Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way.
This is one of the bigger differences with his swing now vs. 2000-2001 (which I agree Brian, was MUCH better)


I should clarify, I wasn't commenting that Tiger's flying wedge alignments were anything new - just that this was an excellent example of them -

The difference IMO is that Tiger can and does 'recover' from a less than ideal backswing/top of swing that he has now - the too flat/arched wrist move I don't care for - when his TEMPO is on, he'll recover, but as we saw at the Masters, when his tempo was off.... fore right!

That said, when he properly uses extensor action and keeps the 'structure' of the wedges in place, he looks as good as ever - much better plane than the last couple years and closer to the 2000-2001 season


Two things to work on Tiger - extensor action and tempo - get those wedges set and KEEP them with extensor action and the tempo issue won't be much of a problem!
