A dawning from Eldrick...my mind opens...

So I'm watching some golf channel highlights on Saturday of Tiger and that super slo-mo camera they have that takes like 50 million frames per second. This particular shot was his patented "stinger" 3 wood.

I've always wanted that shot in my repetoire. It would be very, very handy. But I just could never wrap my swing or brain around it. I've spent the last 3 years learning to draw my fairways and I have it down to a science....well, maybe scientology, but close enough. :D

In the slow mo, it shows the side view of Tiger coming in very steep, and taking a freakin' divot with his 3 wood! This absolutely blew my mind, opened every door in my golf mentality and just clicked. It just totally came to me, like hitting light speed in Star Wars.

I went out to the range on Sunday, grabbed my 5 wood later on in my session, and started into this. Needless to say, I'm not Tiger. But, after about 20 balls, I had the idea down and was pretty happy with my results. I then grabbed a 3 wood and was just smoking the thing! Huzzah!

Now, after thinking back to this wonderment and new tool for my arsenal...

....why the hell did I get away from the draw in the first place? It works fine!

Sometimes, i just don't get this bloody game, I really don't.

"Dude, you're smoking it. Maybe you should try to hit the ball differently."

"Dude! Awesome idea. Let's go get a bucket!"

Moron.:dead:

Do they have that video online? Always fun to mess around with new shots, that's half the fun of this game to me. I was hitting knockdowns by keeping my weight on my front foot today. I hit the little "green" they have at 175 6 times in a row with that knockdown fade. I was also smoking it with the 4wood, I'm going to give it a go off the tee tomorrow on a couple holes.
