Tiger/Foley has to be confused. I remember him saying in a G&A how his goal was to continue rotation throughout the swing. He needs to realize you can't rotate when your left leg and spine angle looks like > lol.

I'm going try to ask foley about this during wellsfargo this year. I saw him last year during a practice round and he was super friendly.

I'm not trying to be mean, but how do you start that conversation?
"Hey Sean, I started a thread on GolfWRX about Tiger's driver swing, and..."

Lol - valid question. He was friendly last year so I'll just be honest. I'll say I'm a big fan of his students and of a lot of the stuff he takls about, but I have a question regarding rotation and hip movement. I'll say I think it's hard to rotate if the left hip gets left of the left heal and I noticed tiger does that. I'll ask him if it's something their working on or if there's a reason they do it on purpose.

Maybe he'll offer you a job on the spot.
