The Real Tiger Woods Golf Swing

A lot of people have been asking for a long time, "why is
Tiger (Woods) so good in his game? How can Tiger be
consistent on every Tour? What does Tiger do differently
with his game to make him the success that he is at golf?"
and the list of questions go on and on. Some people
theorize that it's all about his putting game, while some
people say that it's the power of his drives, some people
say he has got the strength of a bull and some opine that
it is his golf swing.

These people may be right, but then again they may not.
Depends on how you look at it and what kind of golfer you
are that would dictate what you will say. But in reality
most of us already know the answer but tend to say
different things because we can't really admit to the fact
that Tiger Woods has the best darn swing in the world today.

The reason why I say it's the best is because of his
natural ability to use his dexterity, flexibility and
strength in one fluid motion to create his tour winning
golf swings. Knowing this let's break down the famous Tiger
Woods swing in to 4 key elements of the full swing motion.
These are 4 key elements of Tiger Woodsí swing:

1. At the very start of his swing. Woods uses his amazing
flexibility to reach far back (notice that when he extends
his swing backwards it reaches farther than most golfers on
any tour, this is one of the main advantages of Woods ),
extending his range of motion at the same time as keeping
his rotary torso in a straight line over his right leg.

2. Once he releases the swing forward, Woods has already
built up maximum clubhead velocity. This is achieved by
rapidly turning his torso and pressing his right leg
forward toward the swing. Throughout the full motion of the
swing, Woods wastes little or no energy by keeping a
straight line above the ball. Aside from the velocity and
the force from his shoulders and arms, he uses his upper
body strength in the swing as he pushes forward.

3. Woods drives the clubhead through the ball (maximum
clubhead-ball contact is needed so the chance of slicing or
chopping the ball is avoided), using the force from his
hips, shoulders and wrists he concentrates impact force and
makes a very high initial ball speed. Within 2 feet off the
tee and the club the ball is now traveling at speeds that
reaches around 180 miles per hour ñ this ball speed is up
to 20 mph faster than the average tour pro.

4. One of the most over looked elements and factors in the
golf swing is a good follow through. A follow through is
the after impact motion that makes a full motion achieve
fluidity. By this time, Woods allows the club head's
momentum to lengthen his follow-through (this means that
the force of the swing is kept at the maximum level from
the start of the swing, any decrease in speed will make the
follow through rough) far around his back, completing a
long and smooth clubhead rotation.

And that is the secret to the championship winning golf
swing of Tiger Woods.
