He got to his left side too soon destroying his knee

Guy was a straight up a machine not human

cant argue there

He won at a greater clip '05-'09

@@Balzo93 you don't say? He won more in 4 years as opposed to 2?

Balzo93 You would be correct in the clip that was winning. However, the level of golf he achieved in 2000-2002 was never reached in 2005-2009. In 2000-2002 was greatest level of golf that has ever been played and will most likely never be reached again

@@SKBAB97 no argument there.

More sauce to come.

I still hold that Nike made inferous woods... The blades Tiger used was apparantly just as good as any mizuno or Titleist, but the woods sucked. Tiger went back the the Titleist 975D like two years after he switched for a few tournaments... it was a real embarisment for Nike... Alas, it was not meant to be. All in all, had Nike not put up something like 200 mil dollars in his contract, the biggest ever in sports at the time, he would have stuck with Titleist, which I still believe made on average far superious equipment!

I remember well, Tigers Titleist clubs were treated like holy artifacts and the golf world didn’t know how they would go on without them. Golf would have turned out a lot different if Tiger had stayed with Titleist

La Esco Blanca His swing from 2002, in my opinion, looked as if he was taking the club outside in his takeaway. This was probably done in an effort to prevent hooking the ball too much. I seem to think his 2001 swing looked more on plane.

mdtgolfer 1990 incorrect

La Esco Blanca proof?

@ShakotanFC small dick club eh?

@@all-americandad9780 you are right

Butch said TW swung it around the mid 130s at the top end. Cam cruises at 128....apples to apples there.

At this point of his career (this tournament) he had just recently switched over to Nike and started using a bigger head with a graphite shaft that was longer and lighter. Tiger said “Oh my God, I picked up some distance and some speed.” His club fitter said that at this point of his career, his stock driver swings were producing ball speeds north of 190 mph.

Matt Anderson Wow lol. It’s crazy to think what he could have done back then with today’s equipment if he was putting up those numbers with what he was using at the time

@@SKBAB97 Yeah I think he’d be right there with Finau, Champ and Dechambeau...basically a cut above the next longest hitters like Dustin Johnson, Rory, Gary Woodland, etc. The question is whether or not he’d be able to keep it straight. I think he was reluctant to switch from the 43.5 inch steel shaft to the modern stuff was because he was afraid of losing accuracy. He never was overly accurate anyway...even during his prime. So faster clubhead speeds and faster ball speeds, but if the club isn’t in the right position equals a more offline shot than if everything was slowed down.

U make the world go round
