure moving back& in before impact then it comes up and around. Scottie just let’s his foot slide with the momentum but all 3 of them’s trail foot is shifting pressure in the same direction not allowing early extension, a high handle at impact, that trail leg getting out towards the ball will usually cause heels/shanks for players that do the opposite and let that foot come up and out before impact. Same with other guys like Justin Thomas who raise their foot early, it’s moving back & in 1st then comes up and out after the ball is gone. JT and sheffler are 2 players I’ve heard people use to justify claiming foot work is irrelevant, but it certainly is not irrelevant, you can lift early if your doing the correct way but no good strikers allow that trail foot/leg to come up & out towards the ball before impact, that’s a recipe for poor strikes and probably shanks. All 3 have extremely similar swings.
@@TheWedgeWizard you are a genius I was always wondering why I would hit occasional shanks, I think this mixed with a little bad alignment definitely caused it. I play of a 2 handicap and it’s crazy cause it will come out of nowhere
Great swing, great analysis. Love listening to a pro talk (professionally and with some due respect) about the mechanics of the golf swing. No better swing to showcase great mechanics artfully deployed. Scott’s is a great swing to watch, but with Immelman’s narration it was easy(er) using Tiger’s swing to see how the kinetic chain, for lack of a better phrase, works (or should work) in the golf swing. Really marvelous.
You could give Tiger's exact swing from 2000 to 5 different guys on tour and they wouldn't be able to beat him, because Tiger's biggest strength was his mind and ruthless mentality, the fact he's won so many majors with so many different swings proves it. Same with Phil Mickelson who just schooled everyone except Rahm & Koepka at 52 years old at The Masters finishing 2nd. Give the Tiger Woods of 2018 Tommy Fleetwood's exact swing and Tiger would win a major with it.
The circa 2000 swing to me was flawless. Also, I don't think anyone in history has tinkered with their swing and been able to play consistently great golf. This makes Tiger the GOAT in my eyes.
There aren’t many tour pros who haven’t consistently tinkered with their swings. John daily, bubba Watson are 2 I can think of, but most players are constantly tinkering and trying to improve. Tigers swing really hasn’t changed that much, it got a little longer and more square in the late 90’s, a little flatter and fanned open around 05-15, now it’s a little higher at the top similar to 2000. everyone’s swing is going to evolve over years and years, especially when they get older and your body changes. I’d say guys like Ricky Fowler have made way bigger changes to their swings. Jordan sleuth just made some changes, Sergio’s swing has changed a lot, Justin rose, ect. They’re all consistently tinkering and trying to ingrain changes for the better. It’s ingraining the changes to become instinctive that’s the hard part, it’s easy to consciously change different aspects but to get to the point where you don’t have to think about it is the hard part.
I agree...that's the greatest golf swing ever created. He turned pebble Beach in us open conditions into a par 68 muni from the red tees with that swing...
@TheWedgeWizard but why tinker when you're winning 30% of your tournaments if not more...he was humiliating the rest of the tour with his 2000 swing. Nobody else has played like that ever. Other players never won at that rate so tinkering is understandable. I agree too about daly and Watson...they have home made swings and pure talent to use them with perfect timing...
@@TheWedgeWizard I guess I shouldn't have used the word "tinker." What I meant was - Woods made MAJOR swing changes with different coaches and swing theories over the course of his career, and was still able to win consistently. I agree that everyone makes small adjustments on a day-to-day basis. But few pros, once they undertake big changes, can return to their top form.
The golf swing featured in this video is a true spectacle. The golfer's technique and control are inspiring, and I am determined to integrate similar elements into my own game. This video has reignited my enthusiasm for golf, and I look forward to honing my skills.
I love how the fundamentals are mostly all the same between all the best players but with all different swing style. “It’s golf not golf swing” Wonderful analysis of Tiger. Keep them coming!
I watched Trevor Immelman at the 2005 Canadian Open at Vancouver's Shaughnessy Golf Course . He was on the practice tee talking with VJ Singh, and hitting shots. I remember thinking , that has to be the most perfect, elegant , fundamentally correct and best golf swing I had ever seen. Later , that year , Gary Player was commenting on his swing as well, and said it was the best in the world. So, he is the right guy to comment on Tiger Wood's swing, I would think!
Gotta create space with the hips at the start of the downswing if you don’t want to get stuck with heel shots. So important. I feel I’m in good company if Tiger does it as well.
Rhythm and dynamism combined with pure technique…and strength. Every shot in his repertoire. Did he have finesse in every area? No, nobody does, but what he had was world class consistency in each technique needed across a hole. The greatest.
Crazy hes on his 5th golf swing, won the Masters in 2019 with his 3rd(4th?)swing. All he needs is 4 more majors to tie. I'm still riding with him the whole way.
Let’s not forget t’s a God given talent. Tiger worked extremely hard to be great but the talent God given. Tiger is one of my favorite golfer and Spieth. I want him to win again and Spieth exciting to watch both of them golf.
*Mark, your way with words is simply enchanting. The term 'elegant' immediately springs to mind when I think of your exceptional linguistic prowess. Your ability to effortlessly weave together phrases and sentences is truly captivating. It's as if you possess a magical touch that transforms ordinary words into a symphony of beauty and grace. Your command of the English language is nothing short of extraordinary, leaving us all in awe of your talent.*
Mike Austin???? Really??? 82 wins, 15 majors and you go with Mike Austin? It’s like knowingly choosing the horse that’s only fast off the line but can’t get to the 1/4 mile, instead of the one that wins the race over and over and over.
I think the camera is slightly off center from his target line, so his swing looking cross the line at the top is not accurate I don't think. Or at least not as bad as it looks here because of the angle of camera.
so he’s using way less hip rotation in the middle of the iron swing? looks like he’s squatting and going back to start position with hips until he follows through, are you not supposed to rotate with the iron?
SWING THEORY! Yep, just a theory. It doesn't matter how you swing it just matters if the ball goes straight. Talking about a perfect swing just gives the announcers something to act like the pro golfers are so much more special at hitting a ball than a normal person.
This narrator's accent is all over the place. I feel like he starts his sentences British, and by the time her gets to the end of them he's gone full Southern Belle.
Why not have an actual PGA of America teaching pro do these video swing analyses? No players on Tour are hitting up Trevor Immelman to be their next swing coach.
Trevor is the worst swing analysis guy, other than Faldo. They just say a bunch of general things that aren't specific to a good golf swing. It's like you took a 20 hcp and had them talk about the swing.
Tiger has many more wins than Sam Snead 3 of Snead wins were with a Partner so he had several fewer and Woods won so many Ryder Cup and President Cup golf events with wins in the Orient well over 120 world wide no one
He shoulda stayed with Butch. These swing changes have limited his career. Also, the size he has put on in his upper body has messed up the fluidity, mobility and speed he can generate. He put on too much muscle for an optimal golf swing.
I remember when everyone was criticizing his “squat “ move. , tiger was really ahead of his time

