tiger and that strange follow through

what is tiger doing with that strange follow through of his hands and wrist?

Tryin to look like Hogan....."Position Golf"....

Pretty Good.....I might say...

Wonder what he would do if he tried to imitate the swing of Tiger Woods?

Get it?

Got it?

Good!!!

Hogan vs. Woods

• PGA Victories- 64 vs 50
• Majors- 9 vs 11
• Yearly Win Leader, yrs- 5 vs 7 (5 consecutive)
• Scoring Avg Leader,yrs- 3* vs 6

*includes 2yrs Vardon Trophy Point winner


In 3 years it will be a clean sweep on all these stats.
Not bad for 10 years of work.

Hogan didn't play much tho. (I've read)

And also only really started playing good in his 30s....and also almost lost his legs.....and would lose to Tiger in a putting contest....(although it IS part of the game...I'm not gonna try to put that out there as a real bigtime excuse)...

Truly can't take anything away from Tiger though. Just not Hogan either.

Ben Hogan, born in 1912, played in 292 PGA tour events from 1932 to at least 1967 (his last major the US Open T34th). He turned pro in 1929 at age 17. His 1st PGA event was in 1932 at age 20 and his 1st win was in 1940 at age 28. He did not play for 2 years because of WWII from '43-'45. From '45 to '49 he won 37 times. In '49 he was in a car crash. From 1950 to the end of his career he played about 7 events per year. His last win was in 1959 at age 47. (The Colonial)


Tiger Woods to date has played in 210 PGA events.

this doesn't tell me a thing!!!!!

He is trying to make sure that his right wrist uncocks thru impact and maintain it in follow thru and finish.
Hank Haney told us that at the Australian Teaching Summit. This is how Hank teaches hinge action or as he calls it release.

That explains all the errant shots.

Too bad golf doesn't have a common language...

If all the gurus keep coming up with this stuff e.g right wrist uncocking and congruent shaft angles, the golfers will have to go somewhere to have the shanks fixed and therefore might be exposed to the common language.

I would hope that no-one, not even Haney, teaches anyone to cock his right wrist never mind uncock it during release.

Flipping Nora!

I would be curious to know if by cocking he really mean't bending with a C variation grip - which puts the right wrist bend on the same line as the wristcock. As it would then be correct to flatten out the right wrist as the left wrist uncocks during the release.

i thought we didn't cock the right wrist? how do we uncock it if we do not cock it?

Have you ever studied Hogan's Swing?

Start with Pics from the Hogan Mystique?

Then some footage?

The read some of the nice posts made by other posters...

Do you think the wrsits need stay "uncocked" for that long..creating a follow-through arc that is that long....

Does the Finish swivel need to occur that late?

Does the re-cocking of the wrists need to be delayed that long?

Does the refolding of the elbows need to be articically created?

Does all the above really matter? you've already hit the ball!!!

Or does it affect other variables that occured in the impact to follow-through interval?

Gee ...if I have a high finish does the ball behave the same if I have a low left finish?

No...why is that?..i've already hit the ball..But for some unknown reason is does affect ball flight...Doesn't it!!!!!



Sorry..for the bad attitude

Uncocking the Right Wrist to much....shifts the base line rightward and can cause shanking, blocks and hooks.....Sound Familiar?
