CLUBHEAD

IS OUTSIDE

THE HANDS

Under Chris Como, Tiger kept the clubhead more

outside of his hands in the takeaway than he did when

working with Haney, who encouraged him to work

the club more inside. Tiger’s left shoulder ignites

the backswing. Allied to his improved posture, this

enables him to keep his width and to swing on his

optimum biomechanical plane.

Use the rectangle drill for coiling power
This exercise will give you the feeling of a powerful coil. Rotate your
left forearm 90 degrees and turn your right arm so your palm faces
outwards. Split your hands so the shaft and arms form a rectangle.

Keep the rectangle constant

The key is for the rectangle to remain constant. Turn your left shoulder

underneath your throat with a full shoulder coil. Keep your right knee

fl exed. This is like stretching out a huge catapault.
