Here's How to Do the Test
Put this video up on a TV in your living room where you can swing a club - you'll need an 8 iron.
Then set your phone up to record both you and and the tv screen at the same time.
Your job is to match Tiger's pace. When he starts the swing at the end of the countdown timer, you start.
When his downswing starts, you start.
When he hits the ball, you should be at impact (you can just make practice swings if you can't hit a ball).
You may be thinking "I can't swing as fast as Tiger".
You're going to realize that you must be prepping to fire the right arm immediately and start throwing the hands and club from the top in order to match his pace.
The swing happens so incredibly fast in Tiger's swing that there is no time for thoughts and no time to think through body movements.
But if you are always prepping to fire the right arm, you will be able to match his pace.
Any excess radial deviation and you will be late.
Any slack in the arm swing getting too disconnected from the body, you will be late.
Trying to overturn your body, you will be late.
Keeping the right arm more connected to the body turn, holding the club more firmly with the right hand, minimizing wrist cock and firing immediately from the top with the arms and hands and you will match his pace.
Post a video if you can of you attempting this as I would love to see it, good and bad, in the community here.
You will likely find that you are going to be finishing your backswing by the time he has already hit the ball at first and you will have to keep tightening up your move to match his.
The video plays 3 times, then reset and start over. While Tiger's swing may look slow, it's actually happening extremely fast.
Learn from Golf's Greats - The GOAT Code
I'm going to share with you one BRUTAL TRUTH you may not be ready to hear...
Golf is exactly as hard as YOU MAKE IT.
That's the truth. If you struggle, it's because you are choosing to struggle.
With proper fundamentals, consistent ball striking is a given, it's that simple.
But in the more than 100,000 swing reviews and lessons the RotarySwing team has given we see the exact same mistakes made over and over again.
Amateur golfers tend to do the exact OPPOSITE of what the Greatest Of All Time (GOATs) did in their swings.
That's why you are getting the exact opposite results!
Here's the Answer to the Golf Swing
The GOAT Code is a series of videos that walks you through what the GOATs actually did in their swings.
But more importantly, it teaches you what it FEELS like to swing like the GOATs.
Feel is what matters most as that's the only thing you get to take with you on the course.
But to learn the feelings that I share with my students, I had to DO IT first.
That's why my swing looks so similar to Tiger's early 2000's swing, I figured out what it FEELS like to swing like Tiger.
What does it feel like?
Like "warm apple pie", to quote a famous movie line. It feels INCREDIBLE!
While my swing is not a perfect match (yet), it's far closer than anyone else and I can teach it to you and explain it to you in a way that you can relate to through feel rather than a bunch of complicated thoughts and mechanics.
And that's what The GOAT Code is - my explanation of how to FEEL your way to the greatest swings of all time.
When you're ready to hit the ball like the GOATs and end the maddening search for swing tips and thoughts that work only a short time...
Learn the fundamentals of the GOATs and play golf like you never dreamed possible...
Or keep suffering and being frustrated - up to you!