For April fools they should’ve done a swing theory video of my 28 handicap swing, just absolutely tearing apart each aspect LOL

I just love his one piece takeaway and jump up through impact. Effortless power.
These are seriously the best videos out. Love watching them. Hope you keep doing more players
watching this at 12:45am for a 12:30pm tee off tomorrow... come tee time I will inevitably forget everything and get a triple bogey, thanks PGA Tour 👍
brilliant, I hit an 84 on a 9-hole. Cheers PGA Tour 👍

His swing so beautiful and powerful
Goes together like PB N J
Yay finally I can wait to see this
Best swing in history
Mike Austin was way better. Tiger had major problems and kept changing it
Mike Austin???? Really???
82 wins, 15 majors and you go with Mike Austin?
It’s like knowingly choosing the horse that’s only fast off the line but can’t get to the 1/4 mile, instead of the one that wins the race over and over and over.
Mike Austin! Dear lord…
Mike F’in Austin
You could’ve picked Jones, Snead, Hogan, Byron Nelson, Nicklaus, Miller, Rory, Couples but you went with Mike Austin… Jesus.
When you watch the man, it’s pure..good shot or duff the man is a genius in the most beautiful game.
This is so beautiful to watch
Nice work coach!
You can analyze his swing all you want, but you need to know what shot he’s playing for what hole he’s shaping too!
His flexibility in his shoulders to get his arm up that high is something most people can't do
I think the camera is slightly off center from his target line, so his swing looking cross the line at the top is not accurate I don't think. Or at least not as bad as it looks here because of the angle of camera.
so he’s using way less hip rotation in the middle of the iron swing? looks like he’s squatting and going back to start position with hips until he follows through, are you not supposed to rotate with the iron?
Tiger the G.O.A.T.
Champion’s swing
