Honestly, if Tiger would just go back to what John Anselmo taught him, he would be in better shape than with his current motion.

In the book "'A' Game Golf" Anselmo lays out drills that teach the magic of the right forearm (indirectly, but at least Tiger would get back the bent right wrist, which would get him on the right path again)

Peter Kostis actually faulted Tiger Woods for having his right forearm too high at address during a telecast. Hey, credit where credit is due, well, played, Peter. :)

How on earth...?
 

What manner of compensations are needed to get the right forearm on plane at impact from that high address position? So many of the best players do, so I am kinda curious how they do it.

Dipping down of the head for starters, more hip tilt, and more spine/axis tilt than at address than would otherwise be needed. Also more likely than not, manipulation of the hands to some degree to square up.

If the right forearm is set properly, a lot of 'slop' is taken out, for a much more efficient and stable motion.

Off-topic-ish, but from a down the line view, say right between the foot line and the plane line, when would the forearm and shaft appear inline and on plane?

The right forearm flying wedge should stay intact to provide support to the swing, but how that is seen down the line will depend on perspective/camera angle. Certainly at impact. Best to start another thread if you want to discuss this outside of Tiger's motion.

Thanks, Edz. So Tiger would improve if he set up any degree closer to his actual impact fix alignment? That seems remarkably simple! I say we keep all of this a secret and watch Brian scale the world rankings!

Strength in numbers
 

Ed,

Isn't it interesting that when you understand TGM, we draw similar conclusions? Can't argue with Physics or Geometry for that matter.

Yes indeed...... and another from early 2008....

It sure does help to have a common language and understanding of "the" goal - sustain the line of compression, and the alignments needed to get to that goal (the flying wedges).

Despite many seeing TGM as complex, it can be boiled down to simple concepts and alignments. A level right wrist and the flying wedges are big shortcuts!

No magic of the right forearm...
 

No magic of the right forearm...in this case
