Learn To Relax Like Tiger

Learn to relax like Tiger

If there is one period in Woods’ career that shows his true dominance, it has to start with his victory at the Memorial Tournament in June 1999 when Woods went on to record one of the greatest sustained periods of excellence in men’s golf history as he went on to capture 17 PGA Tour titles in the two calendar years that followed. Overall, he won 32 PGA championships in the next five calendar years, an amazing feet that has not been in professional golf in decades.

 

Tiger Woods turned up the heat on the back nine yesterday to build a commanding lead of four strokes going into the weekend of the US PGA Championship at Hazeltine – the year’s final major. At seven under par, we haven’t seen him this relaxed, in control and so full of confidence for some time. His game looks better than ever.

 

We have seen over the career of Woods that his game can be so complete that he can win events, even majors, when he is not playing well. This was the case just three weeks ago when he won the Buick Invitational and last week he looked vulnerable off the tee until the weekend. Two 65s on Saturday and Sunday, another win, and a dominating first two rounds this week and his game looks back in tip top shape.

We all know that a just small change in our swings, can feel like a massive upheaval, even though it may not be noticeable to the untrained eye. However, I would suggest that Tiger’s swing has changed enough in two weeks that anyone could see the difference.

If you’ve watched him closely, as I have over the years, you will have seen him get out of position and hit the ball incredibly wide with a driver, both left and right. And you must have seen him finish his swing with only one hand on the club and spinning on his feet? But his game over the last two days has been measured and controlled. This is something that he searches for all the time and you may wonder how it can come and go so quickly for even the best player in the world?

The difference for him can be something as small as the ball position being one-quarter of an inch too far forward or back in his stance or his hands just a tad ahead or behind the ball at impact.

Mistakes like these will have a knock on effect and cause a player to have to ‘work the club’ through impact with their hands to compensate. As a result the timing can get out of sync and inconsistency becomes the result.

So far this week Tiger Woods has been swinging fantastically. The overall look to his swing is the same but over the weekend watch two things from which you can learn and perhaps introduce into your own game.

*Notice the pace of his take-away from the ball and his transition from backswing to downswing.

*Another indication is the ease of the finish of his swing. His arms and body just arrive at the end together and look controlled.

Once a player feels that his game is where he wants it, it’s known on the circuit as ‘ in the slot,’ and real confidence will follow and for a Tour pro that allows him to relax and execute his swing with predictable and reliable results. Grip pressure and tension in the hands is no longer there and a player can control distance, trajectory and spin because he’s relaxed. That relaxed grip pressure even increases the distance we can the ball.

 

To test this, try this little experiment from the tee this weekend. Throw two balls as far down the fairway as you can – hold one tightly and one softly and see which one goes further! It’s the same when hammering in a nail. See how well the action performs when you hold the golf club lightly as opposed to tightly. This is how effortless power and speed is created.

 

Tiger is in balance, relaxed and confident and I don’t expect him to release his grip on the trophy, however firmly he’s got one hand on it. But with the quality of field behind him, including Harrington, Fisher, Glover and Singh – we know that golf’s a funny old game and confidence can leave as quickly as it arrives.

How to Complete Your Backswing

How to Complete Your Backswing

Tiger Woods is nearly unbeatable when he is tied for the lead on Sunday at a major championship. However, after watching yesterday’s round, I think there three things that could allow us to witness one of the most incredible David versus Goliath upsets in golf history. If one of the players follows the criteria below, they might be the one holding the Wanamaker trophy today instead of Woods.

Making a full shoulder turn is critical to both distance and accuracy.

From time to time, we all have a tendency to shorten our backswings. Your muscles may not be as loose as normal, you may be faced with a crucial shot and get over cautious, or you may think that shortening your swing will give you more control. Whatever the reason, not making a full shoulder turn can have some negative effects.

Firstly, and most obviously, you’re going to lose distance. The less you wind up the body, the less power you can translate into fast clubhead speed.

More importantly, a full turn gives your body the time and space needed to complete the correct mechanics of the downswing. A truncated backswing means your lower body has to do too much work to get the golf club moving on the correct plane. The result is often an out-to-in swing path, which will result in a pull or a slice (or at best, a weak fade). A full shoulder turn, on the other hand, gives your hips time to gently rotate, which pulls the upper body round in the correct motion, which in turn brings the clubhead on a more powerful in-to-in (i.e. correct) path.

Next time you’re on the practice range, make sure you are making a full shoulder turn.I believe that you can make an great progress only you practice like this.

By the way,if you need another golf clubs,you cannot miss these styles as follows.
