If Tiger isn't buying into it..What are He and Hank doing?..Playing "Paddycakes?".....


Brian...Our generation will get its turn...soon enough....Hank is a helluva coach despite his belief system...but you're right..Nothing these guys do is very impressive...

Tiger was at first trying the parallel planes theory towards the beginning of the year and ya well, he sucked. I always refer to the buick open (which he won by luck).

Par 5 18th hole, he was hitting 3 iron to the green. It was the worst/flat/"parallel plane" backswing i've ever saw and what happened? Exactly what should happen with a backswing like that: he came way under plane and basically whiffed at it. He was lucky enough to fade the ball in between the pond in front of the green and the 8 yards of grass next to it.

if haney did anything he helped tiger really learn how to "swing" and get that full roll. That's one reason why the stinger didn't work as well (hitting) and he does it different now.

All i'm saying is that Tiger really isn't doing anything that Haney teaches, at all. He did what most knowledgable ballstrikers do: they pick up what they can and then ignore the rest.

If you want specifics i could talk to him and get the latest scoop.
