Happy Thanksgiving! and Amen to your list!
Up in Pennsylvania awaiting Turkey time and pulled out Tiger’s “How I play Golf.” Was interested in your comments on his instruction regarding first achieving width in the golf swing by starting out low and slow. He also has a picture in his book showing what you refer to in your video as the “Two Piece” takeaway. He shows this with a big “NO” lettered on it.
As you know, I have been struggling with finding the proper takeaway sequence and have been toying with trying the two piece, even thought my natural backswing seems to be one-piece. I also know that in the past I used to try to start low and slow, especially with the driver and this seemed to work, unless I let the club stray inside.
What is the best way to achieve width a la Tiger while still getting on plane going back?
Have a blessed Thanksgiving – keep the videos coming!

Todd,
thanks for the response and the question. I still feel like you are a one-piece guy but to maintain width to the top of the swing is key as well. I feel this is done with the trail arm(for you the left arm since you are a lefty). You need to feel as if you are pushing out at the top of your swing to maintain the width and keep from overswinging or getting over extended. As for Tiger, he does a little of both. He is more of a one piece guy with the driver swing but if you notice on his short iron and wedge swings you will see him set the club much sooner to create more angle unless he is trying to take spin off the ball. His book is not that good so don’t read too much into his instruction. the only thing I got out of the book was the light grip pressure from Ben Crenshaw and the mental games section.
Have a great Thanksgiving and I will see you and your son real soon
God Bless
