[12 piece bucket]

I am well aware that many tour players in fact drop their head, and many who do hit it far. It is part of their body related procedure which may amplify physics and reduce throwaway, but it carries a prohibitive price tag, and a compensation Must be made. Ask yourself this, do you think tiger would really lose distance if he didn't bob his head? Even if he did, His swing speed is 125 plus, would it matter if it dropped a few MPHs in exchange for a lot more fairways hit? He is a professional golfer after all, isn't it a little embarrassing hitting only half the fairways...Wouldn't a centered motion create more distance because of the efficiency of the motion? and by him not having to create compensating forces with muscular effort, the flow of speed would be less interrupted and the club head orbit less disrupted. Also I guarantee tiger could hit it further and straighter with a longer length driver and a head that does not bob or maybe a lower loft and more forward ball position. Sure maybe bobbing amplifies tigers physics, does tiger really need more power, No his stats would indicate he needs to hit it straighter. The nationwide guys consistently average longer distances off the tee than the PGA tour guys, there's a reason Why, accuracy is more Important on the big boy tour than hitting a drive 315 vs 305.

a player has a limit to hand speed, maximum controllable hand speed as jtillery pointed out, the speed is happening, flowing through this position, he is not trying to hold off, which would In effect actually slow down the whole sequence because it's not a flowing force, rather it is an intuitive result of MAJOR TALENT tiger instinctively senses how to apply a high power sequence. Is this thread only about the snap release?

The case could be made that this is what tiger has done for so long it is a personal preference that must be worked around instead of changed per se, nevertheless it is a snare. Probably just by backing it off a little bit tiger would improve his accuracy and still maintain his coveted power.

Good question......

The thread is about the analysis of that picture....


Is that picture a snap release?
