Tiger said in his press conference on Tuesday at the 2015 Phoenix Open, that he is having a lot more fun now because his clubhead speed is back! In the new video, I'll show a great new look to Tigers backswing and I'll show you how it mirrors the RST model swing almost perfectly. We knew that if Tiger wanted his speed back that he must get into a much more vertical position at the top of his swing. This will hopefully save his body in the downswing and keep him healthy for the 2015 season.
- Lower body stability
- Hands and arms more into vertical position
- More speed with less work
okay rotary spin golfers this is RST instructor Chris Tyler giving you a second look at Tiger's newly built golf swing and I got great news for you guys it looks like he's getting back into almost a full RST form of the swing I know in the the previous years when we were starting to look at his golf swing we started to see a little bit flatter and a little bit deeper of a position with his hands and his arms at the top of the swing and he openly spoke about his his speed coming back in his press conference yesterday and it's going to be attributed to a really good solid position at the top of his backswing so this is going to be our second look at his new move here and I've got a model swing over here on the right hand side of the screen so you can really see how it's very similar to what we're doing here at RST so I'm gonna go ahead and work Tiger into the takeaway here we're gonna look at some of the similarities there's a completed takeaway model swing wise this is of Chuck Quinton the founder of rotary swing okay so a couple of key points to take a look at if you look at where the club head is in line with the hands elevation point is pretty much spot on also notice lower body lower body looks very very stable at this point you can see that left leg starting to move just a fraction hips have rotated maybe five degrees or so the Tigers always had a ton of lower body stability and this is a really critical move for your golfers at home that have always noticed that you're seeing too much of your lead leg into the takeaway that's really going to show you that there's some pelvic instability so double check to make sure that you're loading up your trail side properly and then from this particular move right here you're gonna see he moves his hands and arms much more into the vertical plane over the right shoulder and gets into a beautiful spot okay this right elbow is much higher than what we've been accustomed to seeing you can see his hands are up above the right shoulder and from a model swing perspective you're gonna see the exact same kind of move here okay so you're gonna see a very similar position right elbow in line with the body using the base of the the pectoral muscle there to be the kind of the elevation point that we're looking for and the hands up above the right shoulder so a very very solid position to start to work down from this is a position that Tiger is not going to really have to spin his his lower body really hard to get out of the way and we were seeing that and then we were also noticing that he would have to steepen his shoulder plane post impact to help hold the hands and arms out in front of him so we're really pleased to see this we're really thinking that Tiger is gonna do some great damage with this golf swing and it's certainly exciting to see his speed come back as well so a couple of good videos for you guys to check out is five minutes to a perfect backswing that's a great video that's going to show you how to create the same sort of swing shape just like we're seeing from a model swing where you either look like Chuck or Tiger at the top of the move and we also have five minutes to a perfect backswing checkpoints video we also have a pool noodle shoulder elevation video that's going to talk to you about proper shoulder elevation and give you a couple of key checkpoints so I'm going to put those videos over to the right hand side of the video player for you guys and again I just wanted to give you guys another second look here at Tiger's new RST look we're excited to see it and now let's get out there and put the speed and the power back into your golf swings as well make it a great day
